  • Typical CFR

    For CFR promoting the leftist Elite’s agenda is all that matters. Concern for freedom of the press only extends to the leftist liars.

  • More topics please!!!

    Love this podcast! It does cover what’s hot in the headlines now which can be a little tiring (and redundant) but a lot of episodes are topics that you really don’t hear much about but may be the underpinning factor(s) in current events.

  • Three Internets Episode is astoundingly bad

    I found it through the “webby awards”. It makes absolutely no mention of the USA surveillance state when discussing the “American internet”. more
