Biased Reporting Against Israel and Jewish Community

After listening to this podcast from day 1, I have unsubscribed because they reporting is increasingly one-sided and biased toward Israel and the Jewish community.

Ad to content ratio

The reporting is good, but there is regularly more ads than content in each episode. I get it, need to pay the bills, but it’s forcing me to skip the listen all together.
