But keep in mind that still means at least one* of those 6 people has to take the time to filter through all of those major city submissions. Maybe it depends on how many cities you have in mind.
Top 10? Top 20? More?
*This is where Cenk's new "take it up with Tom" line comes back to haunt me.
And that a third of the TYT audience is not America?
It would be nice, if you guys would try to keep those stupid foreigners in mind sometimes. One great thing about the internet is that it is international.
You could probably get much more viewers and members if you would more regularly report about things outside of America.
It might be even a nice service to the American viewers to inform them about the rest of the world. You don't want to encourage the preconception of the ignorant American, do you?
"The first thing Fascists usually try to do is silencing the opposition."
He should better not risk his credibility on something like that. At least he should ease them into it.
Seriously: You have many foreign fans and it would be nice to acknowledge that and report a little more about what's going on in the rest of the world. It is relevant to the US and could be educational.
1. I've actually told Cenk that I would love for him to invite guests on to discuss how their (for example) healthcare and tax policies differ from the US and the pros and cons they see, etc. I'd also be interested to hear more foreign perspective on social issues. I know there was briefly a foreign correspondent but if I recall he spent more time in the developing world.
2. Cenk used to spend a lot more time on the show discussing US foreign policy. Personally I much prefer domestic policy and issues related to the economy, jobs and so on. But yes, I realize Iraq and Afghanistan are important...guess I'm just a little burned out and don't find them as interesting.
I just thought about the ideal guest(host) for a couple of times. He is entertaining and informative. Henry Rollins is even funny when he talks about Iran.
Really Henry Rollins would be the ideal guest (host). Think about it.
Listen and be surprised.
I can just recommend it to everybody on this forum to go to YouTube and listen to some of these performances. Lots of political issues. (South-Afrika, racism, homophobia, Bush-bashing...)
Do you agree that he would be the perfect guest(-host)?
Especially discussions with Ana could be funny, because his opinions on celebrity-culture differ very much from her's.
Now, that I think of it. Rollins reminds me of Wes Clark (or rather the other way around). Cynical, no-bullshit straight talk, I like that very much.
Henry once filled in for Cenk on "Meet the Bloggers". (I wonder what happened to that show. I was not watching it while it ran.) So, they even probably know each other.
Isn't it great how intelligent Rollins can articulate his left-wing positions without anybody crying sell-out.
It would be great in a show. First two hours he would show Cenk what real left-wingers think and in the third hour he would rant about celebrity culture until Ana leaves the studio.
That would be the best show ever!!!
