- Too much bias
I’m done with it. Leaks bias, their analysis of the Minnesota fraud was woeful. Clutching at straws on behalf of the Somali community is how it came across. Won’t listen again.

United Kingdom18 days ago This podcast has become puzzling. From supposedly unbiased, it has gone to unfazed praises of Trump.
Inez Stepman's non-sense defense that "diversity is ok, just don't it based on race." Going unquestioned and unchallenged.
The reaction to the invasion of Venezuela had been just as baffling ("Trump has wanted to do this for a long time")
I would be alright if both sides were equally discussed, but this is clearly no longer the case.

These podcasters were once willing to honestly report on Trump’s many injustices. Since Trump sued the BBC, they have bent the knee to their king across the sea. Now it’s just bland sanewashed fluff.

United Statesa month ago - Direct me please….
This podcast is an excellent insight into how BBC got to a place where they felt justified to edit a speech that preceded the violent and polarizing matter we know as “January 6”. Now that truth has come to light, I’d like to hear from BBC. Where is the podcast about the BBCs response to their alleged hand in this?
Apple Podcasts2Marniemarn123United Statesa month ago - Trump's little helper
Justin is so pro-Trump, and this is becoming increasingly distasteful. I find it hard to take this podcast seriously anymore. It's as though everything that is happening in the US is a bit of a joke, that we must regard with indulgence. There are sharper much more serious podcasts out there, like Sky's Trump 100, where commentators like Mark Stone and JamesMatthews are acute, up-to-speed, but less self-important observers - yes, sometimes witty, but not dismissive - of the threats presented by ... more
