“I’ve loved The Takeaway for about 4 years, and found it an excellent relatively mainstream source for insight on underreported topics. Unfortunately, I’m leaving 3 stars, because the Friday episodes with Amy Walter are just more centrist political noise than anything valuable. It’s very biased against the actual left in politics, and seems to be another cog in the status quo wheel. You’ll hear right wing people and liberals, but any leftist who is interviewed (rarely, except for Bernie Sanders because they kind of have to) is grilled and treated as pie in the sky dreamer. Very disappointing, and I wish it would be the way it once was, or have a real journalist hosting. The country doesn’t need more centrist insiders being platformed, when we face existential threats like climate change and fascism.”
