  • Good, independent news. Tries a bit hard on the "both sides" day to day, but I do appreciate the experts brought in on the special edition episodes.

  • This is Not an Unbiased News Podcast

    This is my last episode of The Newsworthy. More and more over the past few months, I’ve noticed that the reporting on the genocide in Palestine has been biased and lacking in context, with Erica Mandy favoring Israel. This episode’s framing of the IOF “reclaiming” land in Gaza and dropping pamphlets on terrorized Palestines was irresponsible and disgusting. I urge anyone with a conscience to reconsider subscribing.

  • Biased

    I took off a star because she is definitely biased. She doesn’t make outright comments (thank you) but will only report negative stories about republicans.

    Otherwise I appreciate the short review of news and listen daily.
