    Imagine a fact-free propagandist like Kari Lake, but remove all the charisma, replacing it with faux-intellectualism.

    That’s Pete

    Sadly, nobody told Pete that Trump killed Voice of America. Regardless, he voted in his first “big boy” election this year and will jump through any hoop to justify Trump 2.0.

    When he’s not regurgitating the Washington Examiner (excuse me his “show prep”) he’s reminding his audience that they only have one goal – hate the “leftists”.

    Never let facts or that pesky... more

  • Both sides

    I like that Pete doesn’t tell you what to think and will give you the information that he has. He does his research. If it is a developing story he doesn’t pretend that everything is correct and says that it could change. Even though you know which way he leans I find he tries to give you both sides of a story. I also like his sense of humor which can lighten up a serious discussion.
