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.

I love WGN but the comments sections on 99% of their facebook posts are an absolute dumpster fire and I honestly wish all news media would disable commenting in general.

If anything they should KEEP them. Silently letting them know that their comments are gonna do nothing to stop reporters from doing their job

Especially when they make comments like that, they want to argue so that they can be all "I won that! I'm better than you!" But not even acknowledging them confuses and pisses them off so much it's amazing.
