  • fascist boot licking

    Hope that the fascist boot licking would be fruitful for it.

    I had liked it due to recent reporting on various political issues; but cannot support it anymore. Personally would much prefer if my local public radio station would drop this show.

    Seriously stop “both-siding”.

  • Yale woman got it wrong?!

    I just heard an interview dated July 2, with a Yale woman saying Medicaid cuts wouldn't kick in until four years from now! Other sources say 2026. Either this episode was mistakenly released as if it's 2025, or she's actually wrong.

  • Very here and very now

    Here = the USA. The only news stories from outside the USA that I see deal with either Israel (an extension of US foreign policy) or the new pope (an American).

    Now = what can be expressed in a very short news bite. I have even heard a reporter whispering “briefly” to someone whom he had asked a rather involved question.

  • Expect better from you

    This is the third time I’ve heard an interviewer, this time Scott Tong, who it might’ve been with last time, that their breathing during the interviewee speaking is distracting. I’m quite sure that in this day and age that shouldn’t be happening and can be controlled and produced better……Please

Trump, the National Guard and the militarization of American cities
Q: What do you make of the president's social media post about jailing critics for not protecting ICE officers?

Trump, the National Guard and the militarization of American cities
Q: Is there anything that can police the use of the Insurrection Act and make sure that the law is being followed?
Lawsuits can be filed, and courts can step in when a president's decision to deploy troops is involved.

Q: Isn't it the expectation that in the custody of the government, there should be some degree of safety?
Yes, but jails are often under-resourced and struggle to provide the necessary care.
