  • Thanks from USA

    Reliable

    It’s a go to source for news. The US news is so fragmented and spotty if one is to avoid propaganda and sensationalism

  • What’s happening?

    I thought this was an unbiased news network. I chose to listen to the bbc over our local clearly biased news networks because of this. Trump derangement syndrome on full display

  • My #1 trusted source for global news

    I trust the BBC more than any other news source to bring professional unbiassed analysis on the new stories of the day. Even as a Canadian, I prefer the BBCs coverage of North American stories.

    This podcast has a great mix of breath and depth.

  • Trump Regulations and Cabinet and Laws

    Here's a thing about Kings. They don't have to respect the rules. They are the law unto themselves and that underscores the fact that this is an unDemocratic movement that doesn't believe in representative Democracy. If you think you are a beneficiary of this self proclaimed Kings, then you are sorely mistaken. You are not. The only beneficiaries are billionaires and his cabinet members who look to be one and the same. Pillaging the US for their own gains. M.
