Takes a lot of time to fabricate the "news".
I'm getting frustrated with the worst on-time performance for a news show (specifically the 7AM podcast). It was bad enough pushing it back an hour from 6AM, but jeez-louise. You're worse than Italian trains when it comes to keeping on schedule!
they should go to cardiff by the sea lots of new empty shelters free food !!!
acdc fans dont die !!!
fuck ALL politicians !!!

Do you have anything to say about the brutality of the police against French women and women in Tel Aviv? Or do you only know how to shake your tail for your masters and say bad things about Iran and spread lies and rumors? How despicable and miserable are the women who ask you to defend their rights. If you are very concerned about women's rights and human rights, it is better to start from America and control the statistics of sexual assault and rape of girls and sexual violence, We can defend our country ourselves and we don't need you liars and time servers. It's ridiculous, thousands of people are killed every year in America due to police brutality and you sympathize with Iran!! Only a simple and stupid person believes this
It is not true that iranian governors are reviewing rules about hijab , the only thing they want is to kill youths and children. That's their desire. I am 22 year old girl who is feeling it every second I go outdoors .
Twitter's proposed subscription plan "would allow users to pay $8 a month to obtain a coveted blue check mark..." ALLOW? Coveted?
why you dont say anything about the iranian women who are fighting for their basic rights and what is going on the streets in Iran?

CNN 5 THINGS is usually very good, also BBC "market place morning report" is well done.
So sick of trying but failing to find a single place that just does their job keeps their oaths/values...reporters/journalism is officially dead. all that matters is being fastest then getti g smethn fresh. Actually investigating or even validating claims isnt important just regurgitate w.e ur fed and go. its sad. worse tho is that every1 has an agenda and even though it goes against everything journalism stands for (as in being unbiased/reporting and following the truth regardless where it leads/never injecting urself or ur views into the story) theres zero shame about blatantly ramming an agenda down ur throat. letting either their personal beliefs or the companies views/goals/agenda/angle/ect not only slant their reports but to actively push it that direction. reporters routinely treat all stories as an editorial. purposefully lead even mislead readers to the reaction they deem correct. even leave out or overlook information that isnt convenient for them. I have to jump between mult
👏👏👏👌❤
Thanks for your GREAT podcast ❤❤❤ I love it
Would you mind turning the background music down? It is distracting, especially for someone with impaired hearing.
Is this Jenna Bush reporting?
No idea
The background music is annoying, especially for someone with impaired hearing.
