It's so fucking weird. I mean, it's good! But this show on The Hill of all places has been pushing Bernie and his overall message hard and it seems like it has crept up under the radar. I don't know what The Hill's management is thinking, but if they're hedging or positioning for Bernie winning and wanna get in on that then they're being smart about it.
Or maybe it's just some big mistake and the executives are out to lunch. If that's the case I hope they have a very long lunch.

You're overthinking it, they know this content does well on Facebook and Youtube, and it's just part of their business.
12
It’s good that it has a market
5
They have someone, the EiC of The Hill I think, on every now and then who seems able to placate management. But yeah, it's wild!

Doesn’t the hill host Democracy Now?

No, I don't think so. I think they're their own thing

Jimmy dore shows clips of these guys. Politicians sometimes and expect they will be thrown corporate neolib softballs and voiciferously agree with russiagate and then get wrecked.

This kind of shit is utterly pathetic
5
Surprised she's allowed to say that lol.
27
I will have you all know that it's widely accepted for women to cream their shorts over some prominent guy who says the right things. So I will not apologize for uncontrollably jizzing in my pants for Krystal. She's so great.
20
what the fuck kind of name is krystal ball
14
It's the kinda name where she gets me hard as Krystal and I want her to suck my balls
10
I'd suck Krystal's balls

Sorry, I prefer the glory hole.

Jesus, I think the first comment on Krystal Ball is always horny, and frankly, the mods should remove comments until they start heading down that road.

Fuck off nerd.... are you new here? We don’t do shit like that.

Can you tell me what to think about this? I don't know anything about McClatchy, but the expenditures of that PAC look very bad to me. Maybe someone here can tell me why it's not as bad as it looks.
Edit: Bonus IDpol material:
"When first contacted, Ball said McClatchy’s questions were sexist and added that she was writing her own story about why male reporters were focusing on women’s salaries instead of men’s. Later, she said that although she continued to think the initial questions were sexist in origin, she said she welcomed the scrutiny of her group."

Thanks for digging this up. I agree, those expenditures look absolutely frivolous.

I really like her but that looks fucking awful.

Uphold Ballism-Leninism

Krystal speaks truth to power; she's also one of the only media anchors willing to give my two fav candidates (Yang + Sanders) a fair shake.
I love her for these two things alone.
9
Krystal Ball is straight fire and her show is the shit.

i'd kill to know what she reads, like where did she get professional managerial class from
6
It's basically the same as "corporate elite" but sounds more lame, and is probably more accurate.
3
It's the wine moms and bougie-boomer liberals who wanted HRC as Queen of America and who at least nominally accept Warren as a pale substitute. Some of them prefer Harris, but Tulsi killed that campaign. (Kim Iversen dug into Harris's team to discover ties to HRC which may have motivated the 2016 Loser's attack on Tulsi.)
4
I'd say the fact that Tulsi endorsed Bernie in 2016 is the real reason.
4
Original sin for sure, but she remains a gleeful heretic, wasting HRC's "investments".
3
'corporate elite' is the executive/board that appropriates the surplus of production, whereas PMC are the middle managers, lawyers, HR, and other corporate professionals which are paid out of that surplus to directly manage productive workers.

Liked her since she sucked on that dude's nose-dildo and triggered the usual suspects.

url plz

Krystal has a two-year-old daughter. These pictures will definitely be part of little Ella's teen angst phase.
Gawker always let its inner church lady out every now and then, didn't it?

Wow! Gawker is 💯 on brand. Stunning work.

CELEBRATING THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN ATTORNEY GENERAL IN THAT STATE!?!??! WOW!
yeah too bad obama winning proves that shit doesn't even remotely matter and is completely empty. and giving a shit about it makes you a capitalist bootlicking tool
6
well its more like it proves racism overtly isnt really the problem, as much as ppl try to fan up as if this were the point
2
queen shit

That Mehdi interview was so pathetic. I'm glad Bernie didn't let himself be forced into all the gotcha questions he tried to lob at him.
5
I want her to sit on my face while she tells me about Bernie Sanders
4†
shut up coomer
16
Fuck you. If wanting Krystal Ball to sit on my face is wrong I don't want to be right.

The main difference between Julian Castro and Kyrstal Ball's career trajectories is that she failed getting into D.C. when she was a pro-charter school centrist.
4
Somewhere in the Hill's long tradition of publishing garbage, a gem got through. Awesome

Krystal Ball is fucking savage. Props.
Lmfao she's better than Chapo on IDpol, and they call themselves the motherfucking dirtbag left hahaha
She's somehow getting paid by the Hill and allowed to say shit like this. I've seen Chapo cower many times over IDpol. They fear losing their sweet, sweet Patreon Bux.
It's because the Hill thinks there is an audience for "professional" libertarian (without current political baggage - just the bottom direction on that gay ass political compass) actually left-ish / class first political coverage
It seems like they're right
Radlibs / hipsters don't generally fall into this "professional" libertarian left-ish audience as it isn't aesthetically cool, and so The Hill / Krystal Ball can cover issues in a way that isn't worried about appealing to the radlib / hipster sensibility.
To yr point re: patreon bux, Chapo at large (Amber has always been based), at least the Chapo I was familiar with (around the early on New Yorker hit piece), were whipped into submission by their perceived audience - they realized (correctly or not) that staying afloat meant staying in the good graces of a radlib / hipster audience, and so their coverage suffered
I've heard they're starting to get better though
Wtf does any of this mean?
How the fuck are these ppl cool? Like on any level.
No seriously, how???
I noticed that Chapo distanced themselves from criticism of IDpol since Trump election. Slowly they became more and more cautious on IDpol. Now they are basically intersectionalists.
Matt literally said white privilege discourse is just a way for upper class whites to launder their class hatred of poor whites on an episode a few months ago and Will said standpoint theory was bullshit back during the Ilhan Omar controversy.
So what? They are still very soft on criticism. I stopped listening to them after Charlottsville episode when they've joined fascism on the rise hysteria on the intersectional Left. They also invited pretty retarded leftists on their show. They refuse to criticise feminism. Also I think their shtick is getting tiresome. They are mostly Jon Stewart of 2010s among podcast left. I see no use in them.

amber? don't know. I've been listening to them since late 2016 until August of 2017. They def distanced themselves from bold criticism of idpol during that period. They became more and more boring and rather annoying.
That’s completely incorrect, if anything they’ve gotten harsher on it
They’ve said almost exactly that many times on the show
Meh less and less as they get clout
i mean imk still cld be better
?
