Extremely biased podcast

“Avoid this podcast if you are interested in objectivity. The host of the podcast is blatantly biased and non-objective in presenting stories and asking (leading) questions of the interviewees. She consistently presents only left wing, progressive talking points. This would be fine if Axios didn’t position itself as an objective news service, but it does - the Axios Manifesto itself states it will never be a platform for incitement or argument. With Axios Today and its current host, they absolutely fail in this regard.
This is a shame because the Axios newsletters, of which I subscribe to many, are far less biased. Axios presents a mostly left wing perspective to be sure, but most newsletter authors (although not all) are fair, generally speaking. Axios Today has also gotten worse over time with its progressive slant. For those that don’t believe Axios is a left-leaning outlet, I remind you that investors in Axios include NBC and the owners of Atlantic Media, just to name two. Axios reporters also appear regularly on CNN and MSNBC.
Therefore, after over a year of listening, I am unsubscribing until they find a new host that presents the news in a fair, objective, and (mostly) non-partisan manner. Hopefully this is done sooner rather than later. I get the sense the podcast is not doing well as literally every newsletter I have read on the app lately has ads for Axios Today embedded within them.
Finally, I suggest to Axios that if you want to be taken seriously when it comes to talking/writing about major companies (Amazon, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Facebook, and JP Morgan Chase, just to name a few), perhaps find other sources of ad revenue. You can say all you want that sponsorship has no influence on editorial content, but if you actually believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to you.”

“Update: I wanted to thank you for offering an article about another country (Hong Kong/China) on August 11th.
I would love to love this as much as I do its simple but useful concept. However, it’s a little stunning how US-centered it is. Wasn’t one forecasted result of Covid-19 an expanded...”Read full review »
