Kim became extremely popular among Rising viewers. She developed a loyal audience size vastly larger than what 95% of employees of large liberal media corporations have. That's because she does what they won't: questions rather than slavishly parrots official orthodoxy.

Yesterday, Kim announced she had left Rising, in part because they wouldn't let her interview Dr. Fauci. She's been very skeptical about COVID orthodoxies.
I don't know if Fauci or Hill management banned it, but she did the only respectable thing: quit.https://t.co/JfmpnUGby5

Liberal employees of media corporates hate nothing more than independent voices who have a large, trusting audience even while refusing to submit to their corporate constraints. They are so petty and envious, it's what drives them craziest. This is who they hate most: eg, Rogan.

But note what happened. Kim's responses to this tabloid's hit piece was widely circulated by her loyal following. But the Daily Beast has so little audience and this enforcer of liberal pieties, @justinbaragona, has none, so virtually nobody even noticed the shit they published. pic.twitter.com/qCQcZ40y04

This is corporate liberal journalism, in one tweet: pic.twitter.com/PssGJhU1pi

I should add that the interview of Fauci which Rising did is well worth watching. Both @bungarsargon and @robbysoave subjected him to questions far more skeptical and adversarial than he's faced in most other outlets. But Kim's critiques are different:https://t.co/7G7X8Y1QH5
