Kilkenny hosted a podcast called Drunken Politics before joining Breakthru Radio. Kilkenny believes that the show’s mix of news stories and dark humor is partly a way to cope. In an interview with In These Times, she stated that people cope with difficult news in different ways. “Our way is humor, namely to ensure our audience doesn’t start off by themselves, one-byone.”
Kilkenny is a vocal critic of the establishment media and has been quoted as having a pessimistic view about her chosen profession. Barrett Brown, a reporter for the Daily Kos, stated that “the news exists to make a profit.”
Kilkenny was one of a small group of journalists that started reporting on Occupy Wall Street during its first days, filing a report from Zuccotti Park on September 17, 2011. In May 2011, months before the Occupy movement began, Kilkenny expressed her admiration for the union protesters who occupied the Wisconsin State Capitol building. “That’s the only type of protest that matters anymore: occupy and refuse to leave. It scares the hell out of the politicians and the media loves the drama, so they’re more likely to cover it,” she said. Though her initial coverage described a scene with lukewarm reception, Kilkenny continued to report on the occupation of Zuccotti Park, while chiding larger organizations like The New York Times for “abysmal coverage.” In her response, Kilkenny points out glaring omissions from the NYT’s first coverage of Occupy, which failed to mention NYPD’s documented macing of protestors. “For every batshit-crazy quote Bellafante presents, I can match it with a calm, articulate response from another attendee. I guarantee that,” Kilkenny wrote.
