Please tell your new female Host for what’s the news to stop with the negative labeling of Trump‘s appointee for borders are as anti-immigration. The fact that an individual wants immigrants to follow the law in our country to follow the law doesn’t make them anti-immigrant. Stop with your ideological bias.

AM Luke Vargas is great but you’re hemorrhaging credibility and probably listeners in the PM edition w Tracie Hunte. NPR left skewed reporting and horrendous speaking voice to boot. Please don’t renew her contract; admit your mistake and get a grown up to replace her next go around.

I wrote an review before that this is a Great podcast for important daily news. Now I take that back. It’s becoming too liberal, adding here and there biased opinions.

I’ve been reading the WSJ now for close to 15 years (and listening to this podcast specifically for a good 5-6 years), but over the past year, there has been a noticeable and concerning shift further to the right especially when covering politics. I know it has always leaned to the right, but sadly their “news” (non-Opinion) department is increasingly partisan and while they portend to share unbiased news, it has consistently chosen to elevate/platform Trump giving him more airtime and visibility (mostly discussing his positives and only glossing over all his negatives) while not giving similar fair coverage to Kamala Harris. It’s divisive and I’m seriously considering listening to another podcast for my news now. Note: The ‘Tech News Briefing’ podcast is still great! Except for its elevating of Elon Musk, it has maintained its news independence well.

I miss the show, when it was good. Good format and topic selection but sadly Tracy appears to have come in and shares with us her bias. It’s a shame, she has brought you to bet bottom.

It seems I am listening to a CNN podcast these days. What happened to WSJ news that I loved? Luke Vargas is great but Tracy (Tracie?) just plain awful. Her news podcasts are bad and heavily skewed to the political left. News should be news.

I followed this podcast over the years to realize that this news source is politically biased and of low quality. FT is much better news for me!

Apple Podcast is a great way to listen in to your podcasts. Thanks again.

This morning’s broadcast said nothing about Kamala Harris’s interview on Fox was not mentioned. You’re hate for Elon Musk is obvious and discredits your reporting making you look bias.

The podcast is becoming to liberal. Just present the news and not your bias subjective opinions. You have been the best source of objective news. Keep it that way. I don’t want MSNBC or Fox.

Been listening for years. Finally unfollowed after this last Kamala border show. The bias is unbelievable.

I thought I’d come back and give it another shot, but was disappointed to see that the show continues to lose its objectivity and the left-leaning bias is becoming more and more obvious. Farewell once again.

Feels like show is going through a transition, and not a good one. From content to delivery, just isn’t working now. Listened for yrs but no longer subscribe.

I have always loved following this show for fair, succinct and relevant reporting. I don’t know when exactly the show changed, but Tracie is an awful host, as many others have pointed out. It sounds like a high school production. The Chasing the Vote segments are also very juvenile-sounding and seem to consistently be a few days behind actual relevance in tracking the campaign. Finally, this show seems incredibly behind the news, and I have heard multiple thorough stories reported by Marketplace much sooner than this show. I’d recommend other WSJ shows (and just about any other narrator) and Marketplace until this show gets a well-needed cleanup.

I listen to this show daily for its generally balanced perspectives and coverage of global events. That being said, please either remove Tracie as the PM host or have her work on her cadence and breathwork—it sounds like she’s reading off a script for the first time and is so frustrating to listen to. Her presentation just sounds so incredibly amateurish in contrast with Luke‘s AM episodes (or pretty much any other WSJ host). I haven’t been able to make it through any of the recent PM episodes because of how irritating it is.

When the episodes present actual news, this is a great podcast. Unfortunately many of them sound like they are produced by NPR and the far left bias shocks to the point of double-checking who published the pod. The "Chasing the Vote" episodes might as well be published by the DNC.

I have been loyal podcast for many years. I listen to the ad because I know that is what pays for the podcast. You are now inserting unannounced ads not just in the middle of sentences, but in the middle of words. Are you guys insane. Nothing ruins the customer experience more than that. If you want to block me from fast forwarding through ads go ahead because I listen to them anyway. But what you are doing with these stealth ads will cause me to seek my news elsewhere, which means I will no longer be hearing your advertisers. It’s your revenue we’re talking about so it’s your move now.

Thinly disguised hit piece. Little by little, WSJ is losing its objectivity and credibility.

21 Sep ‘24 - I’m a fan of WSJ reporting and listen regularly. I appreciate the generally objective presentation. I was very disappointed in the abysmal production quality of Chasing the Vote today. Every commercial broke into and disrupted the podcast, then the commercial break came seconds later, and there was no commercial! Maybe AI would do a better job?

This episode is a perfect example of why the WSJ’s news coverage is rated further to the left than the NYT’s. The biggest two examples are the entire framing and language used. For example, things were never or rarely referred to as “pro-life” or “protections for life” and there was no mention of the polling around 15-week bans, parental notification, and waiting periods. Also no mention of how much the U.S. is an outlier compared to other Western countries, as is frequently mentioned when the WSJ prefers what the other countries are doing like universal healthcare or national holiday for Election Day.

