How the Mighty Have Fallen
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.

I enjoy the wide range of topics covered on the show. My only feedback is a preference for coverage without spin from political consultants. Facts and what they may or may not mean is much needed, especially when navigating around the pandemic.

Bill Nigut and Political Rewind set the standard for how political discussions should take place. It has always been intelligent and even handed. Apparently Bill’s refusal to allow conspiracy theorists and purveyors of disinformation on the show was its undoing. GA’s GOP wouldn’t allow the show...Read full review »
