Jordan Berman, aka Jordan Is My Lawyer, is an attorney who hosts the UNBIASED news podcast. She reports on current events with no personal or political commentary. Jordan uses several different sources for each news item to offer different perspectives. Much of what Jordan reports on involves her area of expertise—the legal system.
Jordan asks listeners on social media what they want to hear about. Most podcast episodes feature two main stories. For example, one episode features the State of Texas v. Pfizer public health misinformation case. Jordan outlines Texas' lawsuit.
According to the state, Pfizer deceived the American public. Texas claims Pfizer led people to believe the COVID-19 vaccine would end the pandemic. They also accuse Pfizer of censoring other social media accounts that questioned the company. The podcast host reads from The Texas Tribune, a media outlet reporting the lawsuit. This article adds context to some claims about the deaths of vaccinated people.
Another UNBIASED episode focuses on an update about abortion decisions in Arizona. Jordan reported on the topic the previous day. She says daily reporting means that there will be updates and clarifications. Her delivery is professional and objective.
The "Quick Hitters" podcast segment follows the two main stories. During this segment, Jordan presents brief updates or summaries of other stories. For example, a coalition of immigrant advocacy groups sued the Biden administration. The organizations felt Biden's border proclamation resembled Trump's 2018 one too much. Jordan points out the similarities and differences between the two proclamations.
Some longer UNBIASED episodes feature "Deep Dives." For example, Jordan reports a "Deep Dive" on Trump v. Anderson. This case started as Anderson v. Griswold in Colorado. Norma Anderson, a voter and former state legislator, doesn't think Donald Trump should be on the presidential ballot. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold agreed. The case went ahead and Trump brought it to the Supreme Court. Jordan begins this examination from a high level. She explains each side's argument in detail.
New UNBIASED episodes air several times a week. Most are between twelve and 20 minutes long, but special episodes run longer.
