  • Almost Perfect Except Word Choice

    Dropped Chris Hedges and the host could use less phrases like “Defund the police,” and instead just identify the problem that we need to work together to address, this show would be almost perfect. The reporting is very accurate and thorough. Love how they stand up for workers
