- Enjoy It But Have Some Questions
I really enjoy this podcast and the sharp analysis and variety of guests. But it does seem to have a definite pro-Iran, pro-China, anti-US slant. The hosts and guests sometimes appear to have a certain glee in recounting what they see as a series of catastrophic failures on the part of the US. Aside from the fact that much of current media seems to be in the business of rushing to judgment and reaching premature conclusions, my understanding of journalism is that it should aspire to present the ... more

As others have said, the hosts of the Iran: the Latest podcast wear their biases on their sleeve, leading to some tedious and uninformative pods. The episode with the arts therapist in Lebanon was excruciating to listen to.

United Kingdoma month ago - Anti-Semitic Reporters, Anti-Semitic Focus
The Telegraph is so good about the Ukraine War but they only seem to have contempt for Israel. Israel is attacked and suddenly we need a ceasefire! How much of Hamas’s propaganda is being repeated here? Only good to know what British anti-semites think. There is no anti-Hamas voices here. Just Anti-Israeli bias and racism to Jews.
They talk to doctors complaining about gun shot victims with no context that these are Hamas fighters who raped young girls. They should be shot and doctors complain... more
Apple Podcasts1DexemberUnited Statesa month ago - Trump derangement syndrome
Today’s host Missed a great opportunity to have an objective report. The report started out decidedly negative dismissing the potential merit of any engagement with Syria in this terrible conflict. The reporter does not need to tell me how to think. The reporter needs to report the situation and if it’s bad for the president of the United States so be it. But an option should not be discarded just because someone who is distasteful to this particular host of the program today.. please be more ... more
