Krystal Ball…Is she a spook?

Wow. Her twitter is a mirror copy of Jill Stien.

And it turns out that she is in the thick of the disinformation crowd. Tulsi, Rand Paul and the whole usual gang.

Are these people paid directly by foreign governments? So they have to register as spooks?

Was Krystal always this way? Wasn’t she a liberal?

Marjor confusion here.

by Anonymousreply 66August 13, 2022 4:31 AM

So you are saying that because she says things you do not like, she is a paid Russian spy, OP?

How original.

by Anonymousreply 1July 26, 2022 7:25 AM

Krystal Ball is a pseudo-leftist with liberal leanings. The fact that she works closely and is friends with the nefarious Sagaar Enjeti, a product of the Hudson Institute, tells us everything we need to know about her. And let's not forget the fact that she is in a relationship with that wishy-washy hypocrite and Democrat shill, Kyle Kulinski.

So no, OP, she is hardly a Russian spy. She is more likely to be on the US government's payroll, pretending to be a left wing populist when in reality, she is just a product of corporate media selected to pretend that there is actual plurality in the media.

We do know for a fact that the Russians pay certain people to promote fringe or divisive views. So it wouldn't shock me but I dunno how to tell for sure.

by Anonymousreply 3July 26, 2022 7:39 AM

I don’t think any of you know what she’s been up to lately.

She is no liberal. She is no democrat.

She is anti-Ukraine, anti-democracy and gone full blown fascist.

by Anonymousreply 4July 26, 2022 7:44 AM

She got her start mail nc a fuss about abortion and was at one time a lefty.

Didn’t hear a peep from her about roe being overturned.

She is swimming in the same waters as Rand Paul. You do the math.

by Anonymousreply 5July 26, 2022 7:45 AM

Ok, but why would they pay Krystal fucking Ball, of all people?

Also, speaking of small-time commentators, why do people who actually had shows on Russian media and were employed by them for years like Farron Cousins given a total pass? He only stopped his show on russian-funded tv when the Ukraine war started, but I never hear anyone accusing him of being a Russian agent.

by Anonymousreply 27July 26, 2022 7:58 AM

Farron Cousins was an employee of the Russian government until February 2022, only decided to stop because of Ukraine, and has nothing but glowing praise for RT in his farewell tweets.

He was a LITERAL agent of the government of Russia, broadcasting to an American audience wekk in, week out, for YEARS.

And yet not a single PEEP from the "everyone I disagree with is a Russian agent although I have no proof" crowd on DL.

Amazing, and very telling, hypocrisy.

There is a 10% chance she is dumb and is being used by those people but I don’t know. There’s a lot of smoke here.

Plus the MSNBC checks dried up and once you get a taste of that kind of money and exposure i guess you’d do anything including selling out your own country.

Ed Schulz did it. Some people just take the money.

by Anonymousreply 50July 28, 2022 2:23 AM

No, she just seems like a propagandist. There's an element of covert work and intel gathering to what spies do. Here's the dictionary definition:

"spy - noun

1. One who secretly collects information concerning the enemies of a government or group.

2. One who secretly collects information for a business about one or more of its competitors.

3. One who secretly keeps watch on another or others."

Why are people who are actual leftists who criticize the center-right Democratic party from the left considered spooks, or friends of Putin, or whatever you clowns think? You know you sound like McCarthy-ites from the 50s? I agree with R2. Krystal is not even a real leftie. But when you go after people like Matt Taibbi, who has a lot of integrity, you don't know what you're talking about.

by Anonymousreply 57July 28, 2022 6:30 AM

R55 He is originally a Republican though, so I would expect that from him. I don't see any anti-Ukraine or batshit views from him unlike Krystal.

by Anonymousreply 58July 28, 2022 7:31 AM

R57 You agree with R2 who has an even more conspirational view that she is on the US government's payroll? I don't buy that one. The US government wouldn't be paying someone to push anti-Ukraine propaganda.

by Anonymousreply 59July 28, 2022 7:34 AM

Ball is completely obsessed with Pete Buttigieg and doesn't miss a chance to trash him. I wouldn't be surprised if she was the DL anti-Pete troll.

People are such fanboys and can’t admit when their idols become exposed like Matt Tabbi who is unquestionably pushing a foreign agenda. He is a great example. Stare at his stuff long enough and it will pop out if you’re too dense to see it from space.

by Anonymousreply 61July 28, 2022 2:20 PM

Nobody who organically and genuinely expresses their opinions is ever going to line up with a forging government’s taking points exactly every time. When one has a new talking point, the other propagates it.

It’s not rocket science. How can anyone not see this when pointed out so clearly? There is no denying it unless you’re just a total hopeless case. Doomed to believe everything you see.

None of these people will ever have a honest discussion about issues. It’s always propaganda and talking points. Always.

Not sure that I agree with you , R2, but I remember when she was a group host of an MSNBC show several years ago. At that time I liked her because she was interesting and reasonable. I was completely aghast when I came across her Twitter account. If she is basically manipulating people on social media for pay or other reasons, she is just as much a purveyor of disinformation as those on the right. And despicable as well.
