A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Alex is a reporter that asks the questions viewers want the answers to. One of the few reporters that ask the tough questions that hold individuals fully accountable. The majority of todays news reporters today are worried about being so sensitive with their questions it can be disgusting at times while not holding those involved accountable. Thank you Alex for great reporting.

Great to hear Elex on Tim Conway Jr.’s show. Elex is a good interviewer and, for this market, willing to ask tough(ish) questions. Worth listening to for the California coverage.

This podcast and TV show are not worth your time. Elex Michaelson claims to be impartial, but it’s obvious based on the company he keeps (the Meiselas brothers, Brian Tyler Cohen) and the way he treats left-leaning guests that he is anything but. Michaelson regularly allows his guests and interviewees to lie, deflect, and obfuscate, and although he occasionally challenges them, he often times allows this behavior to continue unchecked. The public depends on journalists to hold those in positions of power to account. Instead of doing this, Michaelson is more concerned with lining up another interview in which nothing of substance is learned or discussed.
