“Thanks for chopping the pod so we can just get this segment (clearly the best of the larger show).”

“Really really disappointed Jonathan 12.29.23. Really really BUMMED on it. Poor form in terms of style, delivery, and content.
Had to say something. Normally engaged. Not tonight. Poor.”

“I know this is the opinion segment of PBS Newshour but Capehart totes the progressive line on literally every issue. You know what he’s going to say on every topic before he even says it, so it’s not interesting at all. Shields and Brooks had a much more unique and thoughtful analysis on topics...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast but there are too many weeks when it never gets delivered. I’ll adjust the rating to 5 stars when they get this figured out.”

“Jonathon is soooo opinionated/angsty at times. Not that he doesn’t ever say anything true, but he’s way too overt in his biases. Tone it back plzzz 🫶🏻”

“Capehart is a fantastic writer but his genuineness doesn’t shine through on air. Same observation when he hosts on MSNBC. I don’t know if he’s a bit anxious but it’s hard to miss when he was opposite Brooks (bc brooks is very genuine and comfortable in his own skin). There was no sense of...”Read full review »

“I have listened every week for years. The joyful banter seems to be getting lost by having only liberal & moderate voices. Where is the conservative? Maybe represent more citizen’s voices?”

“David Brooks has a great mind and the ability to add insight into todays crazy world. Capehart is no intellectual and certainty not in the same league as Brooks. It’s a waste to listen to Capehart’s simplistic regurgitation of CNN’s viewpoint on everything.”

“The exchanges between Shields and Brooks used to be the best part of my week. Now, Capehart is unlistenable and Brooks seems like he’s trying to out flank him from the left. PBS has zero diversity of opinion. I can’t believe our taxes pay for this garbage. Prime example: in the immediate wake of...”Read full review »

“I have been a listener from the beginning and always appreciate the shared perspectives on the week’s biggest political stories. And Capeheart is an excellent choice for the newest commentator. That said, it’s frustrating when The Newshour neglects to upload episodes. Nothing since March?!”

“More often than not, Brooks and Capehart end up agreeing substantively on just about every issue discussed making for boring and not terribly sharp commentary. Given Brooks’ leftward drift over the last five years or so, I think it would be valuable to rotate the panel or to have someone more...”Read full review »

“The professional and friendly exchange between Brooks and Shields was the best in the bizz. No yelling, no insulting, no berating. Simply the best. We will miss you Mark.

“OK, they are admittedly big shoes but I could have lived with any other of Mark’s stand-ins. Capehart is OK but I looked forward to Mark & David every week. Now I almost don’t care. I read David in the Times. Likely The Newshour will likely cease to hold me. It’s been deteriorating for quite...”Read full review »

“Mr. Shields will be missed. His years of experience, his connection to an idealistic past are irreplaceable. I felt his anguish, indignation and disappointment these past four years and it saddened me for the state of our country and politics. But I remain hopeful because of Mr. Shields idealism.”

“There appears to be only one side to any story. No mention of the many wrong deeds committed by Democrats. Republicans are not rioting, sleeping with the Chinese or defunding the police. Please be more objective in your reporting and commentary.”

“Program needs to put the date of each episode ABOVE THE SUMMERY. Now I must begin running g the episode to discover its broadcast date. Which is a waste of my time, if I’m trying to catch up.
Invite Diane Rheem one day, for assessment of events.
Otherwise, you would have gotten a 5 STAR.”

“To correct Ms Woodruff’s statement that was echoed by Mr Brooks - Trump’s proposed date of June 19th (Juneteenth) for a rally was NOT the anniversary date of the race massacre in Tulsa, OK. That date was May 31 - June 1,1921. Juneteenth is the date for festivals in celebration of the...”Read full review »

“Dull does not begin to describe the opinions of these two geezers, sideline pundits who never participated on the field of battle. The only thing more boring would be to have Joe Biden join the cast. If you’re having trouble sleeping this is the show to listen to for instant slumber.”

“These two are both out of touch with reality and do nothing more than recite talking-points of the two establishment parties. Brooks: ‘...the US presence in Syria was a beacon of stability..’ - what a joke. Any one who spends time in this part of the world knows how absolutely untrue this is. ...”Read full review »
