Click here for the full episode, including the extended interview with Ryan Grim.

I haven’t listened to this podcast yet, but the title struck a chord. I have been listening to people crying on NPR all day, and all I feel is contempt. Personally, I believe abortion should be a woman’s choice until the natural birth of the fetus. I believe there should be a right to privacy and bodily autonomy just like all of the people on NPR are crying about. But the last two years have shown me that we absolutely do not have those rights and NPR has been the biggest champion for suppressing those rights. You reap what you sow.
Grim didn’t throw Greenwald under the bus. Glenn made that clear in his resignation letter. Glenn also specifically commended Grim in that letter as an “outstanding journalist” for whom he has the “utmost admiration.” Glenn has continued to speak well of Grim on his substack. And Grim is not a Ukraine Nazi supporter.

We will disagree on each of these points. Good luck to you.
Different folks, different strokes. All good.
Grimm's history of being a Democratic party stooge make any statement he makes suspect.
Katie and Aaron don’t seem to think so.🤔

"progressive groups" is a boring, cheesy media meme usually deployed by the Far Right mainstream media.
