      Careful with that labeling.

      People will think you believe the status quo and the zionist propaganda.

      Jimmy Dore is also called that, as many others I watch and learn from, I guess it should be a badge of honor?!

      hahaha

      I hope this helps you learn an opinion that does not fall inline with the status quo smears and talking points!

        Oh no, not the status quo!! If only BGJ did any fact checking -ever. That would entail actually doing work.

        Of course, we like her because everything she says is already agreeable with our views, right? Talk about status quo

          Well, depends on which ‘facts’ you deem to be true.

          I do not agree with 100% of what she says or is about, like with any person in the world.

          I do encourage you to force yourself to be critical of your own bias and what you agree with, I try to do this as well, so as not to be in a bubble and so my views can be realigned as I learn new information.

            It’s not about which facts I agree with. We have lots of better lefties to represent our viewpoints. I’ve watched enough interviews with Brianna to learn that she only knows the most superficial aspects of any topic she delves into. Like, put in five minutes of work at least. It’s odd, because she’s really intelligent (and an Ivy League grad). There is absolutely no excuse for her lack of understanding on some of the subjects she covers.

              Well, it seems you are looking for a person that is an independent journalist, in which they do thourgh reporting on the topic at hand.

              I would agree that, she might not be the right fit for what you are looking for.

              I watch her and followed her work in Rising with The Hill, when she does her Radar segment, these would be way longer than the other segment, she would have time to dive more indepth in which ever topic she was talking about.

              Please share some of the people you mentioned that are much better with their reporting!

              I would also like to include them, for when I am looking at diverse ideas and thinking on subjects I would like to learn more about!

              Thank you!

    Of all these interviews that have been posted about her, can you point to where she at least acknowledges how horrible she was in rolling her eyes in response to a question about a woman being raped?

    Otherwise I have no interest in hearing her perspective. She is a distraction in the worst way.

      Oh, it seems you have fallen for the status quo zionist propaganda and smears, do not worry it happens to the best of us!

      She explains it in multiple interviews, so not sure what you have been watching…

      She mentions in great detail on the changes that Rising with The Hill have gone through, where she knew it was most likely a set up for her to get fired.

      Anything would have gotten her fired, but small and baby ‘roll of the eyes’ seemed to be the thing that went viral.

      It resulted in a great chance for The Hill and the parent company to end her contract.

      If you would like to learn more, please let me know!

        I watched her do it. It was not small. It was not propaganda. She did it, and it’s disgusting. Her lack of respect for anything is a huge distraction from the horrors that are occurring in Palestine. She really just needs to sit down and stop making this about her.

          Again, you have mistaken the reason for her rolling her eyes.

          I would recommend that you watch and listen to her explain why she rolled her eyes.

          Using that zionist talking points to smear her is not helping you understand.

          Sabby Sabs does commentary on the video also, if you do not want to listen directly from BJG:

            I watched the original video. She can explain it away all she wants. She still did it. I really don’t know why you are arguing so hard for her. She is a huge distraction and taking the focus off of those being tortured and killed in Gaza.

              True, it may seem as if I am arguing hard for her.

              I think as a person that has a community for her, that I should point out what she said and meant when she did that, so people have a better view of her character and the kind of person she is.

              I am in disagreement in your framing of her character, she has explained well enough why she rolled her eyes, it was because the guest brought up the ‘believe all women’ straw man at the end of the segment.

              Rising with The Hill has a history of firing people that speak out against Israels ‘potential’ and current genocide against the Palestinian people.

              Kim Iversen and Katie Halper being two others that were fired, if you would like to know more about them and why their contracts were also ended.

                  Well in that instance it did seem like a straw man.

                  Some videos also point out the hypocrisy when this is brought up, when we talk about the Palestinian people.

                  Many reports have came out, for decades now, where sexual abuse is brought up on the Palestinian side and their experiences in Israeli detention.

                  Let us not forget that many Palestinians are being held by Israel in their detention centers, some are children that are released years later.
