Say where you stand and people trust you more

If, if broken Micah would come out and just say, here's, here's our opinion. Here's where we stand that I would have so much more respect for them. And I would trust them more

Summary
Discussing On the Media's post-election episode, Dave says he'd have far more respect for the hosts if they just said 'here's our opinion, here's where we stand.' Knowing someone's position gives listeners a mental framework for what they're hearing, which builds trust.
Not in the audio. 'broken Micah' is the transcript's rendering of 'Brooke and Micah' (On the Media hosts Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger); the full names come from general knowledge.
