Or at least is was when I listened to FM radio - it's been a while.

It was channel 9 on television. I can't remember what it was on the radio now. For a long time, it was the only local television station we had.

WGN's reporting of the other side as if what they do is normal, just another opinion or idea. Nothing questioning the validity of drump's BS. And their morning crew seems to subtly mock Coronavirus news to prevent the spread.

Its been a long time since I lived in Illinois. Is WGN considered more conservative? That's disturbing that they "subtly mock Coronavirus news".

Naturally when either side makes its case the hefty majority of media response will be praise

I haven't watched one second, of the convention or the coverage. It's guaranteed annoyance that I don't need.

Also we shouldn't be wasting good material like the Miles Taylor stuff during the convention. It gets drowned out.

but now I wish I hadn't bothered. I could have gotten the Cliff Notes version on late night shows, minus the headache I'm feeling now. These people are all so awful, it is really depressing.
