Great News Summary
This is a great way to hear the top
news stories.
Biased News source
Have been listen this poedcast for 5 years now, and i know its not a unbiased News source, but his covarage of any News of Israel and Palestine has been so bad, recently a US airforce airman inmolate infront of a Israel embassy in protest of Palestine genocide, and they dont cover it, is that not a national headline???. I’m not listening to this podcast anymore, recomendó independent News source as Democracy Now! and listen serval others that are independent
Nice way to start your day
