Of the two of them Saagar is definitely more conservative and can be quite insightful.
However, the most refreshing thing about The Hill’s “rising” show is that both Krystal Ball and Saggar are intellectually honest, and neither is a talking points partisan.
Krystal Ball is a progressive, but she’s the rarest variety of progressive in that she is smart, well-informed, and intellectually honest. Even when I think she gets the facts wrong, I really believe that she’s trying to be intellectually honest. I often disagree with her, but appreciate her for making the very best progressive arguments. Of course, I also appreciate that she calls out lying, hypocrisy, and smugness of both Democrats and Republicans.
I don’t know about that, just yesterday on one of their YouTube videos Krystal was blaming the violence on the police, she made the point multiple times that the only reason there was violence was because of the police.
And for once Saagar actually punched back on her instead of letting here just do her normal hit and run.
Krystal is basically just 2 steps above Jimmy Dore, and that isn’t a compliment.
I was not impressed with Krystal Ball. She keeps repeating the talking points, just with different and more words.
