Listening to your round table discussion I was struck by how much misrepresentation of certain positions was taking place, even within your small group.

To take just one comment, Ron DeSantis was characterised as making statements about the merits of slavery - this is so hugely misleading about the Florida curriculum that it would be libellous if not said of a politician, yet nobody corrected it.

While minor errors are made here and there, one cannot correct everything live, but these sorts of massive errors and smears in a podcast from your organisation that holds itself as standing for something above the bizarre journalistic fray shouldn’t happen. I’ve seen a sort-of lovefest type of atmosphere in the podcasts before, where everybody is so careful never to correct anything that it feels sickly insular.
