Great recap of news

Clueless

I really want to like this show, but these people know nothing it always seems. Every prediction they make is absolutely ridiculous. Obviously I would expect a left wing bias, but they are so blinded they can’t seem to accurately comprehend the mind of the Iowa GOP. This means they are clueless when discussing Iowa’s politics.

Good but left leaning

Knowledgeable people who discuss Iowa politics but I wish they’d just be honest that they have a liberal perspective. They essentially criticize everything the republicans do in Des Moines. That is their right but they should just make that clear so people don’t assume they are impartial
