“On Reliable Sources Sunday morning, host Brian Stelter considered the original point made at a Heritage Foundation seminar, somewhat obscured by a mini-controversy that followed Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank’s characterization of it, that anti-terrorism rhetoric unfairly tars all Muslims as extremists.
Stelter brought on Brigitte Gabriel, founder of ACT! for America, who claimed anywhere from 180-300 million Muslims worldwide were violent extremists, and Linda Sarsour, Director of Arab American Association of New York, who accused her cloaking Islamophobia in overheated counterterrorism rhetoric.
“The media also gives a platform to pseudo-experts,” Sarsour said.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

The Young Turks (Winner – Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don’t patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
