In the July 25 edition, Freddy Gray attacks President Joe Biden as a “fraud” (he nearly spits as he’s saying it with pronounced contempt) but slavishly drools over former President Trump, who attempted to steal an election and to this day falsely claims that he wom the 2020 election. Grey is a Brit, not an American no matter how hard he tries to convince his snobby bosses how much he knows about American politics. He doesn’t know. He calls MAGA people in the US and calls it reporting. Grey is the (journalistic) fraud. I’ve unsubscribed and cancelled my Spectator subscriptions.

I preferred the previous format for the show, not a fan of the “inside baseball” approach to the production of the magazine. Still, I very much appreciate the magazine, writers and content.

Find a better US analyst. I won’t listen to that Kate lady anymore. Everything else is fine.

Smart, exacting, unrepentant — a breath of fresh, clear air in an otherwise loud and distracted marketplace of ideas.

For me. In our blizzard of stupidity these voices soothe my soul.
