    Wholesale Left Wing Bias
    I knew the BBC was left wing but this program is unlistenable to anyone from the center of politics, particularly as it tries to cover the US…it’s always the same diatribe of leftist tropes. Now they’re doubling dow by repeatedly interviewing Brian Stelter…the fired CNN executive and serial left wing narcissist. I wonder though, do the presenters of this think they’re balanced or have the just swallowed the cool aid?

    Low-grade audio from your guests
    Please, it would be much appreciated if the invited guests you feature could deliver clear, professional-quality audio.

    P.Morgan despicable
    Glad to see you challenge that disgraceful vulture. He wouldn’t stop talking over you to try to get out his fake defense of pretty much everything he’s done. He can’t stop himself but intelligent listeners know his tactics. Let’s not mistake what he does as journalism. He’s certainly entitled to his opinions and we are entitled not to watch. He is pure evil.

    The best things in life ......
    There is a dearth of information on the subject of media in broadcasting. The BBC has the best of it here but only for a short half hour per week. For that reason the show is rushed. It is worth at least 45 minutes and I believe a full hour. No one is devoting any time to this subject. How about it ... Only the BBC can do this and you should.

    Informative and authoritative
    Excellent in-depth reporting on the media industry, obviously focused on the UK market, but with an eye to global trends and issues. High level guests and really informed discussions.

    Media and political issues combined
    I work in media and this is an excellent indispensable briefing from the best media and news organization in the world.
