I typically love listening to this podcast. However it sounds like the reporting is becoming more biased. For example, they reported a shooting in Portland. The reporting by the WSJ lead with it being a traffic stop, and comments from Portland’s mayor about the current administration’s use of force being too aggressive. Why isn’t the WSJ leading with the fact that the two drivers tried to ram the police officers with the vehicle? That’s directly putting a police officers life in danger. It turns... more
The commentary about changes in public health policy with the Trump’s administration is so biased. Sabrina Sidiqui is a committed lefty that shows it very much in all her commentary and analysis (or lack thereof).

Otherwise, WSJ is going down the path the NY Times and Washington Post, fueled by the rage of Trump’s haters.
We have been listening past couple years and so glad to hear Luke Vargas voice again!
At last a discussion on the actual costs of green energy.

Love the WSJ reporting, Im a paying online subscriber and daily podcast listener. Im also a broadcast journalist. The host tone and cadence is robotic and each sentence sounds the same with no interpretation of the copy. The tone at beginning of the sentence goes up, there a pause and then the ends of the sentence has a halting downward tone. Just compare the host delivery to any sound byte and you hear the stark difference.
