Customer Reviews
Thank you for your efforts
I began listening about a year ago because I was eager to hear a variety of opinions. I’ve always been “in the middle” leaning liberal. I especially appreciate that Michael is not afraid of tough subjects or controversial figures. Also Michael is respectful of every caller regardless of their views.
😁
I will not agree with you all the time. Thank you to TC and your entire team.
Please take personal accountability for being canceled
I have followed you for over 20 years and I believe your a good honest man but I also believe you have no courage or you feel the need to be loved by everyone, it muffles your voice. You’ve never in the past had a problem with calling out the far right, you do it with passion as you should. But over the last 10-15 years as the far left has grown from the far left to the main stream of the Democratic Party you walk on the issues that pop up like egg shells. Again, I like and admire but you and the Main Street media have not taken a stance at all about so many things out of control. If you being cancelled is not proof enough then I don’t know what is. Stop implying how you feel about medical altering drugs/ surgeries to minors and speak up for what’s right. I could give you 5 other examples where you try to explain things from the “middle” when there is no middle. You are culpable for much of the madness happening today because of your silence over the last decade.
