Thanks for an excellent podcast episode about the Joe Roagan news story. It was balanced and sensible. Keep it coming!
your bias shows and you’re not as subtle as you think

i love this podcast and regularly look out for it. unfortunately i’m compelled to point out that the way you’ve been reporting two presidential candidates is far from neutral or unbiased. even the reporters interviewed camouflage rather disparaging and unbecoming adjectives when it comes to one candidate and then gushing praise when it comes to the other candidate as individuals, of course you are wholly entitled to be partial and have preferences. but allow me to remind you that you are a news source, and despite mainstream media being on its last breath, you guys still have best practices and journalistic ethics to uphold. do better!

The Today in Focus on Harry and Meghan’s interview was hopeless biased. Anushka used the term absurd multiple times to describe the interview, and her pro-monarchy attitude was clear. There’s are almost zero comparisons between H&M’s treatment and those of other members of the royal family. The fact that Harry is in his 30s and dependent on the monarchy seems laughable despite her knowing that a life of public service hardly enables you to rake in personal incomes, which they can now do as non working royals. I do not care very much for Harry and Meghan, but it was clear that this was not a balanced episode. Disappointed in the disingenuous, ridiculous interview.
