The hosts review critical letters from listeners who claim the show has become too partisan and "pro-Trump." One listener mentions she "monitors" the newsletter to see if the show will return to its non-partisan roots, comparing it unfavorably to the BBC. The hosts dismiss these claims as symptoms of "Orange Man Bad" syndrome, noting that the critics often fail to recognize the show's consistent deconstruction of all political sides.
