Marketed as objective but clearly not. They need to buy a mirror and do some self reflection. Clearly there is extremism on both sides and they claim to be the conservative confronters of the extreme right but their definition of the extreme ropes in far more approaching near moderates. They seem to be on mission to sell a less than conservative agenda. That is giving liberals justification to dislike conservatives.
I am not a political junkie, but this show makes me feel like someone else sees that the emperor has no clothes. Sometimes I feel like I am the only Christian that feels so much dissonance with our current administration. This podcast helps me feel a little more normal. That could be a very dangerous statement.😂
Please please please have Mr. Richer on again at some point. What an incredibly thorough yet concise explanation of so many things that have been jumbled over the last six years. His calm, extremely well informed, rational, logical explanations of not only his view points, but the view points of those who disagree with him was incredibly valuable. We need more people like him.
Thank you for what you do.
I found Megan’s analysis of the bizarre, never-ending need for affirmation by Trump, Saddam, et al to be spot-on. If you look at narcissism as a medical/psychological issue rather than merely a distasteful ego-centric personality trait, you might find the true source of the problem. I know Psychiatrists are ethically prohibited from diagnosing anyone who isn’t their patient, but I think it would be so informative to have an expert on narcissism discuss the behaviors/needs/reactions/etc of true n... more
I always thought dispatch set out to be more of a center right or conservative outlet. This podcast it seems like almost every episode is yet more anti Trump content. The problem with that at least for me is that perspective is covered in literally every single legacy media outlet all day 24-7.
It’s over done, it’s well covered already, even I think the dispatch has great journalists.
