“I’ve been a listener since the start. While I understand Eliana’s background and how it shapes her perspective (she is quick to criticize mainstream liberal bias), she has developed massive blind spots about Trump. In the latest episode, she gave a VERY charitable account of Trump’s DJ Town Hall...”Read full review »

“On the CBS News/Ta-Nehisi Coats interview…..
Word is that the young fragile journalist in the CBS Newsroom needed to go to the “Crying Room” due to the “Trauma” they witnessed in that interview. LOL
And this is the future? Lordy, we in some troubleeeeee…… smh”

“Chris’s dislike of Trump shades the credibility of the podcast. Trump is a lot of things but economically illiterate he is not. We had the best economy under Trump but Chris’s dislike of Trump keeps him from being intellectually honest about Trump. Unfortunately, it destroys the credibility of...”Read full review »

“These are media critics explaining the righteousness of Vance & co making up a story to push a (read:their) agenda. I didn’t know you could do that, but one of the hosts works for the Banal bee. Credibility flushed
PS: I’d bet good $ Scientific American has way more prestige than Ink Stained...”Read full review »

“I tried to listen because of the respect I have for Eliana. Her partner brings her down and it seems like she gets to a point where she just gives up when it comes to correcting him or when he constantly interrupts her. Either that or some of her comments are cut during editing. Either way, I’m...”Read full review »

“I am so tired of Chris butting in on Eliana and then just droning on and on. He takes entirely too long to make a point. He loves to hear himself talk and I can’t stand it any longer. Bye bye wretches.”

“I enjoy this podcast and respect Christine Rosen. What I did not appreciate here was the sneering at “Regime Media.” News flash: it exists. Quoting Dan Bongino is like quoting AOC for the Leftists. So obvious it’s not worth saying. Also a fan of NR and ok with their take on Trump.”

“Eliana is concise and insightful and smart. She is fun to listen to regardless of the topic from how to find great designer purse knock-offs to politics. Chris is so very long winded, on and on he goes. I often fast forward when he starts talking because what he has to say could be said in a...”Read full review »

“Show should be called Ink Stained Wretch because Eliana cannot get a word in. As well, the hatred that Chris has for Republicans, Conservatives, Fox News and Trump and his followers is just ridiculous. A once good podcast……..”

“Eliana is informative and honest with her critiques. However, Chris is so biased against Trump that it affects all his media analyses. I believe this is called Trump derangement syndrome. I, like many others, do not like everything about Trump, but I can look at his policies and actions in an...”Read full review »

“Chris Stirewalt is a Jonah Goldberg pusillanimous never-Trumper. I am not a fan of Trump, but I like honesty and Stirewalt has become as un-American as Goldberg. On a lighter note, his projecting that middle-aged men should not wear dungarees is because he grew up wearing husky size, which...”Read full review »

Chris derailed the conversation and discussed Trump’s indiscretions. Bench your disdain for Trump long enough to...”Read full review »

“Came here for Eliana after enjoying her takes on another pod. She is fair, funny and deserves 5 stars. I used to appreciate Chris’ approach but he just can’t overcome his TDS and is tedious. Even non MAGAs can find objective views on the current situation. Hoping Eliana can continue to team up...”Read full review »

“Eliana, I like you. I always enjoy you on Megyn Kelly’s show. Chris, I’ve tried to like you but after listening to this latest show, I think I’m done. You have TDS, sir. Just admit it and move on. I used to think you were objective and fair but you are not — at least not when it comes to Trump....”Read full review »

“50% insightful and interesting, 50% inane and facile. I was ok with that balance for a while but given their whole schtick is pointing out the bias in other media, I just can’t take their hypocrisy anymore.”

“I expected to be annoyed by the Jonah Goldberg interview, but I was not. It was an excellent podcast episode. It’s not that I’m a Trump supporter. I don’t really care about Trump (and I agree with a lot of the criticism) and I don’t care at all about Fox News (no tv consumption here for decades)....”Read full review »

“This show is excellent but could be vastly improved if Chris stopped interrupting Eliana. Chris’s interruptions are especially annoying during segments where each host is supposed to present a story. When it’s Eliana’s turn, let it be Eliana’s turn. Frequently, Eliana says 2 words before Chris...”Read full review »

“The Wretches are “big fans” of journalists who publish factually incorrect stories, so long as those journalists are their friends. That’s behavior they mock in others, but are not self-aware enough to recognize in themselves.”
