I've only ever seen Breaking Points content through either a Reddit feed, YouTube suggestion, or the TikTok ForYou Page. I was looking a little more into their show and who these hosts were after getting a video served to me today. Krystal Ball is a registered Democrat and one-time failed U.S House candidate for Virginia, and Saagar Enjeti is a political commentator, former White House Correspondent for The Daily Caller, and registered Republican.

They both describe themselves as "Populists", and their show as a "fearless anti-establishment Youtube show and podcast."

I'm not sure how useful the analysis would be from these two. They seem pretty intent on maintaining this "Plurality" of political perspectives thing they have going on. This was the video that got me looking into them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1JaVBYptaU

so what's the temp check on Breaking Points?

It isn't great. But theirs is one of the only shows that is consistently anti-zionist. Also Ryan Grim has some OK analysis.

Krystal is very Kamala-skeptical, not a fan, she takes Palestine seriously. Saagar will have to face the wall when revolution comes, but he isn't MAGAbrained.

It is OK. Not the best, but as close to mainstream US news as I can get without my blood pressure going up.
