I always read the negative reviews of things I like
Because I want to know why others don’t like it. 1) This is a 40 minute single topic podcast. It isn’t designed to be comprehensive. I mean how could it be. Books and series of books are written about these topics. These episodes are designed to spur thought and a desire to learn more about the topics. This is a morsel, if you like what you hear go and learn more on your own. 2) Bias? Everyone has biases. Everyone has a slant. Again the point is to get you to look at the issue from a slant that you are probably NOT used to looking. Recognize potential bias and think for yourself as you are presented with information you probably haven’t consider before. 3) Pro-Hezbollah? Seriously? The phrase “some people see Hezbollah as freedom fighters” is not the same as “we see Hezbollah as freedom fighters”. One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s “rebel scum” (Star Wars reference). “Some people” in the US see Timothy McVeigh as a freedom fighter. This does not mean that “most people” agree with that opinion, yet it also does not change the fact that “some people” do hold that opinion.

Please just mention the year or context more often by avoiding phrases like “events of August” without...Read full review »
