I think the people who are constantly saying stop trusting cenk are really right_wing and are trying to turn progressives against Tyt. They are almost on every video complaining about Tyt constantly. We need to watch out for people like them they want to stop the progressive movement. If you go through the comments on every video you’ll see the same people complaining in every one.
I want to stand up for MSNBC today. I’ve been almost exclusively watching their coverage of the Separation of Families and have been thoroughly impressed and appreciative of the stories they are bringing forth, the real emotions and passion they appear to show when reporting, and their outspoken opposition to Fox News and their lack of covering this story.
I have never watched them in the past so I don’t know the history, but as I’m starving for information on how I can help in this particular instance, I’ve found myself turning to their coverage more & more. Its consistent, and continuous coverage, and they have given more information such as which organizations are helping, which airlines are bowing out, which governors are bowing out, where to donate if you want to help, which facilities they are uncovering that are housing these children, and special guests that are providing pro-bono support to these families. I hope they keep it coming.
a broken clock is right twice a day………..doesn’t make it useful or relevant. You’d have to work really hard to fuck up reporting on state sanctioned baby jails & kidnapping. I’m sure Fox News is working overtime to, but just because MSNBC isn’t doesn’t mean they get a pass for all their Russiagate/DonnieTinyHands latest tweet hysteria. As soon as this tragedy gets pushed aside for a salacious new tweet or scandal MSNBC will be back to their shitty selves. Rachel Maddow probably won’t even remember her tears once she’s got a new Russia dot to connect to North Korea or Bernie Sanders.
I’m not saying everything you said in that comment is incorrect. Enough, however, was not just incorrect but lying and/or just plain being a shit person. You sabotage the progressive movement with your presence. I hope, and assume, you are paid for it.
wow…apparently I stuck a nerve, sorry about that. Would love to know how I can be correct & lying at the same time. Also I didn’t attack szyq23 or call them names so how is it that I am a shit person? But thanks for going out of your way to be shitty to me, really says a lot about you & your presence in the progressive movement when you can’t abide an opinion outside of your own.
US Corporate Media is allowed to report on domestic issues that are not in direct challenge to corporate power. This happens to fall into that category. The many millions of children the US blithely snuff out with their foreign policy, you’re not allowed to discuss or have emotions about on corporate media.
1) To be very clear, Brent Welder is an excellent candidate and I hope he wins.
2) That said… Cenk continues to cite a 4-month old poll and continues to withhold any further, more current information from his “reporting” on this race. People who coughed up their hard-earned cash in the final days of the California primary in the belief that their additional dollars would propel Hartson to victory (based on Cenk’s misleading “coverage” of the race)… be aware.
The 4-month old poll had Brent up by 7 points over the incumbent in a one-on-one match up. That poll was taken before any other Democrat entered the race. There are seven Dems in the race now.
To his credit, last week Brent volunteered the information that he is “tied” with other Dems in his primary.
Cenk would increase his credibility if he started sharing all information available, and more current information, rather than cherry-picking or continuously citing old information (without identifying it as such) simply because he wants his candidates of choice to appear to be winning.
And again… all that aside… Strongly hoping Brent Welder wins.
I am quickly losing trust in Cenk to tell us the truth about anything. Not just because of the Hartson debacle(which was staggering) but Cenk still hasn’t explained why he fired Nomiki or Hannah or the other 5 senior staffers(I think Ty Bayliss was one of them cuz last week Jordan Chariton announced that Ty is joining his new reporting endeavor Status Coup). I checked Hannah’s bio on this website & it says Think Tank(Hannah is host & executive producer) is the 2nd largest show on the network w/1.5M subscribers – really need an explanation as to how cancelling your 2nd largest show is helping you to reach more viewers(the excuse TYT keeps pulling out of their ass when questioned about the YouTubeTV deal). Cenk’s & TYT’s silence on this is really disappointing. But that $20M in wall street money speaks volumes & none of it’s good.
I could not agree more. I’m beginning to distrust Cenk and Cenk is TYT in my eyes. That Hartson debacle was like a TYT rehash of the 2016 CNN election coverage. I gave considerable money to the 2M and then to Hartson. It’s possible we were all had by Cenk’s false representation of reality. Maybe deliberate, maybe hopeful ignorance. It’s possible other troubles are happening too that means staff has to change. But where is the truth?
The lack of respect for the TYT Army is aggravating. Maybe it’s time for the army to change. Perhaps it’s time for more Rebel HQ, less main show. Maybe something else all together. I’m still waiting for Cenk to address his network’s supporters. Where’s the money going, Cenk?? I also wonder what Jimmy has to say about all this.
on the topic of Cenk getting things wrong… Good Lord…! in the June 19 interview with Jennifer Jajeh, he actually said that Ghandi would have preferred to fight the British with guns.
Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick. This is how long it took me to fact-check that one — five seconds. Cenk is wrong. Duh. Anyone with half a brain cell would know that. It only took 5 seconds to verify.
I googled “Ghandi prefer fight British with guns” and the first hit was a full explanation of why that particular piece of fake news (being circulated by the Right these days) is not true. It gives the full context of the situation in which Ghandi, early in the independence movement, advocated against the government act banning Indians from owning guns. It had NOTHING to do with wanting to use guns to fight the British.
Cenk can be absolutely dangerous in how fast, loose and careless he is with the truth.
WTF. The US is officially a badly-scripted reality show called Battle of the Billionaires.
I know it has been for many years, but will the MSM report on this?
YES. But not in a negative way.
It will be, “Wow! Cha-ching! Our networks will make serious bank. This is the best news EVER! Only thing better would another giant money sucking war with a suitable evil cartoon villain. Well, one can only hope.”
The last story. They say USA is the best country in the world. Really? I’m from Africa and I’m afraid of going there. I really liked Obama. When he got elected I really thought it was a turning point for the whole world. Now it seems like it accelerated the regression. I think I have learned to not turn to this country to be a moral leader on anything anymore. I hope that you you guys get your shit together.
On the dog story, what did you expect from a culture that raises dogs to the level of humans and dog owners call themselves “moms” and “dads”?
I never thought of it that way but it is.true we Americans has viewed our dogs as our babies.
Dogs, as a group, are blindly loyal and loving (because we made them that way). Children become self-willed people that have better things to do than be excited at everything their “parents” do.

Come on guys! You keep plugging the audio site, but to my suprise it’s only useful to iPhone users!! :(
I was so excited to listen to Nina Turner’s show, but I use a Samsung.
Would also be nice to have access to that new TYT app!
I love you guys, but come on!!
For all of us that don’t use Iphones/ios apps:
Nina Turner’s podcast is available several other places, I listen to it through the Podcast Addict app.
As for the rest of their audio stuff, not sure if it is available in any way that isn’t apple product/software related.
Thanks!
Sorry to agree – I listen to multiple, great podcasts that aren’t ITunes only. Can’t believe it’s that hard or expensive to make the audio available to all of us Android / non Apple users. Don’t understand….

I can see why Chump removed the US from the UN human rights commission, but this is still a human rights violation and should be prosecuted as such. This is all for a silly, expensive, useless wall Chump wants to build. Republicans are so divide they can come up with no legislation to stop it, and they are so powerless they can’t or wont impeach Chump.
I cry for these children, their families, and my country.
