  • Too much TDS

    Forgive me, but am I listening to The Guardian or New Statesman? Or perhaps The People’s Daily?

    This had generally been a solid, much-appreciated programme, & heretofore untarnished by Michael Gove’s wet Tory politics. Freddie Gray had commendably resisted puerile Trump hysteria (for the most part) and just about managed to separate analysis of policy from the bumptious president himself – remaining refreshingly open-minded in the process. Sadly, no more.

    Freddie has started to lean hard into ... more

    Bill Glahn's interpreation of the murder of Renee Goode is a complete right-wing distortion of the facts. I expect to listen to intelligent people on this podcast, but not downright liars, particularlyconsidering you floated this episode as presenting the facts not opinions. Freddie Gray should be ashamed of himself for presenting this podcast, and cannot be considere a serious journalist, just a right-wing hack. I was a fan of moderate Conservatism years ago, but the right-wing has lost the plo... more
