We look at how the crazy stuff happening in national politics is playing out right here in our hometown of Springfield, Illinois, by checking out what local radio, TV, and newspapers are saying about recent events. Why do big-name media people like Chuck Todd come to small-town radio shows to push their "both sides are equally bad" message, and how does this lazy reporting help cover up dangerous political talk? What happens when local MAGA politicians turn tragedy into a political show, and why do news outlets keep giving them airtime? We break down how the same media problems that are messing up national news are happening in Middle America too, and why paying attention to local politics helps us understand the bigger mess in American government.Audio clip in this episode is from Burke’s Law (ABC-TV, 1960's)  <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWffko5T_xo'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWffko5T_xo</a>Stay in Touch! <ul><li>Email: <a href='mailto:proleftpodcast@gmail.com'>proleftpodcast@gmail.com</a></li><li>Website: <a href='https://professionalleft.blogspot.com/'>proleftpod.com</a></li><li>Support via Patreon: <a href='https://patreon.com/proleftpod'>patreon.com/proleftpod</a></li><li>Mail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791</li></ul><a rel="payment" href="https://www.paypal.me/proleftpodcast">Support the show</a>
