Meiselas isn't really my thing; he's far too hyperbolic. He's been saying that Trump's end is always around the corner for years now. Typical "we got him this time" stuff that never pans out.

"Trump is in a PANIC over HUGE COURT LOSS", or "Trump FINISHED after MASSIVE EMBARRASSMENT!"

Stuff like that.

But I suppose that's how a lot of Americans need to digest their information these days. After all, that's how FOX News and NEWSMAX do it, so why not lefty news also?

I am happy more Americans are tuning in. Put the "hype" back in hyperbole, Ben!!

I agree, Meiselas is all about clickbait. I cannot listen to him.

Joe Rogan is a talentless hack. Candace Owens is insane.

I pay $5/mo for the Stephanie Miller Show, best investment ever, smart politics and comedy combine for an entertaining two hours every weekday.

#5 All the Reichwing podcasts are nothing but Dotard taint licking, stupid takes that prove they know nothing, anger, and victimhood. They stoke hate and fear which gets the juices going among their great unwashed listeners. Candice Owens is a stupid POS, likely playing at being a MAGAt to cash Putin's checks.

Heather Cox Richardson's takes are less histrionic

@#3 ... Joe Rogan is a talentless hack. ...

I enjoyed his portrayal of his character back on the TV series NewsRadio.

After that, though, he seemed to go off in an odd direction.
