Welcome to the Elite Leftist Echo Chamber
The guests on Monocle's panels display a wide range of political views... from Very Left to Very, Very Left. These folks are the epitome of those urban, elitist snobs who live in well-heeled jet-set bubbles that are always stocked with 500-thread count organic cotton fair tread sheets and a rather nice small-producer eco-friendly Malbec. So they just can't wait to see how the migrant waves will change the pedestrian thinking of the backwards masses in Europe, and of course a continuation of the amazing policies of Barack Obama (he's been a smashing success!) is just what America needs. Ugh. Nobody on this show ever does anything; they're all just professors in various identity "studies" departments or at left-wing think tanks or writers for publications no one reads. Occasionally there's a topic where they don't spout complete drivel, but this is almost always the sort of echo chamber nonsense that people whose only contact with the real world is through the windows of an Uber Prius on the way from JFK to their trendy loft in Red Hook spout over locally produced IPAs that cost $12 each.Read full review »

As other reviewers, I preferred the hour-long segment. At two hours , the pace & curation quality suffers; the interviews...Read full review »
