Starting with the history of the name he gave his show. Too much of an edge lord or talking for expediency's sake vibe. Raised red flags immediately, even though in the beginning, his positions seemed to be aligned with positions I held.

There's always been a contrarian edge to his show and hosts. Over the years, I've been ignoring them, including Ms. Kasparian (the token "liberal" ) more and more. More like a politically savvy Joe Rogan than an actual progressively minded host.
