Don’t lie to me!
I am always trying to listen to the side’s political views and shows like this can help further engagement But when you completely mischaracterise guests like the Pelosi-bot who was described as “non partisan” and “independent” on Social Security issues, you made me angry. Agree or not, she was not as you described. She dismissed and slandered everyone who disagrees with her. Denigrated solutions like 401ks and private programs, etc. She subscribed to conspiracy theories about billionaires. She dodged simple questions, and then blathered on about fairness. Her one bit of clarity was describing SS as an insurance program, vice an individual retirement fund. She was as dependent on the dem platform and as partisan as possible. please don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

More reviews of The Takeaway
A string of woke platitudes - utterly predictable and often offensive to someone seeking fact based discussions carried out by critical thinkers who want to get to truth.

I cannot believe our funding is going to this nonsense. It's extremely slanted and extremely biased. Defund NPR if this is the garbage that they're airing!!Read full review »

Celeste and John bring their unique style to a show that looks more deeply into TODAYS issues. In the news magazine format, topics are covered more in-depth than any commercial station, and their partnerships place this show on par with NPR News programming.
