They are really Biased.
20 August 2021
I guess it was the little bit of the left in me that tolerated their biases for the few years I used to listen to them during my hour long commute to work. I recently started to take notice that they are really biased. If they bring a person with central or right wing views as guest, they will check that guest on the any controversial statements he/she makes. Which is good because that is what a journalist should always do. But what I noticed is that this isn't the case for a person with left or view. Many blunt statements will go unchecked and in fact would be encouraged. I have noticed this again and again and I finally decided this is another garbage show that tries to appeal to the left but they have their own poetical agendas. I guess I am growing up and finally starting to see through BS and calling it for what it is.

I have seen this happen on multiple occasion, from protest in US to Egypt, to Elsalvador, and so on.

Most recently they brought a guest who is "expert" in Ethiopia/TPLF, who btw is an American, to talk about the current situation. The guest continued to dehumanize some 29 million Amhara's as villains and the current government as instigator of the war while portraying the TPLF as this 'rebel group fighting oppression of the Tigray people'. No follow up questions asked by Amy while this stament is being made. She didn't mention how TPLF ruled the country for the past 30 years and how it has controlled every sector and government positions even though the Tigray people made up less than 5% of the population. That is till they were practically forced and voted out of office by the Amhara's and Oromos organized movements in 2018. The TPLF has taken many artilleries and took all the dollar with them to Tigray and settled there while playing their terrorizing games. They were confident in their military power which is why they ambushed the North Command in Tigray and started the war.
