I watch this guy's show on CNN but followed the podcast because I can listen to it anytime, and it's a short 'bite' of the main show. It's depressing sometimes to hear the phone ins because you realize that there are actually Americans who believe that the Emperor really has got his new clothes on. Smerconish succesfully steers a mid course between those who see through Trump, and those strange people who think that Trump is OK. Clearly his show is watched by both sides of the spectrum. His pol... more
What’s the difference?
The difference is how the Media covers the two. The activists labeled Obama as the “Deporter In Chief” while the entire Liberal Media Ecosystem labels Trump as a Fascist Authoritarian. Remember, they’re still calling Trump “Hitler” and he got the Jewish Hostages released
The Mainstream Media has Brainwashed liberals into believing we’re living in 1930’s Germany. This is why their base has been radicalized
I like you but your podcast is mostly crap... It's half ads and self promotion. Learn from the biggest shows, they have minimal ads, maybe 5-10% of the total air time. Make it a little bit longer too, when I am skipping through ads it makes your total show about 6-8 minutes most of the time... Kind of a waste of time.
Insightful and helpful. Figure it out for yourself
Poll Questions are binary in a gray world. Michael claims to be middle, but his poll questions are binary with only 2 choices. I also find him self centered and self promoting more so than enlightening. Often he name drops gratuitously when telling a story. His show on POTUS is a feeder for his podcast and CNN. Count the number of times he says “I or ME” next time you listen.
