Misanthropic ex Motelier
The best current affairs show availale from the USA. Obviously left leaning and sometimes repetitive in its claims, it nevertheless redeems itself by having excellent guests who provide information and a perspective not provided by the mainstream media. The segments are of sufficient length to provide depth but not so long to become repetitive. Ian Masters obviously has an affinity for some of his guests and it shows. Interviewees are more forthcoming and he gives them plenty of space to have their say. Not bad for a former Australian! (Reviewer lives in NZ)
