‘West Wing’ actor Josh Malina ate on $31.50 a week, and so should everyone voting on food stamp funding
Cenk talks to Josh Malina (“The West Wing” and “Scandal”) about Malina’s week on the “SNAP Challenge” — living on $31.50 worth of food, the weekly amount provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. “In my constant attempt to avoid being hungry, the ‘N’ in snap — nutrition — went right out the window,” Malina says. “I think we should ask our representatives that are going to vote on the Farm Bill and legislation that affects people around SNAP to try it. Do it for a week.”

Cenk: ‘Tell the truth — but if you did, you’d have to shut down all of Fox News’
Cenk slams Fox News for purposefully taking President Obama’s “you didn’t build that” comment from a recent speech about job creation in Boston out of context. Fox News ran 42 segments about Obama “insulting” the work of small businesses. “It’s not to say that government does everything,” Cenk says. “But wait a minute, you liars, he didn’t say that. He said that we have to work together to make sure that we can achieve together.”
