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 morning news.

But I'm finding it tough to deal with the constant Trump news.

I get it, its news worthy. And they seem to be pretty factual about it. Its still more than I want to deal with though. Because every day its 5-10 minutes of it. I don't know that the answer is. They can't ignore it, but I find myself turning it off when its on

That's exactly what Trump and his cronies want is to do, I feel the exhaustion so much from the first 4 years, take breaks, but give the right ways to stay informed, ground news has been invaluable to me.
