“I’ve listened since the LP days and I appreciate there are always a wide range of voices and generally, Ron is a good moderator. I’ve tried to post a review on this before but it appears it was not posted. In this weeks episode, I appreciated Hagar’s willingness to shift her position on Israel/Hamas and acknowledge that it is no longer humane to have unwavering support. You could tell Ron was forcing himself not to interrupt. Between this and his comments about ‘jihad’ from a couple weeks ago (that another guest had to ask him to walk back), he’s clearly biased and phobic. I really want to stick with this podcast, it brings so much value to our collective political understanding but I want a moderator who understands how to restrain his own bias.
Adding…
Ron has lost all sense of moderation. Calling Harris’ explanation of equity, communism. And referring to her reconsideration of positions on the border, “flip flopping”. He is also asking for his guests opinions and then proceeds to give his own before they can even answer!”
