  • Becoming irrelevant

    I loved getting news from a Catholic perspective, but with their new schedule the news is old by the time they do an episode. I still appreciate Josh and Erica’s researched analysis, but Tom’s inexperienced pov and arguing is getting old. He usually eventually comes around on a lot but it’s too late.

  • 12/31: Tom and Erica don’t get it

    Clearly they don’t know how businesses work. Finally the country is being run like a business. Accountability and results oriented. To accomplish means negotiating strategic wins and losses. I give four stars because the two show that maybe they can learn. Course Tom just needs more life experience.
