I am still impressed that Howard Dean was on yesterday!

1. Interesting stuff, as always.

And yes, that Dean interview was great.

It sucks that Cenk did it right before the dead period around Thanksgiving...hopefully more people will get to see it next week.

2. We've only taken the first step

We must raise the stakes with these bastards. Once they calculate that there is a price to be paid by sucking up to morons, they will reconsider how they operate. So we must keep calling them out for the frauds they are.

10. Well said. n/t

3. Recommended!

Give this guy his own tv show!

(Oh no, the networks would never allow that...)

4. This is Where We Could Really Create a Power Shift

Cenk is smokin' these fuck sticks! He's 100% on the money.

My 2 cents on a related issue is that the way the Internet is growing, and hopefully with an Obama administration's support, these cable "news" operations will be put out of their misery. Right NOW the Internet infrastructure would support alternate "channel broadcast" type material and the integration of the web and the cable video platform are only being stifled because the dinosaurs are trying to hold on.

The interfacing of the web and the set top box would, if pioneered right now, fuck these cable relics up. There's talent out here! We already give cable a run for their money! With reporting like Cenk's and the picking up of this meme that he presents so well, we can start to pull the rug out from under these pricks and magnify the FACT that they are a side show, a carnival act.

5. Almost Always Agree with Mr.Yugar

One problem I see is the overwhelming percentage of the populace that lets these fucksticks think for them.Like most around here,I knew shrub was a dimwitted,lazy,arrogant asshole long before he soiled the Whitehouse linen.I must admit that I didn't realize the depth of the American electorate's ignorance.

8. Bush was; and is; a retarded Monkey.

Monkeys don't do homework.
Spot on about the media. Make them do their jobs.

9. Why so subtle?
