1. The Young Turks tend to get their information from certain mainstream sources, like The New York Times, they tend to be like the mainstream media. - Correct, but they don't blindly recite that information, but think about it critically and often criticize those mediawhen they obviously failed at doing their job.
2. The clip I have in the intro, I don't see TYT doing the same level of depth and seriousness in reporting as The Real News Network. - Correct, TYT doesn't do journalism. They only state their opinions on whatever real journalists report. For that puropse, presenting a strong opinion is often more important than covering all the details.
3. fake left/right paradigm. The Left and Right both work for corporate America. Why don't they consistently show it as the democrats doing what special interests tell them to do? - Very complex question, but let me put it like this: In contemporary American politics, there is no real Left. The paradigm isn't false. What's false is the way Democratic politicians are called left-wing.
4. When speaking of the wars, they don't seem to fully see the evils of it. Why don't they see that the wars weren't just from the get-go? I think cent needs to read a little bit of Chomsky. - They're getting to it.
