  • The three leftist commentators that I watched over the past day were Hasan Piker, Krystal Ball (with her conservative cohost Saager), and Kyle Kulinski. All of them humanized Kirk, and reminded the audience he has children, and acknowledged that they are in the same business as Kirk, while they are on the other side, and have very strong disagreements with his positions.

    I don’t dislike any of their reactions, but I was frustrated with Kyle today because he spent a long time discussing current conspiracy theories, and then discussed inflammatory right wing reactions. There’s not complete information available yet because the suspect hasn’t been caught, and it just happened. It felt like he was grasping at conspiracy theories, giving them too much credit without the evidence to back them up. And I didn’t enjoyed most of the reactions on social media, including lemmy, yesterday, so I was pretty exhausted to hear him go over the worst of the right winged reactions.
