  • Thorough analysis - Updated

    I really enjoyed this first episode. I was expecting a bit of bias since a liberal MP was invited but pleasantly surprised to hear the hosts being accurate with every segment they touched.

    Update after the second episode:

    Mickey Djuric can do a bit more to sound less biased. Her words always sugarcoat Liberals while subtly shading the Conservatives especially Pierre.

    Would love to have less bias.
