Videos of Laura Ingraham telling Fox & Friends how the GOP can swat away the harmful argument of income inequality and look like they care about the Middle Class. She also made the case that Obama is the government figure that is against the Middle Class that he proposes to fight for. Story about how the FBI is now in the business of national security, looking to rebrand itself and get more money and access. This eventually guts the FBI from looking into rampant White Collar Crime.
The president of Zambia has gone after a political opponent after the opposing leader called him a sweet potato. The meaning of this insult means “someone that doesn’t heed advice.” His punishment was arrest and is facing up to 5 years in jail. The first openly Pastafarian has been sworn into office in a small town in NY. The Defense Minister of Canada has some very far out beliefs about alien life forms and how they visit and affect us everyday. A Kentucky inmate recently broke out of jail and after dealing with temperatures in the single digits and wind chills at -20, he turned himself in to find some warmth. After being treated for hypothermia, he was put back in jail.

You’ve got to put on TYT the Merde that FOX spews so that I (we) don’t have to watch.
Broun was saying “largess,” clown. It means, generosity in bestowing money or gifts upon others.
Honestly I think the pathway to citizenship compromise is pretty fair. Every side of the debate gets part of what they want and walks away happy and it serves as a good stepping stone toward full rights for illegal immigrants.
Not good enough. We don’t want stepping stones to equality, we want equality. If someone can live here and work here, and they can’t vote here, or be a citizen here, then something is very, very wrong.
I have to agree with n8glenn. And the “2/3rds of a citizen” line was a great analogy!
If you feel that way, what is your other alternative, leaving?
Absolutely correct, n8glenn!
Come on Cenk. The chance of life on other planets is 1. (=100%)
Not because it is a chance but when different parameters of a planet are within a certain trehshold, life will automaticly start via evolution of complex aminoacids strains.
and since there are so many planets there are a huge amount of planets that have the nessesary parameters within that treshold for life to emerge naturaly.
Life is not unnatural it is a normal gimmick of the universe :-)
Okay, but that doesn’t = 100%!
With millions of planets in the “Goldilocks zone”, yes it’s 100% certainty we are not the only planet with lifeforms.
audio link not working
http://tytmembermedia.s3.amazonaws.com/tyt-20140107A.mp3
the broken link has a comma before mp3… They need to write a script to publish already
The audio isn’t working at all it seems. Or is it just me?
Nevermind, I got it working. Damn computer set a different default audio device when I updated the video driver.
As long as we’re complaining. I’m d/ling a 50MB audio file and it’s taking ~10min. Moving from one page to another on the TYT website takes long enough that I really have to think whether it’s worthwhile before I click something. Then I’ll do something else while the page loads. I don’t know if it’s a money thing or not, but more priority should be given to improving this.
Their page loads are slow, for no more content than there is. Who does their hosting? Is it in house? I think they use Amazon Web Service for the vids, but the site as well? They need a faster backend it seems.
http://fusion.net/leadership/story/obama-considered-moderate-republican-1980s-12240 here you go cenk, have fun
How can these idiots talk with a straight face about pot the way they do on Fox and CNN etc. They have lived so long and have learned nothing. What a waste of resources and space.
and free speech
The audio download is still not working. How tyt.
I find the story about the defence minister kind of offensive. I means I don’t know the details, but I am pretty sure the guy is suffering from some mental disorder… it’s not really cool to make fun of him.
Why is this not working? Seems like this is happening a lot with the first hour.
If you’re wondering like me, why Cenk was only showing numbers for year 2000 and year 2005 for white collar fbi cases taken on, its almost certainly because the figures for the other years either contradicted the sensationalist story he is trying to sell or retract value from it in some way. In case you didn’t notice this, Cenk unfortunately does this sort of thing often. I’d be very surprised if data for all the other years (2002 – 2013) helped his story.
I wish I could tell him, hey, if data contradicts the point or story you are trying to make, it’s ok you can still show it, because the real world works in this way, then your conclusion would be based on all the data instead of deciding your conclusion and looking for the data to match it, and if you can’t find it, then you skip the story, right Cenk?
I think the main reason this happens is because they often just kinda copy and paste the one article they read on the topic into the show. If the article had a graph that didn’t show all of the data because it didn’t support the writer’s conclusion, then the graph TYT shows will likely also not have all of the data. I give em a pass on it, but they seem to have gotten a little less thorough lately.

They should have used a graph like this. My bet isn’t that they are trying to manipulate the numbers, they just use what the original story use, TYT is a commentary show, they don’t write the stories themselves
Yeah, that is true, but I am pretty sure they also do background research on the story. Therefore, technically they should research the graph a little further, but yeah only showing the numbers for 2000 and 2005 does seem kind of weird.
If you want to contradict Cenk’s reasoning and support for his story, why didn’t you research the years between 2000 and 2005 yourself. Your should have a point showing they didn’t show the whole context of the conversation for their own agenda during those years they omitted. I do research for a living and have found the TYT news program to have more context and truth then any other news outlet.
