What do we make of former friends who fell down the rabbit hole of the Right? How to name the rude currents eroding the Left, those which have claimed the hearts, minds and Substacks of so many former friends and fellow travelers? There are the journalist-provocateurs and the readers who have followed them rightward, the Trumpers-come-lately marching on to Glenn Greenwald’s Rumble or vanishing into Max Blumenthal’s Grayzone. There are those not quite yet there, such as Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks, currently mourning the leftism she now believes ​“gaslit” her about a ​“crime wave” it refuses to admit....

Progressive political commentator Ana Kasparian pulled no punches in her assessment of how bad liberal mecca San Francisco has become thanks to rising crime, homelessness, and Democrat policies. During the latest episode of businessman and commentator Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, the "Young Turks" co-host called the California city a "nightmare" and warned visitors, "Your car’s going to get broken into, okay? You’re going to get robbed." The conversation began with Bet-David bringing up Kasparian’s X post from last month in which she claimed, "California is *without question* a shit show under Newsom. But I guess propping up proven failures is what...

What happens when leftism meets reality? Ana Kasparian, co-host of the left-wing show “The Young Turks,” recently found out. Kasparian railed against the financial hardship of retrofitting her California condo to allow for electric vehicle charging. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who’s committed to driving California straight into the ground, signed an executive order mandating an end to gas car sales by 2035, and very expensive charging stations will have to be installed throughout the state. A distressed Kasparian describes the “massive ---- loan” her building must take out to install the stations.

'The Young Turks' host Ana Kasparian warned that journalists risk cancellation for reporting on transgender issuesAna Kasparian, a co-host of the progressive "The Young Turks" show, slammed her fellow liberals Sunday for downplaying the risks involved in giving transgender treatments to minors. Kasparian appeared on a recent episode of the Sitch & Adam show on YouTube where she denounced the transgender politics and cancel culture embraced by much of the modern American left. She talked about the phenomenon of "attacks on straight-news journalists who are doing their jobs," and theorized, "The whole point is to intimidate journalists from doing accurate...

Filmmaker and director of the Marvel Universe’s 'Black Panther’ movies Ryan Coogler was falsely arrested at an Atlanta bank after the teller mistook him for a bank robber after he passed a note to her.

Ana Kasparian, far-left co-host of progressive news program "The Young Turks," admitted she was "wrong" for assuming Kyle Rittenhouse chased Joseph Rosenbaum before fatally shooting him last year amid rioting and protesting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake. In reality — and according to videos TheBlaze examined just two days after the incident — it was quite clear that Rosenbaum was the aggressor and was, in fact, chasing Rittenhouse that night. It isn't so clear why Kasparian assumed the opposite all this time — though even the prosecuting attorney in Rittenhouse's murder trial last week falsely...

VIDEO Now that one of the allegations against Joe Biden has been confirmed by a phone call to the Larry King Show in 1993, The Young Turks have gone into a deep depression panic mode over the political future of the Democrats and the Left. Although Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian confront what might be their sad fate this year, as this video reveals, it could be much much worse than they imagine. As an act of mercy, I am begging everybody NOT to show this video to The Young Turks. Better that they spend the next few weeks...

Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz, Aida Rodriguez, and Ana Kasparian, hosts of "The Young Turks," break down the winners and losers of Tuesday's Democratic presidential debate from the progressive point of view. "[Sanders] was really strong, he was a fighter tonight, and Elizabeth warren with one great point after another," Uygur said. "Obviously looking at them together fighting off all the Republicans on the stage -- yes I know I said Republicans -- it made me think of, of course, the dream team. So tonight we begin to whisper of a dream that they're together. Obviously, we don't know what form...
