Not impartial, very left leaning.
Every screw-tube video contains an Ad for this company. A few years ago, a similar scam played out with Athletic chits, a powder which causes explosive diarrhea.
what a piece biased report! DJT can force sale a foreign port owned by a Chinese company, of course China can and should block it. Selling chips to China is national security, let alone selling an important port to usa. Xi didn't even ask Lee go to Beijing to "kiss my ass" seems pretty reasonable.
weird to start the episode with "when Elon Musk founded tesla" when he didn't. disappointing that the journal continues to spread this revisionist history
The opening to this episode brought me so much joy!
