  • Definitely not “fair”

    Well, I enjoy the quick format and variety of topics the show covers, it is absolutely not “fair” as advertised. It’s very clear the host leans left from her commentary.

  • No longer "fair"

    I have listened to The NewsWorthy for several years and I used to love listening to it every morning. However, it is no longer "fair". Over the last year or so it has become quite obvious that The NewsWorthy leans left. This in itself is fine, however I no longer view the podcast as fair and one that equally shares all points of view, which for that reason I will no longer be listening.
