TIME's "100 Best Podcasts" List Is A Masterclass Of Clueless Liberal Elitism

How did Salesforce founder Marc Benioff's TIME Magazine manage to so epically fumble something as basic as populating a relevant "Top Podcasts" list?

Perhaps it's because the list was actually curated by an MSM journalist wearing progressive blinders, ignoring reality, and selectively choosing cringe-worthy podcasts while dismissing both Spotify's "The Podcast Charts" and Edison's list of the top 50 podcasts in the U.S., which placed The Joe Rogan Experience at number one.

Meet TIME's Eliana Dockterman, the author of the magazine's "100 Best Podcasts of All Time" list, a compilation filled with cringe-worthy picks that cater to the increasingly out-of-touch Democratic Party base.
 
Media analyst Sasha Stone of Awards Daily (formerly known as Oscarwatch) commented on the list. She noted, "Okay, so this list isn't anything official or well-thought-out. It's a list for people who listen to Kara Swisher and The Daily. It's the target demo for NPR's Serial and Dax Shepard, but what it isn't is a list that, in any way, reflects the greatest podcasts of all time. Nowhere near."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

What a crock....   I checked the list

I frequent a few dozen podcasts nightly during a week period, and this list has zero of them,....  No Rogan...  No Kill Tony.  No Harland Highway  I even watch occasionally Bill Maher for balance.

None of these made it.  lIberal bias at its worst.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I looked at the list. The majority, or at least a large plurality (not in the mood to individually count names), are just a list of the lead editor's favorite podcasts. (A few aren't technically even podcasts, they're regular radio shows that have been on NPR for decades.) Like most listicles, it's an "opinions are like backsides" situation: "everybody has one and they usually stink."

No Joe Rogan?  Seriously?
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
