Is The Damage Report left or right?
The Damage Report is a daily progressive news and commentary show hosted by John Iadarola, a longtime host and producer at The Young Turks network, where he also co-hosts the network's flagship show alongside Cenk Uygur. Launched by TYT in 2018 as Iadarola's own daily program, the show runs through the day's politics from a consistently left-wing perspective, emphasizing causes important to progressives such as climate change, economic inequality, social justice, and civil liberties. Iadarola's on-air positioning has been stable: he is described across profiles as a left-wing YouTube personality and progressive pundit, and recent episodes feature sympathetic coverage of figures like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Zohran Mamdani alongside criticism of the Trump administration and congressional Republicans. The show remains part of the TYT network's daily lineup as of mid-2026.
