President Clinton???

Thought I would try one of these Free to Choose Media podcasts. This first one I listened to is dated August 11, 2022.

Right off the bat, the discussion in this "podcast" sounded dated and irrelevant. Soon into the discussion, they mention "President Clinton" (referenced as the current president). Well, "dated" is an understatement.

I can understand a general discussion on fundamental principles being virtually timeless. However, a discussion on a specific topic, without any context to the past 20+ years... it's completely irrelevant and a waste of time.

If you want to present a dated discussion on a specific policy topic, at least note the ACTUAL date the discussion took place. Otherwise, it's nothing more than vapid bait - the resultant experience leading to, at best, negative feedback. At worst, you're going to turn off potential listeners to any other part of the media offerings. Of course, if all the offerings are this immaterial, you must have peaked in 1980.

Moreover, those in the discussion seemed wholly focused on "programs". It certainly did not possess the classical liberal focus of Friedman's & Sowell's defenses in discussions shown in the original Free to Choose PBS series. How would Bob Chitester react to this? Smh

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
