    Thinly Veiled Biases
    I’ve been a listener and premium member from the start of the show; however, Saagar often exhibits thinly veiled racial biases that make it harder and harder to support in good faith.

    Dump Krystal to save the show!
    Everyone else is great, Krystal the far left who obviously runs the show. How can you say you are not bias? I’ve been listening from day one. But I’m done until she is gone.
  • JessicaDennis2018
    Krystal stop!
    To recap the VP debate and say that the main issue was Jan 6 and JD’s answer is totally bogus! To say nothing about Walts saying he’s friends with school shooters is absurd! I used to love this show but now I think it’s way too left leaning and I can’t stand listening to Krystal run over the entire show.
  • Eraquin
    Thank you!
    If you want to hear more of the actual news and less blatant US propaganda, this is a great show. I so appreciate the work these folks are doing.

    Can’t do it anymore.
    I’ve tried to stick around because I used to love this show but I can’t do it anymore. Krystal’s bias is taking over. Even when I agree with her I have to take a step back and remind myself she is inserting opinions into the conversation and trying to pass them off as facts. I stopped watching the main stream news because of that exact reason and now it’s happening here too.

    K Ball hurts the ear drums
    Your sheer hypocrisy, Krystal ball, is appalling. You used to be a great listen but it seems you suffer from TDS. Good thing the profits your family makes off of vaccines helps benefit you.
  • TheBiggestTuna
    Replace Krystal
    Krystal is such a partition hack. She’s the only one on the show who is unable concede any ground, ever, unless forced into a corner by some kind of objective evidence that contradicts her viewpoint—which, conveniently for her, is somehow always an absolute, indisputable truth. CNN tries to hide their hand more than Krystal does. Poorly, but they do.

    Krystal is the worst
    Krystal is horribly biased and is ruining Breaking Points
  • Pet Tumble Weed
    Great if you’re liberal
    This show used to be more balanced. I appreciate Crystal’s views, but now there is not a conservative counterpoint. At best, the apposing view is just less liberal. If I want to hear right leaning beliefs bashed, I can watch network news.
  • EfjoBiden
    Common theme of bad reviews.
    If you would like to listen to the commentary of the Israel/Gaza/Lebanon conflict from the view point of someone who has absolutely no understanding of the these conflicts, any episode with Krystal is for you.
  • Ajo11246
    Emily
    Has this person been “trans-vestigated” by her own side yet? The voice is hard to listen to.
  • Googleplex2000
    Great Show
    There should be more shows like. People that are haters just can’t handle the other side of the political coin. The hosts show us how we should have respectful conversations with people that have different political viewpoints.
  • Caropepevalg
    Very one sided
    Krystal’s breaking point. We get it you hate Israel.
  • Christian5732
    Stop saying "clean"
    Why does Sagaar have such animosity towards addicts? Punitive measures do not solve addiction.
  • Half Stop
    Krystal drags it down
    Krystal interrupts and overtalks other hosts way too much. I used to listen religiously but only catch a show here and there due to this. I get it that they have different viewpoints, originally that was the point of show. Krystal over talking others is unprofessional and amateurish at best.
  • Thelordworksinroundaboutways
    One of the best
    I listen to a swathe of news sources to get a variety of perspectives. This is one of the shows I Iisten to daily. I appreciate the variety of guests and viewpoints and topics debated. Also, ignore the haters Krystal! Stop criticizing peoples personality y’all, just move on if you can’t handle some real debate and discussions.
  • Organicmind
    Deliver
    When the show started it was a very good mix but more importantly personal views were a small fraction of the show. Please stop adding elements to the story for comparisons. This has become a smear show. Report the news and then at the end add your personal dialog like you started with. Krystal and Saagar have been arguing more frequently and this has turned me away.
  • MLou289
    No longer my favorite news source
    I really think it became too biased. I wish I could hear more of Saagar points of view but all I hear is Krystal now. It needs to be more balanced and more impartial.
  • EEC34
    Not so good anymore
    I used to listen to this show a lot but Krystal’s disdain for religious and pro-life people has become unbearable. Krystal, your worldview is not the only one that exists. Please try to understand that religious folks have a point too, and it is worth respecting.
  • Exoticlife69
    I thought I was the only one!
    I honestly thought that I had become so biased in my opinions that the one show I trusted to give me good points for both sides and assist in balancing my opinions when it comes to politics, had gone so left - I assumed I had become unreasonable. But seeing 80% of people share my beliefs, I now know I’m not crazy. Simply said the show is no longer unbiased. Krystal has become so emotional it’s unbearable. It’s her show now and Saggar gets in a statement at times. She pushes back (Very rare that she has to now) which is what I liked, but now when he talks, he just agrees with EVERYTHING she says! He can’t get in a word 😂 It’s two people who agree on everything which is “The left has made a some mistakes, but the right is bad business. Krystal doesn’t realize that by hating the right so much and never letting Saggar speak, even though he’s now just a little less left than her, it’s crushing the dynamic and the REASON we all loved the show! I feel bad saying this because I really love these two, but it’s now just an echo chamber of mainstream media 😬 I’m a moderate, but this show is great for lefties.
  • forfssakestfu
    More Saager
    Krystal gushing over Koupmala is wearing thin.
  • gadoury62
    Can't get a word in
    Krystal can't let Sagar speak without interrupting constantly. It makes it impossible to listen ughhh STOP!
  • Billjsvfdodhakbsbd
    I give up
    I tried, for a long time. I gritted my teeth and gave Krystal a chance. But I can’t do it anymore. The shrieking voice, and the drowning out of Saager (just SHUT UP AND LET HIM TALK!), combined with being so over the top anti-Israel - I’m out.

