Customer Reviews
Was promising, has gradually descended…
Really love the show, it had always felt unbiased, straight news and perspective. More and more nearly every point is not so opaquely colored by pre loaded, passionate opinion. Still good, just wish the personal opinion/agenda wouldnt color the reporting as much as increasingly has.
Used to be worth listening to
I used to love this podcast. I particularly enjoyed listening to Krystal analyze a broad variety of issues from a perspective not covered elsewhere.
The show is now just Krystal repetitively ranting and raving over her single passion, shouting over others to prevent expression of any facts or viewpoints that challenge her emotions, conflating points in every other breath, lying about basic facts, badgering anyone who doesn’t share her passion, unable to express a rational or crisp defense of her obsession. Krystal is starting to sound like Rachel Maddow on MSNBC (cringe).
Every now and then Saagar manages to bring up some interesting bit of historical context before he gets shouted down, or interview someone rational and interesting without Krystal around to ruin it.
I am reconsidering the validity of the prior points Krystal had me considering…she is clearly incapable of honest reporting or objective reasoning. To be fair, her obsession has some merit, but her emotional take-no-prisoners approach distracts from her position. It has been sad to watch her disintegrate. Hope the show can right itself.
No Longer News Show
Since the Israel-Palestine conflict this show is no longer news, it’s a debate show. A debate show where only one viewpoint is articulated. Krystal has lost the ability to see nuance and simply now uses the show as a platform to share her strong anti-Israel views.
You know those annoying friends of yours that you don’t even have to ask their opinion about an issue because you already know how they are going to respond since it’s always from one side? That’s what listening to Krystal is like. And Saagar does nothing to counterbalance this.
I already chose not to watch/listen to shows that try to brainwash you with talking points from only one side. Put this show in the discarded pile with CNN and Fox News. Unfollow.
