Rising with the Hill's Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti (2018)
A Breadth of Fresh Air
At last a source of progressive political commentary with a populist bent that does not suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome! This program will not be to your liking if you are looking for the echo chamber that is currently pervasive in mass media. I appreciate the deeper dives that the hosts take into the "why" behind the decisions of politicians. Clearly, the hosts many times speculate on these reasons but they articulate their rationale, which allows viewers to decide whether their positions have have merit. I appreciate the seemingly unforced, lighthearted manner of their deliveries. The populist in me also appreciates how they report on hypocrisy no matter what the source. I learn from their shows, am entertained, and therefore consider my viewing time a good investment.
