Yeah I used to listen to them quite a bit back in the day but in the lead up to the 2016 election they became insufferable. There was one Clinton story in particular they kept bringing up so I went through their show notes to the source and sure enough they were mischaracterizing everything about it. I emailed John pointing this out and he emailed back with one of the most dismissive replies I've ever gotten.

"this is an excellent deep analysis that I credit the show for."

Wow, thanks John, I'm glad I have the show to credit for doing some basic analysis.
