The Ezra Klein Show

Fox News plays a big role in what voters believe. You never mention Fox’s influence or misinformation. Yet you evaluate Dems and how voters view them. Newt Gingrich made voters hate them. How should democrats fight this?

So grateful for this podcast - it always opens my eyes to some new perspective. I’m often surprised at the folks he’ll bring on, or positions he’ll take, which challenge some of my political views.

You rely too heavily on the word “think,” to the point that it weakens your arguments. My advice: be more assertive and focus on what’s evident. There’s nothing wrong with thinking, but you often get lost in the realm of possibilities. That said, thanks for your show—it offers a lot of value.

You can tell from the mix of (right) partisan fury and (left) discomfort in the reviews that this is a great show. Ezra’s thinking is clear and helpful. He is on the left, but he is self-aware and navigates accordingly. This has been one of the few pods I can rely on over the past months to challenge my thinking and push me forward. Thank you for all that you do.
