Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) explains why he turned down a new, significantly larger MSNBC contract after hosting a prime-time show on the network that was beating CNN in the key demo ratings. He also shares his thoughts on Rachel Maddow and Fox News.

This version is the FULL 17 minute version.
Thought I'd post this version so it would be easier to watch than the other version which is posted in 'two' parts.


Also of note:

Heads up! Cenk will be a special guest on Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann on CurrentTV Thursday night (tonight)

1. Exactly what most of us thought

...but just wow, they actually said that "Washington" was unhappy. And if anyone has the nerve to say that progressives aren't represented on television because there is no market demand for them, i will shove this clip up their ass.

2. Update ...

SNIP

According to an MSNBC source, it was “staffers in our Washington bureau,” who expressed concerns about Uygur’s “style, not substance.”

p.s. Cenk NEVER said it was Obama or The White House.

6. The powers in Washington are not n the white house

Or the congress eather....In fact the real powers in DC are probably unknown to most of us.
But If I wanted to know I would look at the money....for money is the power in every land.
