Those are just clichés.  Aside from that, I don't think you can't find any mainstream news outlets that offer the kind of perspective the Cenk presents.

Cenk's job isn't to present the news.  His job is to comment on events.  Sure, he's a free trader and sometimes strays too far to the right, not (apparently) understanding the necessity of fair trade.  But, other than that, I doubt that you'll find Cenk's point of view represented in mainstream media outlets.  Even NPR has been dragged from reality to the right.

And that "circular firing squad" comment is not a valid criticism.  We have enemies on the right, and some of them have infiltrated the ranks of the Democratic Party.  Corporatist policies must be attacked wherever they are found.  Right-wing Democrats are as dangerous to our country as Republican right-wingers.

Sure, I'm disappointed that TYT has been reduced to only an hour a day of political and economic commentary.  I agree about the "yuk-yuk" stuff.  But While they might lose one of us who is interested in more serious coverage, TYT will pick up four yahoos who don't care so much.  You can't blame them for going for the money.
