Cenk Uygur a sell-out? 4 million little reasons

[frazzled]

6. "à la carte" politics

Boy, that phrase hit the nail on the head for me. It drives me crazy sometimes--well, almost all of the time--here and in the general blogosphere, where posters and pundits fail to embrace a coherent political philosophy, picking and choosing a single topic and then deciding that this topic alone makes them "progressive" (and no one else can claim that mantle). As if "putting all the banksters in jail" expresses the full spectrum of liberal thought. As if that will solve racism, sexism, foreign geopolitical conflicts, gun violence, or even the vast majority of economic issues we face.

Makes me want to pull my hair out. Call it selective hearing or selective politics. It's the attention deficit disorder of our day.

PS: That $4 million dollars can corrupt a media personality is hardly surprising. Especially when it's not a particularly intelligent one.
