  • Clearly not impartial

    I love a good political debate where the presenter holds back their bias and agenda. This is an example of the opposite.

  • Opinion masquerading as news

    A sometimes interesting take on current events, but decidedly left leaning to the point that it’s sometimes painfully propaganda-esque. Interview questions are often leading or begging the question to fit a certain narrative.
