Don’t love the politics and propaganda from AAPL…

This show initially caught my attention with the solid hosts, condensed format, and good pace. After listening daily for a few months, though, I’ve turned my focus back to WSJ What’s News in the mornings. I like to think of Apple Inc. as an apolitical organization focused on fundamental human rights like privacy. This show and their News app makes me think they’re too unbalanced.

Do better

I listen to this podcast religiously. I’m in central time and most of the time it’s available to listen to when I’m getting ready in the morning at 6a.

What has recently bothered me is that the war in Ukraine and the Israel/Gaza war have received incredible amounts of attention with most episodes leading with these stories. Seemed fair at the time since both are horrific. However, on 2/15/24 they FINALLY spoke about the war in Sudan! They report that it’s been going on for 10 months and they don’t mention it until nearing the end of the episode. They report that this war has been horrific for this community and especially children, as children are dying at insane rates. I need them to explain why they didn’t feel this war was as important as wars happening in lighter skinned countries because right now I can only believe that it’s race related. Therefore, do better, Apple News!
