Blatant Liberal Bias

“It pains me to right this review as I have been a listener and fan of the show for ~10 years. In listening to the recent episode, “A Small Thing That Gives Me a Tiny Shred of Hope,” I found myself almost at a loss for words. The episode started off with a very promising tone from Ira as if the story would be about how to bring progressives and conservatives together in our very divided times. I was intrigued. What followed was nothing less than a highly progressive biased narrative that essentially argued that if you have all of the facts, of course you can’t be conservative (and especially not support trump). Without going into details it was a piece that asserted that, in order to be happily married in modern America or even date in liberal New York, you will conform to progressive demand or be left lonely and lost in the world. Pathetic. The problem with the progressive movement is that honest debate is unwelcome in the public square. Don’t agree? Cancelled! Divorced! No dates for you! The main stream media seems so confused about why Trump won. Perhaps most Americans don’t agree with your policy positions? And as the media, aren’t you supposed to be sworn to an objective approach similar to doctors to agreeing to do know harm? Why are you taking a posting in the first place? Seems like you lost your way. You’re either totally unaware and it’s extreme subconscious bias or it’s groupthink or it’s malicious. In any case time to wake up because you’ve lost your influence with the public. I’ll never listen to this show again.”

“TAL is hands-down the best radio show ever. Only TAL could have inspired me to hook up our kitchen computer to a stereo system just so I could play old episodes from their website (yes, pre-podcast you could play old episodes over computer speakers even though you couldn't download to...”Read full review »
