  • A fallen show

    Used to be interesting and worthy of the world’s most popular independent show.

    These days, a constant diatribe of negativity about Israel going beyond bias into a repetitive boring rant. There is no balance. Come the pay wall, I amongst many others will be gone and it will be the left wing echo chamber so historically derided by Richie.
