Overall great
Very informative and the hosts do a good job of outlining the news and facts of the day. They do frequently fall into the trap of “both sides” far too often though. It’s a legacy media outlook they can’t seem to shake. Ex: In the most recent episode about Taylor Swift conspiracy theories coming out of the right wing grifter sphere, you can practically hear the hosts twisting themselves into pretzels to imply conspiracy mongering is something both parties engage in equally. The left may fall prey to disinformation but there isn’t a left wing Qanon. Tough to truly call this podcast outstanding when the reporting serves to minimize issues facing democracy in order to maintain the fantasy of two parties operating in good faith.
