  • Ok but omits lots of basic facts

    I listen to both left and right podcasts, and typically they pick and choose information that suits their narrative. This podcast is no different, to their credit they do have so relevant information that is accurate but often omit glaring facts. Generally worth a listen but take it with a pinch of salt.
