Hitting the Home Stretch with Will Bunch on the Nicole Sandler Show 9-3-24

    Both the Democratic and Republican conventions are in the rear view mirror, and we made it through Labor Day, so we're now officially in the home stretch of the 2024 presidential election cycle. In two months and two days Nov 5 arrives, whether or not we're ready. Today, we'll take a look at some of the news made over the Labor Day holiday weekend. Then we'll speak with Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Inquirer   (click on the link and subscribe to his free newsletter)  who attended and covered both conventions in his column at the Philadelphia Inquirer, [...]

Some Media Gets It Right with Will Bunch on the Nicole Sandler Show – 7-9-24

     We've been inundated with journalistic malpractice as much of the corporate media has led the charge to destroy President Biden's candidacy. I've certainly criticized the NY Times, Wall St Journal, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and more than a few *pundits* who are attempting to lead the masses down a disastrous road. Today, I'm going to salute some who are being responsible, like the Philadephia Inquirer who published an editorial calling on D'ump to leave the race, and Inquirer National Columnist WILL BUNCH - today's guest - who writes in his latest column, "I will support whatever approach [...]

I invited him on after reading his column about the death of Henry Kissinger and how the man who finally died would have likely applauded MSNBC firing Mehdi Hasan. Selfishly, I want to point out that Mehdi's not the only one who had a show canceled because management (or some other entity) didn't like his stance or coverage of the war between Hamas & Israel... But [...]

5-30-23 Nicole Sandler Show – A Post-Holiday Weekend Update with Will Bunch

  https://media.zencastr.com/audio-files/5e0cc41aa9798f001400ff98/d7ff0978-a57a-4938-8416-177f15d7f52e.mp3   The first day back after a long holiday weekend is always tough. But here we are. News was made while America was using the day set aside to remember those lost in battle to buy mattresses and gorge themselves on food and beer. OK, I'm over-generalizing, but we really do need to step back and assess our priorities from time to time. And this would be a good time to do that. With the debt ceiling negotiations ongoing as the holiday weekend began, I was taken aback that the so-called cable news channel MSNBC opted to run [...]

3-29-22 Nicole Sandler Show – So Much Worse than Watergate with Will Bunch

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   Will Bunch is today's guest. He's a national columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Watergate, a political scandal that brought down a president. For the past 50 years, Watergate was held up as the example of the worst of America, and every scandal was positioned in relation to Watergate. Will Bunch is a Watergate junkie. He's my age, so he was only around 12 or 13 when the hearings were everywhere. He says he raced [...]

Debt ceiling - check. NDAA - (unfortunately) check. Funding the government - (through mid Feb anyway) check. But wait. There's more! We should be on high alert and no one should be allowed to leave DC before the Right to Vote bill and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act are passed and signed in to [...]
