4.3 out of 5 stars from 2.5k ratings
  • Too much bowing to the Israel and US rightwing. The late night broadcasters very good.

    They may me the very best of the current worst but too much bowing to Israel and US.

  • Sets the standard for news

    No other service approaches your professionalism. The phone call to the US President elevates the program. News from the streets in Terran and WangCho China adds to the experience. You have no peer.
