  • Journalism dies in darkness

    A sitting president put out two separate statements calling for the execution of senators and representatives of the opposing party for simply reminding service members that they are under no obligation to follow unlawful orders, and the reporters on this show only mention that he called for investigating and trying them? My, how this once mighty institution has fallen.

  • Still the same leftist propaganda

    I had heard that the Washington Post was trying to be more than just Democrat propaganda. It is not true. They are the same leftist propaganda they are so well known for.

  • Recently Terrible

    Let’s hire a bunch of kids to do a 30 minute podcast, so our adult subscribers can hear a bunch of stuff we already know, bad takes, and cool new words like “Tartuffe.” Maybe think about having some actual journalists on this show (if you still have any who haven’t quit the WaPo).
