Hypocrisy, thy name is Uygur ... What is valid in 2008 isn't valid in 2016 because ... because ... Hillary Clinton is EVIL ...

This is Cenk Uygur & TYT announcing Barack Obama clinching nomination in 2008 .... on June 3rd.

Just as a reminder, on June 3rd, the primaries ended & then Sen Obama crossed the 50% mark of pledged delegates. Together with SUPER DELEGATES, the networks decided that he has enough to win the super delegates.

Cut to 2016 & this is Cenk Uygur and he accuses CNN and claims that calling Hillary as PRESUMPTIVE nominee on June 7th because she crossed the same threshold as Obama did in 2008 as the following: THIS IS NOT JOURNALISM! And then he goes on a rant on FBI indictment (sigh!)

Seriously, Cenk - get off your high horse. It already smells of hypocrisy. Logic died in that mess a long time back. At least spare exploiting decency.

Update: JurisDoctor shared this video of Cenk Uygur ripping Mark Penn in Feb 2008 because he wanted super delegates to overthrow the pledged delegates result if Hillary didn’t win.

Pity, he doesn’t remember his own comment

[George II]

[ismnotwasm]

[Cha]

17. lol.. I don't know how you guys can watch him.. I saw him once

20. I watched about 2 minutes and had to turn him off. He launched right into his "superdelegate" rant.

4. Nothing of value in that talking head. eom

[StayFrosty]

5. Lost all respect for him this primary.

[BootinUp]

6. Anything for attention from the "progressive" netroots bunch. nt

[Dawson Leery]

7. The progressive netroots are no better than Rush Limbaugh.

Corporations did NOT kill lefty talk, it killed itself. The center/left is too smart to get talking points fed to them the way that Rush/Hannity/Ingraham do for the right.

Cenk is a charlatan. Watching he and Kasparian together is like watching a left wing Hannity/Ingraham show.

[BootinUp]

13. Yep. nt

[shenmue]

8. Cenk, the nice men in the white coats are here to help you

9. bernie is TYT "cash cow". no more cow = no more cash (definition of cash cow from wikipedia)

"Cash cow is business jargon for a business venture that generates a steady return of profits that far exceed the outlay of cash required to acquire or start it."

[stopbush]

10. He's just like Sanders - "my way or the highway."

No wonder he lost his gig at MSNBC.

[MattP]

11. Doesn't he have a flight to catch get drunk and thrown off to catch?

[DLCWIdem]

16. yeah, and he made a tool of himself and videoed it. a$$

[William769]

12. I refuse to listen to that asshole.

[sufrommich]

14. Can't stand the guy. He always looks and acts like

he's 2 minutes away from his angry head exploding.

[fleabiscuit]

18. I'd donate to see that happen. eom

[displacedtexan]

15. Young Turk??? He's 46 freakin' years old.

He's also turning into the second coming of Geraldo Rivera. Trying to be hip by latching onto the cool kids' fads.

[fleabiscuit]

19. The Yelling Turds, get it right. :-)

[Historic NY]

21. Young Turks...old turds that take Republican money.

[BobbyDrake]

22. I liken Uygur to a "progressive Glenn Beck." He exists to sell books to gullible viewers, taking his

cut off of the top.
