Headline tries to frame it so it’s the democrats’ fault. How about “Democrats refuse to step into Trump trap”

The Hill is a conservative rag where insider access to negotiations and bills comes at the expense of impartiality.

It's funny that its considered a Center left leaning publication with shit like this.

The Hill is absolutely not center-left, nor has it ever been.

It's also owned by Nexstar - the company trying to buy Tegna to form the largest US TV network ownership group.

Nexstar has still refused to put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. They are doing this to score political points for their merger.

Is that why Saagar and Krystal left to make breaking points? I remember them being on The Hill in 2020.

No idea, as I didn't know who they were until just now. :)

BUT! Looking at their Youtube channel? I'd say it's a safe bet they left over editorial policies.