    Love this show! Todays show, this entire side of the planet was slaughtered and stolen by Christianity via Catholicism & Europe. So no, it doesn’t belong to us. Splitting hairs on who should be here and how they should arrive is a huge NO. …on top of the fact that this country makes the global south unviable due to its economic sanctions and political coups. So it makes total sense that we “Americans” are anxious of loosing a land we don’t belong on. 😒
  • jlh hlj
    Krystal
    Apparently Krystal is the only person on this pod cast that is allowed to have an opinion. How about letting Saagar finish a thought. It’s becoming unbearable. If Krystal wants to be the only one to speak she should just have her own show. Not sure what happened to this show but it has become unlistenable.

  • slowjeremy
    Whoa
    Miss Ball’s personality is simply the worst. Give Sagar more points to handle this lunatic everyday.
  • cmcg1234567890
    Lost a listener
    Saagar can’t admit the “eating cats and dogs” nonsense is racist. Way to pull up the ladder behind you champ!
  • LAT34
    These people are delusional
    They pretend to be unbiased and fair, but seem to literally hate Kamala Harris and really can’t hide their favor of Trump even as he demeans Haitian immigrants and is now palling around with Lara Loomer.
  • moving on-missu
    Listened a little longer and
    Good format and they try to be down the middle but Krystal does have a bias which impacts the discussion. So after accepting it for sometime I just had to give up listening.
  • pwhoule
    Left wing bias
    I first learned of this show from their interview on JRE. I loved the concept of a left/right wing perspective on currents events and news. Unfortunately, that is the furthest thing from what this show actually is. The one supposedly “center right populist” has no backbone and constantly gets walked all over by his co host Krystal who spews the most radical left wing views and opinions with zero consideration of different points of view. Her view is the correct view and that’s it. Saager needs to either push back or call her out for this show to actually live up to what it claims to be. I’ve been listening on and off hoping things change but they haven’t and I don’t see them changing at all. Their opinion on the Afghanistan withdrawal was absurd which is what originally I stopped listening for. Now it seems as if they have hopped on the Kamala Harris train like every other news outlet presenting a completely biased view of the upcoming election. If a left wing political commentary show is what you are looking for this is it but do not fall for the trap and waste your time thinking this has any “presenting all sides” as it simply does not do this.
  • @pw_gocubsgo
    Frauds of the highest order
    Been watching Krystal and Sagaar since their days at the Hill. They still are willing to call out their ideological peers but have got progressively more ideological the longer they’ve gone. They clearly spend the vast majority of their time trying to spin this willingness to call out Democrats but when push comes to shove, they fall in line. I’m particularly tired of Sagaar. Atleast Krystal doesn’t hide behind a vail of absurdity. She lets her biases be known and doesn’t distort them. Sagaar routinely makes his social conservatism known. But literally never embraces it on the show outside of the 2nd Amendment and Immigration. He is a fraud, and has sold any quasi-conservative worldview down the river for left leaning populism. This show went from a balanced quasi-news show with shaded commentary to a full blown anti-PC Marxian hellscape. Unsubscribe.
  • TweetyBirdie
    Great!
    Love hearing the news with both sides! But not attacking each other
  • loomasauris
    Terrible show
    Everyone is stupid and corrupt except them, supposedly. Krystal can’t stop saying how bad the Dems are, I guess because she lost her congressional race.
  • Enter Clever Quote
    Excellent content
    I listen every day. Because of his show I get a much clearer, well rounded, picture of the issues. I generally agree with Saagar but I love hearing the oppositional points Krystal and Ryan bring. Small complaint is how much Saagar talks over EVERYONE! lol. Another point of criticism is the automatic bias that the left is generally portrayed as inherently innocent of all corruption and evil doing and the right is only out for corporations and are the root of all evil. I try to tell everyone about how great this show is.
  • CharKim1209
    Keep your flailing opinions to yourself Krystal
    This show used to be really good and unbiased. I loved the fact they were both on different sides of the political spectrum and reported the new. Now, Krystal loves to give her opinions on everything and gets very emotional about subjects. Keep that to yourself Krystal!! It’s unlistenable when Krystal Ball on the pod spewing her biased opinions.
  • KingmanBG
    If your kink is smugness.
    You will enjoy these bloviators.
  • 💕brener
    Worth a listen
    I listen every day usually. Sometimes they take too much time on certain stories (ie Russian election interference part 2 - more than 45 minutes?) But sometimes they take time with stories I’m interested in so i guess it balances out.
  • Stego Steve
    Used to be great
    I used to really enjoy this show, however Krystal has become incredibly unhinged.
  • CaliNate101
    Closeted Blue MAGA podcast
    The podcast started great by navigating through crooked media and bad politics. The more mature the podcast gets, the more aligned with MSM it gets.
  • lindsay.love
    Sagaar has terrible takes, unlistenable
    I may still tune in for Ryan & Emily but I can’t even try to digest Krystal & Sagaar’s takes anymore - esp Sagaar. Lazy, liberal talking points with a slight lean toward propping up fascists now. What a joke Breaking Points has become…
  • Hana(:)

