*LMFAO. THANKS FOR THE LAUGH ONCE AGAIN!*
Cenk Uygur acting like that he isn't a part of the mainstream media made me laugh my ass off.

[comradery]

He is saying that the media should be straight up factual. Yet when I watch his media TYT, it pushes what they believe is true, which in their minds is reality. He sure is critically even. -__- News my friends should be transparent and not clouded. Not suggestively factual and opinionated. But hey thats impossible right?

[NGE]

YOUR TELLING ME IT'S BROKEN! YOUR PART OF IT!

[redcisco]

I'm dying laughing right now. One of the least factual news guys, who's sponsored by mainstream media, talking about bring facts to news and how mainstream media is messed up. It must be nice to never see your own faults

[MrCool]

Thank you, overlord of truth. No need to research. Just listen to what the young turks say is the facts.

[Silkfox]

I don't agree with Cenk on most political views, but he is the good kind of Liberal. Not the insane and radical type of Democrat

[zgoce]

That is pure EVIL!!!
They know it, and they love it!!!

[jeffreyb]

One of the most biased and propagandist people in media explaining how the media is broken. Got it! 👍

Mainstream media is for old people and those who have no interest what so ever in information. It's basically what the top comment guy said: Gossip.

[Trying]

What a joke. One of the biggest liars there has ever been.

[thabisoshale]

Isn't this the TYT guy? Just search 'TYT Ben Shapiro'. That tells the entire story.

[CukoD]

the problem with the media is not that! thats just the sideffects, the real problem is the fact that media covers anything that we shouldnt know, missinform and propel ideas that serves others.

[Demarcoa]

it still is for me, but unlike other people, i'm properly informed (as is the rest of the tyt army)

[Notallowed]

I love it when Cenk says "of course!" such enthusiasm haha

A democracy does not work with an uninformed population. The media and education are extremely important for people to know how to vote. Way too many things are kept from the people on the grounds of "national security" which has way over reached necessity. The constitution and what America truly stands about historically is threatened and under assault by those who think government business is not the peoples business.

[rberka]

This is like the pot calling the kettle black

[upabittoolate]

She's not the founder of that phrase. But I still can't respect Sarah Palin on that tip either. Why? She's a journalist by trade & education but she has no clue of what's happening in the world. If she'd watched the news & read a paper or 2, she might not have made McCain look so damned cynical for picking her. And that same, lamestream media is how she has become a very rich & famous woman. Am I lying?

[MovieMakerRobot]

Only one problem. People don't get entertained by facts, they like exaggerated lies. That's what grabs the attention of people.

[roronoavinsmoke]

cenk tryna act like hes out the mix is hilarious 😭😭😭😭😭

TYT is not perfect, but its the best opinion based independent show out there. Linking the War on drugs to legal slavery is a stretch simply because prison factories do not select just drug offenders for unpaid work but any prisoner regardless of crime.
