Very
Racist
Disappointed, I don’t mind the editorial but should present the facts also
I gave this podcast a couple weeks. Wanted to add another podcast to my morning listening but it’s just too editorialized and it purposely leaves out Facts. Take for instance the story today on book banning. I don’t mind anything she said it’s just a problem that she leaves out the part that the book was not banned and it was removed from a third grade classroom and put in a middle school setting, where they felt it more appropriate. Again OK with her facts about who is behind the bannings and I think that is news. I also think that reporting on what was actually deemed inappropriate for one group But still being taught in a liter class is far from banned. again, my issue is without knowing all of the facts you are distorting the whole picture and just making my mind up for me. I like your opinion I would just like the facts also. Good luck with your podcast, but it’s not for me. I like to make my own decisions and can tell when someone is leading.
