Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Saagar Enjeti is such an incredibly dense piece of shit it's a wonder he hasn't broken every plumbing system he's been in contact with.
I don't even understand the value of what Krystal Ball is doing sitting next to him every week. This isn't some wacky Hannity & Colmes, I'll cover the left, you cover the right buddy cop team-up. Saagar Enjeti is an enemy of the movement and it's harmful to give that know-nothing clown a platform to spew ignorance and give him the credibility coming from when they worked together at The Hill so that Saagar can ride his way into elite DC social circles.
Unfortunately the United States is so broken and fascistic that to be a leftist with a voice reaching even the border of the mainstream you have to launder it through a "buddy-cop left-right duo". If that show didn't have Krystal Ball and/or Ryan Grim it would have utterly no value at all.
Krystal likely agrees with him? 🤷
Doing a show with Saagar kind of amounts to the same thing whether she agrees with him or not.. I wouldn’t care except that Krystal is married to one of my problematic favs, Kyle Kulinski, who does a left-aligned news program, so by extension I want good things for Krystal, and not whatever she is trying to do with Breaking Points.
