  • naked partisanship

    Independent voter here, the naked Democrat partisanship on this show is getting out of hand. They don’t even try to hide it anymore, unsubscribed. :-/ PBS needs the NPR treatment, remove their public funding.. just gross.

    Thank you for shining a light on all the lies and propaganda that is pushed out by this regime and amplified by legacy media.

    I love the clear explanations of what is happening and the real world ramifications.

    I feeling better after listening - it’s validating and reassuring that I’m not going crazy. Opposite of doom scrolling. Thank you!
