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? Wed change them! They dont want that change.
