Cenk is not a journalist
Never purported to be a journalist and as far as I can tell isnt interested in being a journalist
Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
Journalist.
There's a difference. Try to keep up, okay?
MSNBC should not have made a big deal about the "end of combat operations" when I now think thats not the case at all
After I learned that NBC/MSNBC was given "exclusive access" it became a story they couldnt turn down
Im a little disapointed in Maddow for joining in
there I typed it
if you feel like you are having a heart attack... dial 911
Ok back on topic
a journalist does the research before giving their opinion. If Cenk is just a large wind bag like Rush then I wouldn't have much respect for him. I believe that he actually tries to do some research, that makes him a journalist.
A commentator is a nice word for a "talking head." I doubt Cenk is a talking head.
Ergo, commentator minus steady work equals blogger.
Ergo, blogger minus blogs equals Ken.
I don't think the Young Turks are corporate shills at all. They don't have reporters in the field much, instead they do a great job of synthesizing what's going on.
They do the political back-and-forth, D vs. R stuff because it's entertaining. If you don't get some laughs out of this stuff it's pretty bleak usually. Also the reason for the cultural news part.
I would agree they don't treat enough the issue of whether the Democrats are all playing a big conspiratorial losing game. But that's a really complicated question with a lot of different answers.
