Restates establishment narratives

“Listen to Electronic Intifada or Max Blumenthal/GrayZone instead. Those people are skilled researchers, have informed guests and can hold the line amidst pressure to assume a narrative during a lack of evidence. I'm not liberal or moderate unlike many commenters here. However, if you are, you'll actually enjoy my left news suggestions because they are highly principled and factual.
I had to stop listening to this podcast after the October 9th 2023 episode from Robert where he repeated unsubstantiated propaganda about rape which "Israel" wielded to create psychological acceptance for its live-streamed genocide against Palestinians. (My podcast recommendations show why these claims are unsupported Zionist propaganda and how "Israel" doesn't allow independent investigators in to verify its "irrefutable evidence". You will also see that "liberal Israeli" news outlets like Haaretz, after months of claiming these reporters are lying, eventually corroborate their factual reporting.)
It churned my stomach to listen to Robert's report and made me realize how this podcast supports establishment narratives in many ways. This podcast gives lip service to nebulous "leftist" sentiment, but ends up tearing into many organized groups that posed a real challenge to (US/European) global imperialism and a benefit to their people. It will often equate the main dealers of harm with those organizing to get out from under the boot which is inexcusable.
I have appreciation for this podcast for making me yell "f you" to liberalism and all of its contradictions. That said, I can't recommend it for people who want to learn, and help build/protect revolutionary groups that are working to remove the violence of US/European global dominance and build self-determined societies.”Read full review »

“Probably the best hypothetical I’ve ever heard. Equal parts of interesting and un-nerving.”
