- Trump Derangement….
Just sick of the anti Trump rhetoric. Propaganda is not news.

Adam is a very good and knowledgeable host and Chris Mason is superb. Just listened to the throwback episodes though and what a pompous, bitter oaf Sir Craig Oliver came across as. Would not have it that the post-Brexit polls were true, just because they didn’t marry with his own over-inflated version of the truth. With clowns like that, no wonder the Remoaners didn’t get their position across strongly enough.

Niche feedback but the episode on 29/07/26 was a genuinely first rate discussion on the PMs speech today on adult social care reform and the Casey Commission. Bravo Newscast team 👏👏👏