    Insane amount of add breaks, really disruptive for the listener.

    Mom + I Listen Every Day
    Love all four of them
  • Allgood258
    No longer the same.
    Used to be my favorite podcast to listen to. Now, there’s not any difference between crystal/ryan and any CNN anchor. Saagar has terrible takes now, and never pushes back crystals obvious bias against the right. Used to be a subscriber, but I will no longer give my money to people that can’t get through saying “we live our trump supporters” without laughing at themselves and lies.
  • brutcolo
    Started good but went downhill
    I now only listen on Friday for Emily and Ryan. They are the best. I loved this show in the beginning but the more I listen the more find myself turning it off before the episode is over. I realized I listen to the whole show when they have quest speakers on. It’s really Krystal at this point. I agree with her on most points but her style of reporting is simply annoying. I don’t agree with Sager a lot of the time but I enjoy listening to him and more importantly I want to hear what he has to say. I just can only listen to Krystal for about 10 minutes then have to find a new show. Sager needs a new cohost.
  • merrymuchmore
    They love to hate Bobby
    Why all the hate for Bobby? No one on this show, and I repeat NO ONE, has ever cared to truly understand this man, and continually misrepresent him in their shows. Krystal decided she didn’t like him from the first moment she heard he was running, due to his pro-vax safety views, and Sagaar followed suit like he always does. What surprised me in the recent debate on whether or not RFK made the right move to help Trump is Emily, who I usually appreciate and look forward to hearing from, blatantly misrepresented him and said that he basically is all MAGA now. Did she listen to the actual Tucker interview she referenced, did she listen to his suspension speech, his talk with Dr Phil, or any of the others recently? He clearly outlined that he was most concerned about children’s’ health, and if he could do some good in that area, even if that meant dropping out and running with Trump, he would make that sacrifice. I think maybe pundits are so used to politicians being so insincere and self-serving they project that onto everyone who steps on the political scene, no matter if the shoe fits. Bobby deserves a bit better and more through analysis than you’re giving him.
  • boob0056
    Right wing grifters
    They have moved over so far to the right its laughable and pathetic
  • K4BS24
    Not good anymore, would not recommend
    In the past listened to Krystal and Saagar episodes, but I can’t even do that now. Saagar has bad takes now and won’t push back. In my opinion something has changed.
  • Rincon -
    Safetiest Mindset
    Completely disagree with you, Saagar. You’re presenting it as a ban on all firearms. It’s hugely disappointing to hear you take the position you’re taking. Feels radical. I’ve come to expect more reason from this show. Also an update: you guys can drone on and on re: particular topics. It gets fairly old and redundant. I do appreciate you opinions. And, at times your opinions have been proven incorrect. I’d rather more news and a little less opinion. It’s crazy to me how much Saagar attacks Kamala and laughs off Trump’s Trumpiness. You call Kamala “gross” for being smart enough to appeal to her multi-racial ethnicity while you laugh about all the gross crud Trump says on the daily. It’s wild to me. Saagar, if you give Kamala a C+, how did you grade the RNC’s orator extraordinaire ramble? Man, BP is hard listen these days.

    Inconsistent
    This podcast is just okay. It has strong moments, and I’ve enjoyed a number of episodes. However, there are too many instances where personal bias colors the commentary. For example, I understand and respect Krystal’s position on Gaza. However, her passion too often becomes an obsession that prevents her from being able to deliver objective analysis. In this vein, in feel that Krystal and Saagar often deliver bad faith arguments, that lack objectivity. This show has so much potential, but I think it’s hindered by the hosts not being nearly as intelligent as they think they are.
