“The 20 minute format is accessible but still included important context. I especially appreciate interviews with journalists on the ground and the up to date reports on Palestine.”

“When a government bans a professional news organization, always go listen to their journalism. Israel has just banned Al Jazeera, therefore I listen to Al Jazeera.
Thank you so much for your incredible journalism. Love from Canada ❤️”

“"The Take" didn’t cover Senegal’s highest court, The Constitutional Council, preserving democracy for voters and asserting the importance of an independent judiciary in the lead up to the March 2024 elections. Not covering this essential aspect of the story wrongly focused on individual...”Read full review »

“Thank you to all who work on this podcast, especially with the coverage of Gaza.
Editing my original review to thank The Take for being one of the few news outlets to address Navalny’s ties to nationalism and white supremacist views!”

“What’s happening in Gaza right now is an ever worsening atrocity. The depth of the tragedy is compounded when one realizes that the Palestinians have been trapped in many versions and degrees of this nightmare for at least 75 years. So few have empathized with their injustice and fewer have taken...”Read full review »

“The amount of false information served by AlJazeera is stunning. Impossible to cover in a short comment. But at least one thing: 750,000 Palestinians were NOT " driven from their homes". Historic records show the truth. BUT what IS true is that more than 700,000 Jews were expelled from...”Read full review »

Many thanks again. Will keep follow your great...”Read full review »
