  1. The Hill is owned by a close family friend to Trump. It isn't a progressive outlet.

  2. Yeah, she started peddling right wing covid misinformation, for some reason. It would be gone with warm weather (nope). Look at how great Sweden is doing (as it racked up a 5-10x higher covid death rate than Its neighbors). Her covid attitude was probably responsible for one of her own staff dying, but she powered on.

  4.  @neon-kitty  Having a progressive on the show doesn't make it a progressive show. Stopped watching before the cast switch. There was less debate on Rising than there was on Crossfire or Hannity and Combes. Saagar, who's supposedly an anti-Trump conservative, regularly softened just how bad Trump is, making it seem like Trump is just a little over the top and not a batshit crazy fascist. Likewise, for Trump's cult, who he made out like they were just being a little silly. And, I don't recall him ever leading Republicans down a path towards not voting for Trump. Krystal, on the other hand, was really trashing Biden (Trump's only remaining viable opponent) and telling progressives that they don't owe Biden their vote. What's the overall message, if it says Trump isn't all that bad, Biden is bad, don't stop voting Republican, but possibly stop voting Democrat? Or, even in the primaries, with the repeated fawning over Yang (who would have had money flowing to the very top faster than ever before, because he's completely ignorant, or completely dishonest, as to how a VAT actually works) ... Bernie had a really tough fight in 2016, and lost. That was running as the only progressive, and getting all the progressive votes. Going into the 2020 primaries, everyone should have known that every single vote taken away from him would be extremely important, and likely help produce another progressive loss. But, people still peddled multiple other "progressives". That kind of stuff is all simply a math problem. If you're taking a vote away from the most competitive progressive, then you're lowering his odds of winning, which lowers the odds of a progressive winning, at all. I started feeling like Krystal and Saagar were a gateway down a path that ends with Dore and a Boogaloo, and their comment section was reflecting that more and more. Kim Iverson went batshit crazy during covid. To normalize her is insane. Her moronic, look how great Sweden is doing (regularly the worst country in Europe, at the time), covid will end with warm weather, and generally shitty covid attitude is likely what killed one of her own staff, but she powered on.

  5.  @dinobotpwnz  No. But they did say they were surprised. No real reason to be surprised, that they'd hire a batshit crazy loon, if you know they're not a progressive station, and owned by Trump's buddy.
