- Leftist bias
The leftist bias is quite obvious in many places if you are a critical thinker. That makes the whole program more amateurish. Also didn’t make it clear in the 9-11 episodes that radical islamists believe Americans need to NOT because we’re “imperialists” or anything we’ve done in response to the war on Islamist terror, but because it’s baked into their religion. They also want Muslims who don’t follow their radical Islam dead too. And of course all Jews.
