United States21 days ago - Welcome to the Murdoch empire
This show is owned by the Murdoch empire, interesting as it is so far left. I’m assuming it’s kept running because of the $$$, but perhaps its subpar journalism serves another purpose: undermining the credibility of left-wing ideology. In that sense, it might be serving its overlords rather nicely. Peace out ✌️

Been listening for years. Quality work. Just wanted to say thanks and keep it up! Oh and I love all of the sound effects and jingles. Don’t change a thing!
Apple Podcasts5chuckytuUnited Statesa month ago - Ignoring October 7th
These world class journalists chose to report on violence in the West Bank against Palestinians on October 7th. Their antisemitism knows no bounds. They have 364 days of the year to talk about violence against Palestinians, but would rather forget October 7th because it’s inconvenient to their narrative.
Perhaps they should consider a doing a biopic of osama bin Laden on 9/11, or a piece on adolf hitler’s art on holocaust Remembrance Day.
We’ve come full circle. Those accusing others of white... more
