Customer Reviews
Generally Balanced News
I appreciate his more balanced approach to news.
I don’t always like what I hear or agree with it and that is a good thing.
What I do like is that I am thinking and learning more.
P.S. Sick of this Trump trial coverage please talk about it less. There must be plenty of other stories to cover. The coverage level is almost as gross as the trial.
Shows drop way too late now
Most of the shows through “The Source” would post about an hour after airing. Now you get a dump of Jake, Wolf, and Erin at 10pm which is way too late. The rest of the evening shows don’t post until 4am. MSNBC is able to put theirs up right away, even the late shows. Do better
Fox News
Jake Tapper should be hosting on Fox News. Sorry Jake, some of us want to keep our freedom and democracy. Please share with your colleagues that pointing out over and over again President Biden’s debate issues is not productive it is a huge distraction from the reality of what we will be getting if MAGA pulls this off, you never hear Fox News putting out Trump trash. This should not be tabloid news.
