    Special Edition: Campus Protests - Gaza, Grievances & Grey Areas

    We’ve been regularly covering key developments in the war in Gaza and the protests happening on college campuses here in the U.S. Today, we’re taking a closer look at what the protesters really want, and why the issue isn’t as black and white as it’s often made out to be.
    My guest is Isaac Saul, the founder of the independent, nonpartisan politics newsletter Tangle, which summarizes the best arguments from both the right and left on the big debates of the day. He also hosts the Tangle Podcast.

Morning ritual

I love this show like it says it’s fast fun to the point and keeps me up-to-date on the most important issues and just around 10 minutes

Balanced news - Finally!

I was so sick of listening to news that was biased. Erica Mandy is amazing. I start off every day listening to the podcast and I’m never disappointed. I’m a big fan!!!

Omission is a form of lying

Wow! That Israel/Iran segment on 4/15/24 is a disgrace. It’s real convenient how the “newsworthy” forgot to mention that Iran was responding to Israel bombing its embassy in Syria and killing people. This specific news story is going to act as my “tell” for any news organization that reports on this. If they report on the Iranian response but omit the backstory about Israel bombing the embassy then it’s a major red flag. The news organization can no longer be trusted because they are lying by omission.
I’m no fan of Iran but I won’t be manipulated and lied to.
Unfollowing.
