Customer Reviews
Trump-a-mania at the RNC
I would believe that there’s a typo in heading … ‘Trump-a-maniac at the RNC’ may seem more accurate. Oh and please mind myself, was that convention about a country?? One more thing, I’m just curious, the famed waitress that accepted his tip for “taxed tips”… was she a double ’D’??… jussayin..
And those so-called Democrats ‘elite’ that are in request for him to step aside, are merely Republicans in disguise! Them along with the “Mainstream Media “ are solely responsible and relentless in President Bidens request to not proceed. Thankfully they are ignored and his (voters) people has MORE AND MEANINGFUL SAY to the matter. Excellent reporting, and thanks! This is only my opinion.

Chasing the hype
Don’t expect deep analytical storytelling. More like chasing a hot topic and adding fluff. Can be tone deaf.
Provides no balance of opinions - NYT Dupe
Update: This show still focus on left wing democrat issues. No change. It’s only gotten worse.
I use to religiously listen to Today Explained because they provided a balance of opinions. but around Jan 2023 the show made a very clear and huge shift. The show is pretty much repeating NYT Daily. Yet again a news source that provides only a Democratic Party side view of things, no middle middle ground, and absolutely no Republican Party views, even slightly.
