    60,000 dead kids and she’s somehow still parroting zionist propaganda. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to piece together her bias

  • Zionist Press

    I was originally attracted to this podcast because it felt like it made a genuine attempt to represent diverse points of views on political issues.

    But the unabashed Zionist messaging portrayed as “free” press is propaganda.

  • Stop Starving Gaza!

    The Free Press has some decent commentary on certain domestic issues, but on Gaza, this show is shameless propaganda. With the Israeli government practically broadcasting their genocidal intent these days, there is no excuse for an American media organization providing cover like this.
