  • Facts Over Feelings

    Mo News reports facts over your feelings (mine included) I appreciate Mosh and his team’s professionalism at explaining facts. I found the episode explaining the background over Kimmel’s firing interesting and calming tbh, with all the rage bait and fears over our democracy, his perspective and insight was very grounding. Highly recommend this podcast to anyone that wants news over the noise and facts over your feelings. He helps me see the world through logical lens and not apocalyptic lens.

  • A Softer Spin on the Same Bias

    I was excited about this show because the idea of “just the facts” news really appealed to me. At first it felt refreshing, but over time I noticed clear bias. Words like “rhetoric” and “conspiracy theory” were used for viewpoints they disagreed with, and coverage often leaned to one side. It’s not the truly balanced news source I was hoping for, but I can see why some enjoy it.

  • One and Done

    Mo News is truly refreshing. It’s non-partisan which is impossible to find these days, and I learn so much from his deep-dives. The most important part? They can somehow deliver the worst news yet make me laugh and feel slightly less worried about the world. Mo’s knowledge of history is incredibly helpful to understand what is happening current day. Jill tends to speak to what I’m thinking and worrying about, then Mo will nerd out and take on that subject on a deep level. They truly are the best... more

  • No longer following

    I listened daily for a long time, and I think both Jill and Mosheh are personable and smart. But since Trump 2.0, I’ve struggled with what they have chosen not to cover. I tried to stick around because I don’t want to be in an echo chamber, and I appreciate that they don’t sensationalize. That said, I can’t help but feel like they’re not giving our current state of affairs the gravity it deserves.
