Breaking Points is an independent news program hosted by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC are ripping us apart and making millions of dollars doing it. We don't have soulless billionaires or corporations backing our high end TV production, but we do have YOU. Together we're creating better, more insightful news to help us understand the world.

It’s really disappointing that schizophrenia has been referenced over and over this week, somehow in relation to these shootings. I can’t imagine being a schizophrenic audience member or their family member listening to this. It’s uneducated and unrelated. The vast majority of schizophrenic people seek treatment. They are not shooting up schools en masse. Maybe it’s time to bring a mental health professional onto the show to dispel these myths. Show some empathy towards folks who were born with an illness and are just doing their best. If this continues, I’ll have to stop supporting this show. It’s just mean spirited.

I don't have confidence that the BP team will see this but I hope they do!
I'm a 32 year old IT expert from Boise, Idaho who can help you all to understand stories involving technology much better. It support, cybersecurity, and more!
Also, back in 2009-2013 I used to be on that cesspool 4chan regularly (I still every few months take a look just to see what's happening) and am able to give you a deep understanding of it and answer any questions you have about it without taking up much of your time. I'm deep into video game culture, I've been close to furry cultures, and close to many trans people.
I am happy and eager to share information with you all on any of these topics and believe that giving you all some more insight will improve your reporting on these topics. Do not hesitate to reach out to me. I will make any time needed to help.

It’s really embarrassing that AI doomerism is the only way any of the BP hosts ever engage with the topic of AI.
