Love the WSJ reporting, Im a paying online subscriber and daily podcast listener. Im also a broadcast journalist. The host tone and cadence is robotic and each sentence sounds the same with no interpretation of the copy. The tone at beginning of the sentence goes up, there a pause and then the ends of the sentence has a halting downward tone. Just compare the host delivery to any sound byte and you hear the stark difference.
I listen to this podcast every day twice a day. It’s great, but I can’t stand Kathleen McCabe’s diction. She sounds like someone making a lame impression of a robot. It’s very distracting.
Who edits your show;Democrats? What happened to good old fashion journalism and both sides of the story? You go on about China’s renewables, yet silent on Chinese private industry building coal co-gen, silent on the CCP’s 150 Nuclear Power Stations, 50+ now live, nor massive hydro destroying the environment - H’mm who’s writing your news?
Fantastic efficient reporting. I only wish they focused more on big world news stories, and less stories on very boring, fringe, and repetitive topics like Warner Brothers Discovery… there are so many other more interesting things to report on.
I’ve read the recent posts criticizing the WSJ as shifting left. The reality is that the WSJ is reporting on the increasing authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. True conservatism requires reporting on the news and actions of government and other entities regardless of whether they are on the right or left. Calling a spade a spade is critical to a democracy.
