Local News and Chicago.
Very good 2-3 minute story from a local Cincinnati station on the potential of dementia donnie sending the National Guard to Chicago. Four person on the street interviews on the "Do you feel safe" all said yes. One other said that we have carjacking & robberies that need attention, but he would rather see local leaders and law enforcement tend to these issues, not the National Guard. There were quotes from Pritsker and Mayor Johnson pretty much call it an abuse of power.
This 'local' story is a bit of a stretch because the station is owned by Hearst Television. It is quite possible that this news story is aired by other Hearst affiliates.
This same station also pointed out that that Cleveland, Colombus and Toledo all have crime rates higher than Washington DC.
I'm happy that on some level the media has not fallen asleep while this shit is happening.
