Well done and a note for the complainers …

Don’t listen to the naysayers . The podcast is really good . It’s amusing that folks so obsessed with “democracy” immediately tar and feather those that don’t share their world view— all because you had a guest on they don’t like . Don’t be controlled by these folks. These hypocrites label anyone with a different opinion as a threat these days . Regular folks aren’t falling for it anymore . The folks upset are literally terminally online that they think “democracy is at stake” when it’s really just a scare tactic by national dems to keep them in line . Rubes . Keep up the great work!!!

Last Two Episodes Made Seriously Questionable Journalistic Choices

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who lost all interest after learning they interviewed Cully Stimson from The Heritage Foundation (who is more than happy to introduce himself with that). I already felt uncomfortable with the previous episode’s interviewee, Howard Blum, who felt compelled to write a novel about a case that hasn’t even been to trial yet. Not only is it ethically dubious for a journalist to treat the accused as though they’ve been convicted, it’s clear he doesn’t see the victims as real people. He then questions why the victim’s family would be upset by this after explaining his book is going to be made into a TV show as well. What’s worse is the interviewer makes no effort to question anyone they interview, they simply nod along in awe at speculative claims and hearsay. I was willing to look past all of this as I enjoyed the majority of this series, but interviewing Stimson made lose all interest and respect. I hope they do better.
