“4 years ago, I’d have given this show 5 stars without hesitation, but since then I’ve watched Bill Nigut go from being the last truly objective moderator in the media to just another “Orange-Man-Bad”-parroting talking head. Bill frames all of the topics in the same subtly partisan way NPR does, doing so in such a way that liberals can pat themselves on the back for listening to “objective” news, while even a centrist such as myself can hear the bias from a mile away. The discussions around Georgia’s heartbeat bill were the point where Nigut’s bias became so flagrant that I cancelled my monthly donation to the station. They are still generally respectful towards their token conservative guest; however, especially on the abortion issue, you could hear the masked disdain from the host if you have half a brain. I still listen, as the show still does better than anyone else in covering state and local politics, but every time I do, I am reminded of how far the mighty have fallen. I am so disappointed that such a respectful panel discussion show has lowered itself to being the civilized version of a CNN or Fox News panel discussion.”
