Lazy unresearched surface “reporting”

“If you want to hear waste of time stuff about the Beetles, some tennis player who doesn’t want a shot or uneducated opinions about law enforcement issues, this is your podcast. If you’re looking for well researched or thought out commentary on topical news and media practices, you may want to look elsewhere.
This podcast is basically 5 hits: one negative Trump comment (he’s gone dude!), a complement or excuse about something Biden did, something about January 6th, some fluff about sports or music and an over amplification of COVID risk based on number of cases (rather than deaths or hospitalizations). Oh, and lately there is bonus material about what a wonderful person the president of Ukraine is. Read past NYT articles about this guy and his government before the media decided to make a hero out of him. The media practices and motives for covering this war would be good Media Buzz topics.
Tired of suffering through what used to be, a good podcast and a Sunday show about MEDIA practices. Those were worth a listen/view. Now, with all the oversimplified “analysis” and lazy opinion sharing, I find Media Buzz a waste of time. Come on man, you think cops shouldn’t make traffic stops for expired registration because some idiot may get himself shot by resisting a lawful arrest…. Instead, you said they should send a letter to DMV? And, how do you ID the driver in that case? And, who would pay their registration if there were no consequences?
And Howie, you really can’t see the difference between supplying old Russian fighter jets and ground fired weapons to Ukraine? Even Biden understands the difference. Kirby has spelled this out several times already. Catch up.”

He made a comment a few episodes...”Read full review »

“I generally agree with the opinions expressed. But I think you all have underestimated the mind numbing fatigue your listeners already have regarding Harris and other Dems who expect to campaign on gender and racial issues. Enough!”

“Buzzmeter has become my “can’t miss, listen to it first” daily podcast. Howard Kurtz has a rational, balanced style and covers a wide range of topics in 22 minutes. Even better when co-hosts are on and I would love for it to be s bit longer. Good job, Mr.Kurtz, you’re right up there with Chris...”Read full review »
