Cenk is filling in for Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC Monday Aug 30th - Friday Sept 3rd (4-5pm ET, 1-2pm PT). Also, Cenk will be skyping in to host TYT Monday - Thursday from 7-9pm ET, 4-6pm PT (and he'll be joined by some guest co-hosts in addition to Ana Kasparian).
The logic, if there is any, of the conservative critics of the Park51 Project is that a mosque anywhere near Ground Zero would be terribly offensive to the 9/11 victims' families. Well, you know who is a lot more offensive to the families of 9/11 victims -- Glenn Beck.
UPDATE: Now we're having fun. A petition has been started to ban Beck from Ground Zero. Sign here.
PS---They explain on the first page that the study only looked at banner ad revenue which makes their revenue totals much lower than they should be. But the rankings are still relevant.
As everyone knows, many Catholic priests have been exposed for molesting and raping children that serve as alter boys for decades. We also know that these disgraceful acts have arguably been systematically covered up by clergy in power and largely ignored as isolated events. What if we treated these despicable priests the way we're currently treating our newest Muslim enemies; with a brush that lumps the entire clergy and religion together? If we did, these are the concerns voting Americans would have when that huge, new Catholic Church moves into town.
Fox News finally made it official. They are part and parcel of the Republican Party. They are now the largest donors to the Republican Governors Association, having given them $1 million dollars. They also employ three out of the top four Republicans in the Iowa Caucus Poll for GOP presidential candidates.
As I explain here, now that Fox News has come out of the closet, it's hard to distinguish where Fox News ends and the Republican Party begins:
The news broke today that News Corp, the parent of FoxNews, contributed $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. Cenk addressed this news on Tuesday in his guest hosting appearance on MSNBC. Several clips have been posted on the TYT YouTube channel.
On Monday's Ed Show on MSNBC, Cenk brought TYT style to television, including in-your-face criticism of Obama and the Democrats. Cenk challenged Representative Chris Van Hollen to pledge to defend Social Security against an upcoming assault by Obama's own deficit commission. Later Cenk interviewed and debated his rival pundit Mark Halperin, the man who Cenk says most embodies mainstream political group think.
Monday night Cenk hooked up with TYT via Skype to co-host the Young Turks with Ana Kasparian. They talked about the "Ground Zero Mosque", miracle workout shoes that make your butt thinner, the demographics that foretell the death of television, and the benefits of teenage sex.
TYT Members can catch all of yesterday's content. Or tune in to MSNBC at 6pm ET and TYT at 8pm ET for more great stories and commentary.
