  • best show for information

    My politics have done a full turn after listening to Ana. I was a democrat and now I can't even look at them anymore. Thankful for all the information I get, but also a little bit wish I was still blissfully unaware of how awful everything was.

  • Nope

    It’s hard to keep up with Cenk and Ana’s pivots to lick the nearest boot, but this week‘s deceptive (and frankly dangerous) push is behind eugenicist Tucker Carlson. Wake up. TYT is not where it’s at.

    Everyone on this network suffers horribly from Israel Derangement syndrome. It’s quite sad, because if they could be cured with the obvious evidence all around them, they might find peace of mind.

  • Great coverage great to listen to

    Love this show! Ana is very pleasant to listen to, but Cenk can get a bit too passionate (in a yelling type of way). In some of his arguments he comes off a bit immature, but alas can at times conjure a smile out of me.

    Great show worth a listen!

    Update: Cenk has definitely made improvements in his arguments.
