Customer Reviews
The day after the Buffalo tops shootings
Love the show. Crazy how the episode school colors came out today the day after the Buffalo tops market shootings. I’ve lived in Rochester ny my w tire life and I see the issues still. Worse in some areas since the trump days. NY needs reform in our school systems, prisons systems and buries/countries and all schools. Every human deserves to be treated equally and NY isn’t headed in a good direction. Humans learn behavior when it’s not a mental illness and even then peoples environments make who we are at the core. Thank you for helping being the stories and making listeners more aware and awake to the human condition. We need more love and kindness everywhere. #prochoice #blacklivesmatter #spreadkindness. #peacenotwar
Looking for slanted news? Find it here.
Obviously slanted news, also has only been reporting on the war in Ukraine. I would like to here your perspective on all the news.
Generally good info but biased
I try to listen to all spectrum of political podcasts from nytimes to daily wire. Npr has a clear bias to the left in their framing and story collection. While they do put out good and interesting reporting I wish they would just report the facts with less embellishments.