This app provides useful information but with the disadvantage of occasional liberal bias. For example, KB once interrupted a reporter to assert incorrectly that inflation was rising significantly before Biden took over. And just today LV commented breathlessly that Liz Cheney went against the Republican Party by endorsing KH. As if that were news.

Why is it so hard to find a show not riddled with bias leaning one way or the other. So difficult to find a well rounded short news podcast.

I usually love the morning edition with Luke. However, todays episode with the two teenage WSJ reporters talking about Kamala Harris was hard to listen to.

As a consistent listener of over a year and a half, I have noticed that increasingly the reporting of politically charged topics (both business and government stories) favor the leftist positions. If ESG had a podcast about politics, this show would get a score of 3.5/5. Most of the guest reporters and survey questions when, discussing political topics or culture, almost always tend to have a left leaning agenda or outlook. Update* The DNC coverage is GLOWING by these “objective” reporters. Very disappointing. At least admit to the bias that is so easily seen in the reporting.

Decent news podcast, but minutes of the show are often wasted on fluff crap like why 25 year olds aren’t having children or why 30 year olds live at home. Report on the markets, business & national politics. The show is only 15 minutes!

In today’s episode, the hosts omitted to mention Harris’s price control proposals during her economic speech but rather decided to mention Trump’s weeks old proposal to increase tariffs on foreign good. Great job everyone.

All the great journalism we have come to expect from the Journal, in tightly edited form.

I’ll go with a news program that doesn’t advertise crypto.

If I want left of center I’ll subscribe to the NYT. Stick to the facts, please. The anti-Israel bias and moral relativism prevalent in your post Oct 7 reporting is particularly disturbing.

My go-to for current events and perspectives. Luke Vargas is sharp and polished, as are some of the other contributors. It’s apparent a lot of work goes into the production of the podcast. Thank you !

Enjoy the mix of international and domestic news in a short format.

Today’s podcast is a good example. Mentioning the assassin is registered Republican but not mentioning his donation to a leftist group is meant to mislead. Blaming Trump for today’s heated discourse (yes he deserves his share of blame) while not mentioning Democrats calling him and other Republicans fascists and threats to democracy is ridiculous.

Very tight production which is good. Left leaning subjective analysis on all things political which is bad.

In the reporters view, Trump is responsible for his own assassination attempt. Unbelievable how biased and blinded by their own ideology these people are. They should learn some from their own editorial pages. Hoping better from WSJ, but nope, same biased reporting. WSJ should fire this reporter who is covering the Trump’s campaign.

Polls referencing to any and all political involvement have the precise reflection as a night club “Strippers Poll”. As they are both designed to distract and mislead in a hypnotic fashion of false beliefs and direction, preferably for profitable gain and gain of power. And both are considered at points to have “pleasurable effects “. They are an widely abused source of controlled information for mainstreams chosen guidance. - s.jxn - Avondale Estates, GA

This had been my main news podcast for a while. First the evening addition is becoming more and more like CNN so I have started to stop listening as much. But now morning edition is even sounding like they are hiring the same government sponsored activists to crank out state propaganda for the Democratic Party. WSJ is the new NY Times. It’s sad they let these brainwashed children ruin every news outlet that still has the sense to report the truth.

They don’t even disclose relationships when reporting on stories or people they’re connected to.

Good show

New terrible ad soliciting questions for podcasts runs multiple times on each episode

Who has signed this statute? Who is this group? Its very very troubling??? Why are you giving a platform to this? Oh my word. This report is junk. Please realize we are not all listening to your rhetoric and one sided reporting. Please go back to reporting truth without opinion. News was supposed to be facts. Who has even heard of ICC? Why should we care about them? Ridiculous

Not as much left leaning as NPR , but presented like an NPR report . Very little insight provided just news you can obtain anywhere else . Nothing special here . And stop reporting about Trump court cases we want business news not partisan Trump news .

I admit that the show is informative on the US economy. But, as far as Gaza war is concerned, it is pure, albeit polite, Hamas propaganda. Hamas, a terrorist organization according to the US, is presented cute and cuddly. Whatever happens, it is the fault of Israel.

I only wish they focused more on big world news stories. Also a pet peeve: I am very tired of hearing Luke Vargas pronounce “Beijing” wrong. It seems he has to say that word at least once per week, and he puts a silly sound on the “j” that maybe is supposed to sound more authentically Chinese but actually takes him FURTHER from the real and simple pronunciation of “Beijing” in Chinese. Someone needs to coach him so I can stop hearing him say it wrong.

New listener and it’s my go to now for staying informed.

Multi-year listener here with one critique, the new intro music is really horrible. I start my day with What’s News and since the new intro music was added I find myself listening to new episodes less and less. What an affect a 5 second intro can have on the retention of its listeners… please change it back.

Love the content but the audio between the content and ads is not level. Great if you don’t care about the ads but still annoying as a listener.

The What’s News in Markets commentary is just not funny. Get a better writer or just stick to the facts and skip the jokes.

While I sympathize with Evan’s fate, why is he so special? Paul Whelan has been suffering the same loss for years.

I loved hearing Francesca deliver the report today. I hope we can hear more of her!
