  • Not for me. I love the ideal of this and somewhat similar NWAr. podcast. All seem to give the Democrats spin. This one isn't as bad as the rest. But Democrat views are hard to get away from in mainstream media. I want to hear the 85% they refuse to mention or demonize if they do. I'm giving it 2 stars because the host seems polite and is less political than the rest.
