Breaking Points
- Hi User talk:Curbon7 I've seen Breaking Points covered by Axios, The New York Times and more recently The New Yorker who just profiled Breaking Points here: [1] Krystal Ball had a show previously for MSNBC, and The Hill, and has been a multiple time guest on Real Time with Bill Maher most recently this Friday. I feel as though it's worthy of having an article due to their viral videos on youtube and their high ranking podcast status. The One I Left (talk) 19:26, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar (or simply Breaking Points) is an populist, anti-establishment political news and opinion series, available on Youtube (Breaking Points) and in audio-only podcast format. It is hosted by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. Its format includes one populist left anchor and one populist right anchor, who gives views from both sides of the political spectrum.[1][2]
Format
Breaking Points features commentary and analysis of political news and current events, in-studio interviews with journalists, politicians, campaign staff and surrogates, political advisors and strategists, and members of the news media, and occasional live-analysis segments. It is usually published on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
The "Breaking Points" segments serve as an opportunity for each host to highlight an important topic in current events. The hosts analyze the topic in a monologue format, usually organized into three or four bullet-points. This is followed by an open discussion, available to premium subscribers.
Breaking Points spends a substantial amount of its time criticizing mainstream media from a populist perspective.[3]
Business model
The majority of the show's revenue comes from premium subscribers, with some additional revenues from Youtube and podcast ads.[4][4]
History
On May 28, 2021, Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti announced their departure from the Hill. On June 7, 2021, the first episode of Breaking Points was uploaded to YouTube.
The show was made out of an effort to avoid the perception of advertisement dollars affected their coverage. It also gave the hosts more editorial control over their work.[5]
As of June 16, 2021, the Breaking Points YouTube channel has 320,000 subscribers.
