On the Media

I’ve listened to it for years. It is more important now then ever. I learn so much and I love how it is balanced and fresh. High marks! Thanks for all you do. From New Hampshire

Stunned, horrified, terrified, hopeless, disbelieving, etc. We must, must, leave our liberal bubble, understand that we don’t understand the country we really live, engage, investigate, be genuinely curious about the people who voted for Trump et al. The tragic fact is that those who want to deport every immigrant and buy cheaper eggs don't understand that tariffs and deporting essential workers will INCREASE the price of eggs and everything else. We talk about “toxic masculinity” but men who voted for trump feel emasculated by women having rights, a higher rates of college education, careers, financial independence. If we don’t leave our own media bubble, we don’t stand a chance of restoring everything we value. We MUST resist and we MUST be willing to study and implement the other side’s tactics.

20 years ago, one of my go to radio programs. Biased, but there was depth. Anyway, I gave up on them a long time ago when they gave up on ethics. But now they’re just so fragile. I listened to some of the post election shows. The hand wringing, long sighs, a little crying I think. When did these hard nosed journalists become such snowflakes. And fragility aside, how can they be so incapable of seeing republicans as anything but easily manipulated morons or pure devils. But, maybe the worst is how they can simply not report the facts correctly; this is journalism 101. Or more likely, I’m naive. I suspect they know how complex the issues are but realize it doesn’t help their team to report them. So, they’re just Breitbart for the left.

I didn’t realize I was not contributing to this podcast, but now I will find a way to do just that. An incredible team with clarity, a lack of chaotic dramatization, well rounded, and down to earth. Thank you to the team!
