  • Disappointed

    It’s distasteful and disappointing to hear the WP title Charlie Kirk “a deeply polarizing figure” and comment that they clearly thought it inappropriate for the flags to be drawn half staff for him on the morning after his assassination. The media needs to stop being so polarizing. This is not us versus them. Have some empathy.

  • Change the Host

    Should be hosted by someone with gravitas as befitting the Washington Post instead of someone who sounds like a teenage AI bot.

    The New York Times and Reuters news podcasts are far better.

    Disappointing!

  • Like omg the vocal fryyy

    You can always tell who the poser hack is by her like totally lame valley girl speak and overly intentional vocal fry. Those trends are usually heard from Julia Fox, not on the news. Let's grow up plz

  • Disappointing

    The idea of this show is great and getting the highlights quickly is also enticing… BUT can we be non-partisan. The people are begging for real news. Can you not hear this? We’re not stupid. We know when the sway attempts are happening. Quit trying to manipulate your audience and give us the real information.

  • Generally, love it the information

    The information is usually really useful… But I cannot stomach this chick who talks like she’s from San Mateo in 1982

    Stop it
