Customer Reviews
Hunter Biden
Rather than just sticking to the facts of the case, Martine and the reporter presented a very empathetic view of Hunter Biden. Ironically, we enable the addict if we show leeway for unacceptable even illegal behavior. In his case, adultery, wild spending, lack of child support, denying he fathered another child - the list goes on… Addiction deprives society of so many talented people. Jill and Joe Biden could have given so much to the county by being role models for loving but not coddling their son. There’s still time to do that.
Day zero
I appreciate the reporting on water, and think it’s a disservice to listeners and the education needed re the topic to end on “hope” esp when it’s tepid and general. And a suggestion for Kasha Patel to stop ending every sentence like a question (on an up note) as if she’s unsure of her reporting.
Hunter Biden
Despite the years long “investigations” the only thing proven by the GOP is that Joe Biden may well be one of the most honest Presidents in American history. Martine did a nice job of reminding us that Hunter Biden, who is not a political figure, is nonetheless paying the price for being the son of President Biden.
