Not critical enough

“This podcast started out interesting and brought a lot of details to light I missed from the news. But it allowed a lot of conspiracy theories to be talked up and completely failed to approach the Russian side of things. Butina was accused of being a Russian spy and zero consideration was paid to Russia itself. The fact that the hosts were completely unaware of this angle was frighteningly apparent when they parroted Butina’s line to “trust no one and do your own research.” Something we think of from Q-Anon but is actually a long standing information tactic from the Russian government. The fact that the hosts took this completely at face value is insane. Finally, while it may have been recorded before, the story should have dealt with Butina's behavior back in Russia including her *insane* visit to harass Alexei Navalney in prison by yelling at him about how "great Russia's prisons are" and how he should be thankful he wasn't in a US one. This woman was allowed by the Russian authorities to harass a man they just tried to kill for propoganda purposes.
Meanwhile, Wondery seems to think she's a really nice girl who's just misunderstood. If only we would "question more"”Read full review »

“Genuinely am enjoying the podcast.
However, will you discuss the fact that Strzok is a discredited FBI agent?”

“Production-wise and from a listeners standpoint, the podcast is good, but Americans are so dumb and naive. It’s like a fantasy for international espionage agents, be it Maria or her string pullers.”
