Customer Reviews
For the comment about the host being Indian
She’s not hard to understand.
Trying to put a bad spin on anything pro-American or conservative & good
It’s difficult to understand all that is said by the leftist woman co-boast who is foreign (India). Why is she paid by Npr or WFPL, whatever to broadcast from such am important position representing ng the capital of Ky.? On my left hand I kind of like listening just to hear more since no one else covers Ky other than you. Oh, yes maybe the C-J still ? in a similar Pravda fashion. It’s really woke just like the rest of your garbage Facts are not real or actual facts, background all censored - reason being - simply an uneducated audience which likes the tone of college deans & many professors talking down classic institutions of good. As far as the politics goes, it’s a joke. The pandemic (aka natural occurring batt virus) caused the fentanyl drug ODs in US. A true crime. Don’t mention boarders or law enforcement. Just make it about race & more handouts of the failure of Harris /Biden regime, or forget to mention them now the rest. How’s Lou. doing downtown? Fischer is so right, need to make a big statue of him in front of Library, DuPont Manual / UofL, Cherokee Park, king Louie, BLM shrines I learned that the steady decade GOP rise in Ky. is a bad thing. Southern / Jefferson Democrat is almost non-existent in a totalitarian socialist Democrat Central Controlled Gov’t run by Wardo, Anchorage, Jefferson Co.
Pretty much worthless
Just deals with a more narrow perspective of politics covered by national news. Unfortunately it doesn’t even do that very well from a Kentucky perspective. Why not cover actual issues in Frankfort and give multiple perspectives rather than just rehash on McConells senate bills? Or if you’re going to cover mcConnel at least show a perspective unique to Kentucky and not the same national impact which is well documented by other sources? Unsubscribe
