  • Often lazy and biased reporting

    It’s increasingly becoming obvious that the New York Times is either very lazy or very biased and they’re reporting of specific topics. I just got done listening to their recent story about Epstein and it is woefully inadequate and missing verifiable and accurate reporting about his ties to israeli mossad intelligence. They don’t even mention the disgraced former prince Andrew. Or how about Larry Summers. If you want accurate high-quality non-partisan and unbiased reporting then you should c... more

  • The Messy Reality of “Made in America” from Dec. 22, 2025

    This episode contains worthwhile reporting from the NYT. It speaks directly into complexities and cost of building in the US. If you find yourself to “left” of Erza Klein’s “Abundance” recommendations, I suggest a listen.

  • Horrible puff piece. What kind of journalist doesn't even challenge the interviewee??? He totally confined the Arab Hamas breaking through the fence on October 7!!! WTF? And you didn't even question the interviewee you all, "go you know why the fence was necessary?"

    And "settlements" that began in 1967 was not in a vacuum. It followed a war where Israel read attacked on 3 fronts..

  • Long time listener - bring back the old version

    Agreed with a few comments that now it’s quite dumbed down…the daily used to be incredible and insightful. The point of the host is not just to say what was just said in a HYPER simplified version, but to help us understand it in a different way. The topics used to also be more thrilling and less biased news bait. I think it’s lost its edge …

  • Liars

    Good morning, I listened to the interview with Raja shehadeh, I have never encountered anything so one-sided, not a single difficult question was asked, why didn't you ask about their education system, which is a breeding ground for murder and killing, why didn't you ask about corrupt leadership, why didn't you ask about the lack of democracy, why didn't you ask about women's rights, why didn't you ask how after more than 70 years you are still living in refugee camps? I suggest you inquire with... more
