Lemme know when they dethrone him on Spotify, then I'll be impressed.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

Spotify would sooner manipulate the numbers than allow their golden boy to be beaten

What is the meidas touchs political spectrum? Are they neo liberal centrists, never Trump Republicans, populist progressives?

I mostly listen to breaking points for political content.

I can’t say I’ve seen Meidas. I lean more heavily on More Perfect Union.

I gravitate towards Breaking Points, I think they have a good balance of opinions, being able to criticize trump heavily and still hold the Democratic party to account for being incompetent

More Perfect Union takes a lean on working class and poor people, trying to show how much we have in common, either side.

I think the bullshit ends when we can back away from identity politics long enough to unite and thus scare the bejeezus out of the donor class.

Both are solid choices. I also like Thom Hartman.

I know that name. Air America? Back when there was a single Liberal radio station with him, Rachel Maddow, and Al Franken?

He's great. I already watch the Majority Report almost daily.

I tried Medias Touch for an episode or three in early/middle of last year and it just didn't do it for me. Have they changed the format/content much?

For my political / news related, I tend to do Tangle and Breaking Points with a small smattering of It Could Happen Here. How does their current presentation style compare to that?

Yay Meidas Touch! AFAIK they also have a blog/news site/whatever, so not just videos.

the video-sharing website

I assume they're refering to Youtube?
