Split Swamp Notes into its own

10 de set.

capn ch

Swamp Notes would be better off as its own podcast, essentially a US Political Fix, rather than be nested in News Briefing. News Briefing is ephemeral and daily. If you miss a day you likely won’t go back and will just pick up tomorrow. Swamp Notes, being weekly, one might not listen to on the exact day it came out. The way one can organize podcasts to auto-delete to reduce clutter makes this somewhat incompatible and it would be solved by simply not being a podcast-within-a-podcast.

This wasn’t a news briefing, it was an opposition party critique/opinion piece. Opinion columns are not news.
Hard left political views drown out good reporting

28 de nov.

I used to like this podcast a lot for decent news coverage and its relatively global (not just US) focus. But the hard left politics of the reporters is getting too much to bear and drowning out the real news. Some recent examples: 1) Explaining the 2024 election Trump rally in the equity market, the reporter dismissed it, saying that markets always tend to go up after the election! (patently false) 2) Explaining the 2024 election rally in the US dollar, the reporter said it’s because Trump will create inflation and that’s somehow good for the currency! (Makes zero economic sense -- also ever looked at the currencies of Argentina and Turkey?) 3) “Republicans do politics, Democrats do policy.” Really, FT? 4) Whenever Trump was doing well in the polls, FT started lamenting how that is somehow a crisis of democracy. (imagine that — voters might actually choose wrong and not vote for FT’s preferred woke & socialist politicians) Also the reporters’ blind climate religion is everywhere: constant reminders how no one is making enough sacrifices today toward (ineffective) climate goals etc. (if you want to be smart about climate change, read e.g. Bjorn Lomborg’s books) I know FT has some good basic reporting skills, or at least used to have. Can we please just get the news without your political opinions?
