Format 5 Ifeoma 1

I love this format, but the word is ASK not axe. I find myself wanting to skip Ifeoma Dike’s episodes. It’s not just that word but so many inflections that are distracting.

Can’t stand CNN ANYMORE!

I love this podcast and used to have much respect for CNN but today I’m unsubscribing, won’t watch it on tv nor Youtube anymore. How can you bend over so much manipulating facts and justifying the indefensible JUST TO APPEAL to the Right Wing crowd. The true is the truth. It’s not Left or Right! I can’t stand it anymore and the last drop for me is this latest conversation about Project 2025 manipulating the facts and justifying the indefensible. Keep doing it. One day you’ll be forgotten.

PS: Stop the “Hello” and “That’s all for now” as if you’re talking to a happy crowd in a meeting instead of telling the news.
