4K Uncut Shows
Hi guys! I'm a longtime fan and I love the work you've been doing at Breaking Points. I noticed you made the switch to 4K for the clips posted on the channel, but the uncut show is still capped at 1080p. I understand that you're probably aiming to get the video out as soon as possible in the morning and that 4K would take extra time to process and upload, but would it be possible to upload the 1080p video first and then later provide a 4K option or something similar? I really like the higher video fidelity and it'd be great to get the most out of the new camera setup.
Abortion, mainstream media, and midterms
I've always been pro-choice but was surprised to learn that in many states, the time restriction is up to viability and even 26 weeks in Virginia. Important to note that in all states, the life of the mother trumps these time limits. Clearly, 6 weeks in Texas is too short, as many women don't know they are pregnant by this time... but 6 months or longer? According to the CDC, abortions at 21 weeks or later account for less than 1% of all abortions in the U.S. with 92.7% happening at or before 13 weeks and 42.3% of those happening via a prescribed medicine at 9 weeks or less. (See links at end) I had a totally different impression of this issue based on news coverage. Now that I've done some research, I wonder if this is media drama or the democratic party seeking to find something to salvage midterms? Women's organizations like NOW have been asking for this right to be codified for decades. Isn't that a better answer? Would love to hear your thoughts on this. https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/data_stats/abortion.htm https://www.statista.com/chart/25908/state-by-state-abortion-laws-in-the-us/
Why always bashing Israel?
Dear Krystal and Saagar, I'm a premium member and absolutely love your show. To my mind you are both honest and fair people and I love the impact you're having on our horrible media landscape. And yet.. Every time Israel is brought up, it seems Krystal automatically snarks and implies that Israel is getting preferential treatment and is "Well Connected" in the US corridors of power. Then Krystal goes on to mention the BDS and how it's being ignored as if it wasn't a 100% Antisemitic organisation. Why are you always so quick to back the "defenceless" 1.5 billion Muslims around the world who are clearly being abused by the 20 Million Jews? You know friends, sometimes there is just a simple fact of right and wrong. Facts: - Israel can annihilate the Gaza strip in a week, yet it never attacked Gaza, only responded after thousands of rockets were fired on it's people unprovoked giving thousands and thousand of children PTSD from the constant alarms. - Israel has fought 6 wars, all of which were started by her neighbours. - Israel is a life loving liberal democracy. - The Palestinian question is complex, no doubt. But lets remind ourselves that the West Bank Palestinians have the second highest quality of life in the muslim world. Second place only to.. emm.. The Israeli Arabs! It pains me to hear how you both fall for the Talib / Omar manipulations.. It's not "All about the Benjamins" Krystal, it's about truth and fairness. I hope I've succeeded in making my case and hopefully you'll give Israel fair treatment in the future. Love you guys, love the show. Gili, Tel-Aviv, Israel.
Why should I trust you
Why should I trust you? I haven't watched much yet but from what I'm seeing you don't seem to be supporting the Democratic party much. I know they're far from perfect but they're better than the alternative. I understand the moneyed agendas of MSNBC, CNN etc but why are you a better alternative. How is your interpretation and opinion any different than Rachel Maddow or any of the other talking heads.
