UNBIASED Politics

This podcast is so good! Truly unbiased and easy to understand. I’m learning more about how our court systems work than I ever did in school - and I have a Master’s degree! Great work Jordan. I have literally been telling everyone to listen.

I used to really appreciate this podcast because it felt genuinely balanced and focused on breaking down complex political topics in a clear and fair way. But over the past year, the tone has noticeably shifted. What concerns me is less which way the content now leans, and more how the framing has become uneven. There is consistently far more context added to explain and normalize right-leaning viewpoints, while left-leaning perspectives are presented with much less background or nuance. This creates a clear asymmetry, even if unintended. What makes this more troubling is that Jordan continues to brand herself as “unbiased,” and criticism is often dismissed with the idea that people only feel it’s biased if they lean too far to one side. For me, this isn’t about my personal politics, it’s about ethical transparency. Every creator has a bias, and that’s okay, but it should be acknowledged. Saying “I’m unbiased” while selectively providing context for one side and not the other is misleading, whether intentional or not.

I absolutely love this podcast! I found her during the election and have been looking forward to my daily walks ever since! Understand that she is doing 2 days a week now and I will take what she can give! Any chance I have to share with a family member or friend, I do. Last week my mom and I had an hour drive and I put on the latest episode. At the end my mom said WOW she really breaks things down and makes it easy to understand! My dad has also become a fan after trapping him in the car for an episode. I love that she doesn’t seem to be pushing an agenda, we don’t know what her political beliefs are, she tells both sides and encourages the listeners to consider the “other side” during her critical thinking segment. It’s not a doom and gloom newscast, it’s a here is what happened this week and why or why not it may or may not be legal based on written law and not her opinion. This is a news driven podcaster that gets it!!

I love the Critical Thinking segment Jordan does. While reading a book on moral psychology, my eyes were opened to the differences between the moral values of Republicans and Democrats, each believing that their side is the just side. What they have in common is the inability (or lack of want) to really consider and find evidence to support the other side’s claims, instead relying on confirmation bias to find evidence to what they already believe. Pursuing the truth and understanding requires building arguments for the other side, and that is what Jordan asks of us in the Critical Thinking segment. Thank you, Jordan, for making us better humans!
