Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Perfect dose of news, helps me stay current and updated, short and precise, top headlines, great reporting!!!
Could be 5 Stars if you stop pandering to Gen Z
I implore you to never use Shelby Holiday or feature nonsense stories like “the inequality of pandemic riches.” WSJ is the last man standing in a sea of silly J-school non-reporting, please hold the line and stick to your high standards.
Elon
Bad reporting on Elon and how he’s anti Jew. Intellectually dishonest.
