Cenk hosting. The ground invasion in Gaza has begun. Other news sources believe that Israel is invading due to Gaza violating the “ceasefire”, although Gaza never agreed to it. American media refuses to admit Israel may be in the wrong. A Malaysian Airlines flight was shot down over Ukraine in Pro-Russian territory. Pro-Russian rebels are attempting to blame Ukrainians, although evidence is waning and flimsy. Previous Ukraine military jets have been shot down by Russians. Vladimir Putin denies shooting down the plane, however he states that if the Ukranians hadn’t started the hostilities in the first place, the plane wouldn’t have been shot down. The four boys killed on a beach in the Gaza strip was reported on by NBC during the aftermath of the incident. NBC later pulled the reporter, Ayman Mohyeldin, from Palestine and replaced him with Richard Engel for very little reason. Mohyeldin had been receiving criticism from pro-Israel sites about being too balanced in his reporting, and thus, pro-Hamas. Cenk discusses the sanitation of American media. Bill O’Reily wants the Berlin Wall along the southern border to keep out illegal immigrants. He ignores the fact that the southern border is nearly 2,000 miles long. Right wingers have advice for people on how to live their lives. Republican candidate Sheila Kihne objects to celebrating at your wedding if you’re already pregnant. Bill O’Reilly gives the poor advice on how to save their money. He advises people not to spend money on “trinkets” and to save loose change which will end up totaling $25k. Tod Akin has written a new book defending his belief that the female body has ways to “shut that down” if it’s “legitimate rape”. Akin went on MSNBC to defend himself. Darrell Issa wants to grill every member of the White House for information. On what? He doesn’t know. How often does our government work? Not much. New study shows that Congress and the Senate work less that 65% of total weekdays in a year. Kim Horcher joins Cenk to do Twitter Storm. What will happen first, peace in the Middle East or Marijuana legalization? Does Cenk ever do the show without wearing pants? What happens to TYT if Cenk dies? Does crowdfunding ever level the playing field between candidates funded by corporations? When is the next TYT arm wrestling competition? Should there be a separation of church and business? What is Cenk’s workout power song? What religion does Cenk think is most badass?
