Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 32 ratings
  • Biased reporting

    Reporting on Israel news is extremely biased and inaccurate. Might as well get your news from Al Jazeera.

  • The Real Foreign Influence is China. Report it.

    It has been widely podcasted but poorly reported by Global of the massive Chinese influence issue. Instead Global focuses on the small player India. Grab your laptop and microphone and report on the real menace which is Communist China.
