My go-to podcast for objectivity and news not covered elsewhere
Good for an international perspective but

Apr 15

ohhhhhdanny

If you’re an American wanting an international POV this gives you a good eye dropper of global news but their coverage of the conflict in Gaza is wildly skewed. They just referred to Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria as an alleged attack when Israel has claimed ownership and regularly under report the number of deaths in Gaza compared to every other major news source.
No objectivity
