Gary Oldman was scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! before he became a topic of controversy this week for denouncing Hollywood hypocrisy and political correctness in an interview with Playboy. But his appearance Wednesday took on new meaning when he ended up issuing a sincere apology to anyone and everyone he offended with his words.
“I said some things that were poorly considered,” Oldman told Jimmy Kimmel. “And once I had seen it in print, I could see that it was offensive, insensitive, pernicious and ill-informed.”
“The Anti-Defamation League issued a statement calling his comments about Jewish people “prejudiced” and the actor responded with an apology to that community. But the apology he made to Kimmel’s audience was more broad.” *

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.
