The show hosted by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti?

HP, like most so-called 'alternative media', gets wrapped up in propagandistic and conspiracy narratives to try and appear 'anti-establishment' and get attention. Wannabe iconoclasts.

Horrendous, a show hosted by a fascist and a tankie. It’s like TYT but even dumber

I wouldn't characterize Saagar as a fascist. He's never been on board with the election denier crowd. Did he even vote for Trump in 2020?

I don't see Saagar as a fascist or Krystal as a tankie, however I see both as toxic so-called 'populist' versions of their ideology.

FF but occasionally too conspiratorial/sensationalist.

Also, they crap on mainstream media but most of their content is just commentary on stories reported by the mainstream media. I don't just mean Krystal and Saagar, most "alternative media" does this. There's plenty of valid criticism you can make about traditional/mainstream media, but the business models of these alternative media companies literally rely on the traditional media they claim they hate so much.

Remember, "fascist" means any right-winger who has right-wing opinions on anything other than tax rates.

This is also true. Not only that, but very few 'alternative media' outlets do on-the-ground reporting, which is normally where news outlets get information about a news story from, yet mainstream media outlets such as CNN, CBC, BBC, et al still do most of the on-the-ground reporting that people like Krystal and Saagar then comment on. Yet Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti think they know everything about the world from their safe, cozy studio!
