Great analysis of the week’s news and its coverage. By the most passionate group of journalists around.
Opinions?

Just heard your latest episode where you grouped all of the Punjab farmers as hooligans and stated that they can’t have civilized protests as some people from the South. How about you try to inform the public about why there are protests happening rather than influencing other people’s views in a highly negative way? Shame.
Sane Indian news

I became politically aware when I came to the US and trump happened. One thing that helped me become interested in politics was the amazing number of podcasts about American politics that were produced. I am glad to see something similar from an Indian news source. I can’t wait to see more such podcasts come up.
Pointless bickering

NL spends lot of time criticizing other publications and media houses. I find their reporting void of depth lacking in objectivity. They seem emotinal and have a lot of preconceived notions. They need to bring up their game, stop bickering and produce content that brings out all the nuances, be original, else what is so different about NL?
