  • Constantly bashing the right wing side of politics

    When I first started listening this podcast was just business news. Now it seems to be all news regardless of if it is business related or not. Sean unashamedly displays his love of the left side of politics as he consistently beats up the right and downplays the failings of the left. Journalism should be unbiased but clearly even a non major news source can’t help but ignore their own biases

  • Not about business

    I don’t like how Sean is constantly talking about trump in a negative way. This podcast is supposed to be about business news and not bashing politics. Unfollowed
