My head wants to explode every time I try and read or watch ANY of the local Chicago news sources. They all are Trump haters and show no effort to even try and disguise there agenda.
On the national/world news I can find alternative news sources that are not left leaning in there reporting, but nothing comes close for local news.

This week there was a story about a 60+ year old handicapped man that lived alone in my general neighborhood.
He was found tied up in his basement and beaten to death. This would normally be a BIG story as it happened in one of the lowest crime areas of the city. The news was quick to report the story until the assailants were arrested, the "media" reported the offenders as "immigrants" from Venezuela and another South American country.
One had been arrested recently for a sex offense with a teen girl but the States Attorney released him just before the murder of the man.
Now that the story does not fit the agenda by the local news agency's the story is being forgotten about or white washed.
I can look at CWB and JackAss but don't find complete reporting of all the area news or events.
Any recommendations from Chicago area viewers.

Read the two reports linked below, one from ABC news the other from independent CWB news, huge difference how the same story is reported.

Outside of that, read just the headline of the story, because the rest is bullshit.

One of these days, when we move to a free society, it’s gonna be great!

^ That's just for the daily totals

I get a lot of my Chicago news from the blog.

Not that I watched much network news while I lived in the area, but I get pissed at the thought of fake news being broadcast in Chicagoland!

If you compare the quoted articals from the two different news sources I listed in my OP the difference is clear. The madding part is ALL the local news sources report the same way, the AGENDA always comes first.
Its all the info that they refuse to report in there coverage that burns me.
