Whistle While You Turk

After spending a few hours on yesterday's Watch The Throne review, I've decided to take it light today. I'm dedicating some hard time to my research project for the next couple of days. (Would you be interested in some excerpts?)

Last week I posted a video of MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan fervently proclaiming his dissatisfaction with the corporate control of Washington politics and the American economy. (See here.) Today, I'd like to offer a video by Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur, otherwise known as The Young Turks. Ana and Cenk do a wonderful job of peeling the layers of Ratigan's epic tirade, offering clear and simple explanations of Dylan's thoughts and ideas. Here, have a look.

Hmmm...

I wonder how "bought" President Obama really is?

peace.

Confessions of a Turk

Can someone please tell me what's going on at MSNBC?

Cenk? Any thoughts?

For the uninitiated, Cenk Uygur is the co-founder and main host for the internet political talk show The Young Turks. TYT began in 2002, and has since become a significant outlet for liberal/progressive political commentary. TYT's Youtube channel receives about 19 million views per month, making it one of the most popular destinations on the internet.

This video doesn't surprise me. For as long as I've been alive, the media and the government have shared an unwritten agreement not to prod too deeply into each other's affairs. Unfortunately, this press/political group massage ensures the public will never really know the truth about what our government is doing, and why. More power to Cenk for holding fast to his ideals. I think he made the right move.

I think I hear Current TV calling. Keith, can you get this guy a job?

peace.
