Is it biased though?

“I’ve listened to a lot of political podcasts from all sides. A. Lot. I’m registered Independent, and I do lean Left on many policies. But I like to hear from everyone. How else do we understand where people are coming from, right? And after skimming through negative comments, seeing so many low ratings stating this show is Leftist or Left-biased, I argue: Is it Leftist or could said upset listeners be so deep in Right media that anything that doesn’t resemble such seems Leftist?
I’ll leave [further] opinion out of that argument, but I will say that I enjoy listening to Checks and Balances more than most political podcasts. They go deeper and provide history to back up information, and I appreciate that effort (even though I’ll still research on my own for most topics).
Sure, maybe the contributors are Left-leaning, but I don’t pick that up without having heard a couple episodes where one of them will pause and clarify that they want to remain neutral and work to strip bias from the words that come out of their mouths. I find this highly admirable.
So, I’d say it’s a safe bet that if you listen to FoxNews or Breitbart or any [Far] Right media outlets as go-to sources for information, anything neutral is going to upset you or maybe even entice you to label it “Leftist.” If not, give this show a chance. They pack more in than many shows, and the contributors do try to remain balanced and thoughtful. I recommend it.”

“Charlotte Howard’s bigoted comments regarding High School prepared Americans—over 60% of the population—renders this podcast undeserving of your time. At least until she apologises for her comments, which she has, thus far, failed to do.”

“This podcast is pure joy. It’s informative, sharp, funny and manages to cover so many aspects of the American political and cultural systems without ever losing focus on the upcoming election. The stand out highlight of my week.”
