A meaningful, worthwhile, and essential news podcast
Bob Scheer is a journalistic legend, treasure, and rarity — he speaks plainly and directly, asks questions that listeners and readers want answered, and asks them of guests with relevant and timely knowledge and expertise. Every discussion on Scheer Intelligence is substantially (really, by light years) more informative and compelling than consuming hundreds upon hundreds of hours of the highly propagandistic slop served to us by the so-called mainstream or legacy media. We need many many more people like Bob Scheer, Caitlin Johnstone, Chris Hedges, Max Blumenthal, and far fewer of the lackeys of power who use near-limitless resources and access to daily launder the many lies upon which this fascistic empire is built to the beleaguered American people. There will be no progress and no change until our eyes are opened, and programs like Scheer Intelligence cast so much light that many eyes cannot help but open. Thanks Bob and team for a great and essential program, and for all your contributions to the truth over a distinguished career.
Great Pod!!
