I used to listen to every episode, but this podcast has become a cesspool of mostly opinion-based stories… Not "reporting", what emotionally based personal politically charged opinion pieces.
Politically, I am very neutral. I don't identify with Ideology. I am an American, not a political party patron.
As I'm driving, listening to stories… (not reporting, but stories), I can literally feel my eyes rolling behind my head.
Stories often reflect emotional feelings, and don't actually address the root of an issue, they don't even present an argument. It's just stupid feelings ironed into an emotional story. It drives me completely crazy.
You can have an opinion, you can even form a story around your opinion. But for Christ sake, leave feelings, and emotion, and your personal perspective of what is fair and what is not fair what is moral and what is immoral, out of it.
It's not that it doesn't, "matter". But using an emotional argument to back up a personal opinion is just boring. It doesn't offer insight, it doesn't change perspective, and it doesn't provide news. It is just boring.
I don't want to listen to a boring, heavy, heavy, heavy left-leaning opinion piece that is emotionally presented.
Stories that reflect the war between Israel and Hamas, never, never, never talk about October 7 and the hostages, nor do they ever discuss Hamas for example. It's just "Israel's war in Gaza". As if Israel woke up on October 8 and just started bombing Gaza for no reason. The war is horrible. But it's not being reported properly... Do better.
Stories that are critical of deportations, never refer to illegal immigrants as undocumented or illegal immigrants.
Stories that are rightfully critical of Trump often swim in emotions of unfairness rather than focus on the legality of his actions, or how it is he is successfully pushing his agenda forward.
It's sloppy journalism, sloppy reporting, and is often just boring.
