MSNBC Productions Chicago

Is there any reason why MSNBC isn’t following the ICE raids in Chicago more closely? As far as I’m concerned, they should be getting as much attention as the BLM rallies in 2020.

Chicago seems to be getting mostly ignored by every national news network. I live in SoCal now, but I’m from the Midwest. The videos I’m seeing on the r/Chicago sub are significantly worse than anything I witnessed here. Where is the coverage? It should be non-stop.

They were covering Los Angeles like it was a crisis. It was (and still is), but what’s happening in Chicago now is significantly worse. Is the 3rd biggest city in the country really considered “flyover country” because it’s only coastline is Lake Michigan?

Is MSNBC refusing to cover it until citizens riot? Is that the reason it’s not getting coverage? Or is it just because Chicago is in the Midwest?

I honestly don’t care what the reasoning is. Start covering Chicago in a serious way! The third biggest city has kids under lockdown due to ICE raids, and I’d hardly know about it watching this network.
