- Really disappointing
I listened to the mid term election episode today as my first listen. I have only witnessed such terrible journalism on Fox News and NewsMax. The restatement of the Administrations lies was unchecked throughout this episode. Really disappointed in the BBC for this one. Not sure I’ll ever be able to listen to these two hosts again. As Trump would say: SAD.

United Statesa month ago - Are ICE acting outside the law?
Why did you not ask about the masks? We now know body cameras are being gradually implemented, but this identification of ICE agents remains as a visual threat to people. Like so much of the Trump administration it is unprofessional and deliberately intimidating.

One of you is sort of standing up to him, but I would really love to hear all of you standing up to him. This is not OK and you’re gonna lose me as a listener if y... more
