Yeah, I stopped watching Breaking Points a while back as the entire show seems to be mostly based on Krystal's activism now, and Saagar is allowed very little push back. They were a bit better when they were still on Rising, although Krystal exhibited the same activism vs. journalism failings Briahna does. (I occasionally check in when they have a good guest or something, and I mostly like Krystal, I just have issues with their format.)
It appears that Krystal and Briahna are besties, and I'd be pretty certain that they (along with a host of other 2020 Bernie surrogates/"Justice Democrat"-friendly activist journalists) are getting their talking points in order via text and email — or even a Slack channel — every morning.
Krystal is now married to Kyle Kulinski, one of the founders of the Justice Democrats that brought us "The Squad," a political operation that quickly became one of the biggest, most embarrassing failures in modern politics, and the ultimate destruction of the 2016 Bernie movement, which replaced old-fashioned class-based policies with laptop class-friendly policies and identity politics. (Kulinski himself doesn't seem too bright, and is an insufferable jerk out loud about nearly everything. He was also my least favorite cast member on Jersey Shore; who'd have thought he'd have entered politics? It thought it would have been Snookie for sure.)
I'd note that Krystal and Briahna exhibit many of the same failings as our wonderful congresspeople — especially prevalent in "The Squad" — of not being able to think on their feet, instead battering home a pre-rehearsed talking point, and surrounding it with convenient fabrications and misdirections no matter where the conversation, and the facts at hand, go. If it's annoying when the activist press and corporate employees and CEOs do it, it's just pure evil when arch-partisan executive branch types, congress, mayors, governors, as well as activist bureaucrats, NGO employees, judges and lawyers do it. Everything can't be about personal politics all the time, especially when your personal politics are so stringent and inflexible and shallow, and they're treated with cult-like religiosity and righteousness.
The big problem with Kulinski, Ball, Gray, Marianne Williamson, Chapo, Cenk Uygur, and even Ryan Grim, Ross Barkan, David Sirota, et al, is that they're not actually DNC: they're the people behind and in lockstep with the upstart branch of the party in The Squad, who instead of reforming the Democratic Party from the inside, became one of the worst—and most embarrassing—parts of the damn thing.
That's why most of those people, who cheered Matt Taibbi when they thought he was one of them, turned on him so hard when the Twitter/FOIA/Censorship Files kept coming, because it so deeply implicated the party that they're failing miserably to reform so much. They're doing to the thankless, idiotic work of sheep-dogging the pseudo-radical, pseudo-left youth vote back into a Democratic Party that's more the party of the Ted Lieus, the Jamie Raskins, the Dan Goldmans, the Adam Schiffs, the Debbie Wasserman-Schultzes, the Nancy Pelosis than ever before. They've literally accomplished less than nothing—the Democrat Party has radically regressed, if we're being honest—but at least they're really loud and annoying about it.

PS: Remember how Krystal ugly cancelled Jimmy Dore….
We fully agree on dumb grifter Kyle Kulinski — despicable character and DNC operative
There’s something seriously wrong with Kyle K. My bet is he is on the psychopath spectrum. He has that crazy look in his eyes.
He's just the worst.
