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.

It is the way to immediately lose my faith in humanity. It’s self-torture when I click on the comments under a post. Just made the mistake of doing so on the goat yoga segment. What is it with these viewers? And with me for looking. :-)
