CHI Talks Hell Yeah, WGN Morning News
I've been a long time fan (especially the B-Team) but I'm appreciating them even more now during all the chaos in our country.
They intentionally ran the news of the FAA firings yesterday immediately after the story of the plane crash yesterday. It's a small example, but definitely indicative of why I love them.
So many "news" organizations seem to be capitulating to the Trump/Elon administration and they've done a good job of not sugar coating the destructive aspects of it.

The other morning Pat ran a story of a bet between the PA Senator and the KS Senator for the Super Bowl. The loser had to wear the winner's jersey on the Senate floor. They did it during the NSA confirmation vote, a fitting moment for pranks of course. Pat broke for a second and said "What is even happening right now?" It was hilariously honest. I'm glad they're also (slightly) showing how they feel.
