    I normally enjoy your take on current events but every time you mention anything regarding Mandy Matney it is plainly biased and very snarky. I’m certainly not a Mandy fan girl but the tone you take regarding her is very off putting. Don’t discuss her is my advise if you can’t do it unbiased as you claim to be. Badges gone bad is consistently 10/10. It’s clear evidence FITS is capable of better.

  • I Wish I Could Listen

    Update: Jump The Shark: Will insists on doing a bad impersonation of Fonzi on WaterSkis as he tries to explain how he was on the “bad guy” side of Murdaugh Evidence.

    His response appears to be blaming some other podcaster.

    _________

    I wish I could listen to the journalism and take the partisan politics out of Will and force feed it back to him. Add to that his reported misogyny and then the orange ring around his mouth and his dumb, slavish obedience to The Cult of Ball Caps (even the quality ... more
