  • What in the hell

    Been listening for awhile and used to be good but cracks are starting to appear. Is this newspaper bending the knee to Trump? So sick of news sources that are capitulating and allowing it to change their coverage. Like today’s episode what was with the weird little comments and stupid things like signing off saying we are allowed to say Merry Christmas again. What the hell was that? So weird. Just be factual.

  • Journalism dies in darkness

    A sitting president put out two separate statements calling for the execution of senators and representatives of the opposing party for simply reminding service members that they are under no obligation to follow unlawful orders, and the reporters on this show only mention that he called for investigating and trying them? My, how this once mighty institution has fallen.
