What’s the objective?

A very professionally made podcast with interesting and knowledgeable guests. However, it seems that one of the objectives is not so much to expose fake news, but to ensure that the mainstream, liberal, narrative is adhered too. The problem nowadays is that there are many good independent podcasts out there that highlight the true facts of news, so when you do have guests like Christopher Steele on the show, many listeners are aware of the Trump Russia Hoax, which then rather undermines the credibility of the whole show. It’s worth a listen to though, as there are interesting snippets now and again.
