It waa a very bad tempered interview with a Muslm leader.
Host too busy ranting not listening he crashes his own program before it can get going. Don’t give up the day job
I was very disappointed with Freddy Gray’s episode on what is going on at Mar e Lago. It was below the standard I expect of him and The Spectator. There was no attempt at any balance. I am no huge fan of Donald Trump, but your treatment of the subject was more suited to a late night discussion in a pub rather than serious and balanced journalism. I have followed Americano for some months, because I felt we were getting reasonably fair treatment of both candidates. No longer.
Utterly pompous misogynistic review by Freddie gray. You have spent too long at mar e lago and you perspective has been skewed…
Why anyone listens to this clown is a mystery to me. 🤡
