  • Not as “fair” as it was.

    “The Newsworthy” has been a morning staple for me for a long time now. One of the things that I appreciated most was that the until recently the news was reported in an unbiased fashion. But in the last week or so I’m noticing in both the script and tone of voice in what I would consider to be an unfavorable direction. Please consider making a course correction in order stay right down the middle.

  • Same thing every time

    Lady, talk about something else! Every day, all I hear is you yapping about trump and the government! I hope you realize that there are other important things than trump and his drama. I’ve been a listener for a few years now , she went from unbiased to complete left. She never mentioned all undocumented immigrants that Biden brought but she constantly criticizes Trumps administration for every single action. I’ve started to feel get anti American sentiment will switch to something else. Can’t ... more

  • This podcast is team Hamas

    As a Jewish, former daily listen for about 3 years now I am horribly disappointed. The journalistic integrity is nonexistent when it comes to the validity of coverage on the Gaza/Israel war. There have been so many untrue statements about what Israel is doing/has done (I.e. withholding aid and killing babies) that I can’t bare to listen anymore. Shame on you Mandy.

  • Long Time Listener

    She claims to be “fair” and “fun”, but Erica Mandy just parrots the same, often dehumanizing, talking points from most mainstream news media. I also wish she’d think of better gimmicks than “Money Monday” 🤮 and “Work Wednesday” 🤮
