Political

It's always disappointing when good material is marred by political views slipped into presentations as though they are unchallenged and immutable reality. That's called political propaganda. I would have though Audible would want to safeguard its cultural neutrality, but evidently the Editors' Pick is in danger of becoming yet another 'big tech outlet' for a political propaganda machine.
