Saw a report on local news yesterday, or Sunday.
83% of Illinoisans approve of school masks.
But, even that 3 minute report included a full 90 seconds or more, of idiot parents at school board meetings screaming about masks.
Under 10 seconds was devoted to the poll, about 15 seconds on Pritzker's reasons for signing the order, and then some teachers being interviewed about it.
5 in 6 people here want masks in schools, but 50%+ of the report was devoted to the other 1.
Stupid coverage.
