Customer Reviews
The Ivy League Presidents testify on C-Span
Like so much of Puck, many of its reporters need to focus on more than a snippet of a story that reinforce their hip/contrary worldview. Take the time to watch the entire 3 hours of the Ivy League Presidents’ testimony before the House Committee, particularly that of the hypocritical (Great Replacement Theory) Elise Stefanik. It may make a dent in some of your not fully informed suppositions.
Our thinnest analysis yet! (Barely there)
Roll my eyes every episode at the constant corporate ball-washing. Zero challenge whatsoever to the business class narrative.
Bad on Israel
Reflexively pro-Palestinian. A slap in the face of those of us who can remember all the way back to October 7th and who started the events in Gaza. Idk if Puck News are staffed by anti-Semites, but the resulting coverage is unquestionably anti-Semitic. Unfollowing.
