  2. Compliment time. Yes – Affirmative Action based on Socio-Economics. Great. I think GOpers would like and support this.

  3. Cenk,
    About the Harvard story, you said you still hold the view that affirmative action should be based on socioeconomic status, not on race. However, you covered a story on 3/20/18 “Study Shows Just How Hard It Is To Be A Young Black Man In America” that showed why affirmative action based on race is still necessary. This is not to say that we should not help people who come from economically disadvantaged situations but we still need affirmative action this helps provide fairer representation.

    With college admissions, you have more qualified applicants than spots. So you will already have qualified people rejected. Affirmative action is just having you take the pool of qualified people and having you chose a more representative sample of America from them. This is important because later when you have people in positions of power they will choose people they relate to unconsciously. If you are exposed to all different types of people you will relate to them and that helps to minimize disadvantages that people have to deal with throughout life. Also if through affirmative action qualified minorities to get a chance to be in positions of leadership that is overall good and progresses us to more equality.

  4. That music video must be made. Trump getting hit on by Macron because Melania is done with him. There’s gotta be an RnB song that would fit perfectly.

  5. Cenk has never ACTUALLY listened to Kanye so he has no idea why fans are so dissappointed in his behavior from the past couple years, supporting trump and conservative hatemongers/apologists….a lot of his quotes were out of context. The line about self-consciousness was from one of his BEST, most progressive songs. Don’t speak on hip hop anymore Cenk. Not your lane.

  6. Cenk’s obsession with hating Trump is a big yawn. Do I really care if Trump stayed overnight in Moscow?
    We know he’s a liar and a “weirdo”. Move on. What about the DNC suing Russia? Or CNN’s slandering Jimmy?
    Tons of stuff to be outraged about that matters.

    1. Must be hard to look at past videos to see things being covered I guess… oh wait not that is what I am literally doing right now so you can do it too.

      If you don’t want a political news program to cover the president you might want to admit you don’t want a political news program…

  7. “Chads and Staceys” dudes a /r9k frogposter. The biggest of losers on the ocean of piss that is 4chan.

  8. Wow, I actually enjoyed Cenk’s solo coverage for once -does this mean someone cast a dark magic spell to “Bernificate” me?

    Also, no Ana today? Either she’s still mad at Cenk or she was, yet again, out late “kickin’ it with Jayar all night” as she is known to do!

  9. Never thought I’d be the one to say that we should all apologize to Buzzfeed, but we raked them and Maddow through the coals for publishing and presenting the dossier. Yet most if not all has been proven to be fact… this feels tttttteeeerrrrriiiiiibbbbblllleeeee lol

    1. That happens more often than it should. Do they need more prep time before or better equipment? I don’t know but it shouldn’t happen.

      2. agreed – i cringe every time the host is left hanging for graphics /video, awkwardly staring at the camera; you can almost hear their inner monologue. then half the time eventually appears the wrong thing, often undercutting the arc of the story…
        ….
        no idea if its the fault of the staff, equipment, narcolepsy or just a confusing system, but when the network, which is basically run on a shoestring otherwise looks so slick, these frequent cockups undermine credibility by looking amateurish.

        you’ve had 16 years to get this right guys!

  12. I´v donated to Alison Hartson even though I live in Sweden, this is important to us too. Change Carlifonia and you change USA. Change USA and you change the world.

    1. If by calling Swedes “us” you mean you’re Swedish, then – Ah ha! You’re the election fraud everyone’s talking about!

      Only American citizens or permanent residents (wherever they happen to live) can legally donate to US elections FYI.

    1. I think it’s absolutely clear Kanye and Trump both have serious mental issues, but I don’t think either one has been diagnosed. Or at least it hasn’t been made public.
