Cenk Uygur absolutely destroys the Washington Post’s anti-Sanders editorial with this amazing rant

The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur unleashed fury on the Washington Post over an editorial that accused Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) of “selling his own brand of fiction to a slice of the country that eagerly wants to buy it.”

While the Post piece accused Sanders of telling a populist story to win voters, Uygur angrily pointed out that Sanders is the real deal, and he has 40 years of consistent legislative action to prove it.

“His record has been enormously consistent,” Uygur answers back, “Everybody is so sick of the fakeness. The fakeness that you guys and the mainstream media represents.”

He then accused the Post of being the “establishment” and pointed out that many media outlets are owned by big corporations.

“Corporations are gigantic and enormously rich and powerful,” he said. “You think they want change? What would we change? We’d change them! They don’t want that change.”

There seems to be an overabundance of exactly that infecting the status quo these days.

wanted him to keep working for them, but cut the time he could be on air. Even were willing to give him a raise. He said NO! But I don't think he only used ONE word!

Love the guy!

I used to think he was into smart analysis. Didn't he used to respect Nate Silver? Oh well.

"liberal media" to avoid - teevee, newspapers, talk radio, - all in the bag and Cenk once again, really nails it.

K&R for this truly liberal guy. Thanks for the post.
