  • Anti-communist liberal propaganda

    I loved this podcast when it premiered because I hadn’t read enough yet to realize that it’s mainstream liberal, anti-communist talking points. Try Rev Left Radio or Upstream or Bad Faith if you want real history and analysis.

  • FBI/Epstein

    Recently at least a thousand FBI agents were forced to watch epstein sex videos and read disgusting emails. I want them to testify in congress about watching rape videos.

  • Great political analysis

    I’ve been a longtime listener of Gaslit nation and I have to say that it is one of the best political commentary podcasts out there. What I like about Andrea is that her commentary has evolved with our times and has a morally consistent approach to the news, be it on Ukraine or touchy subjects like Palestine and Israel. Been a fan from the start and will continue to stick around for years to come.

  • Promotes violent radicalism

    This is the absolute last thing we need right now. Unhinged hatred and glorification of political violence.
