11. Well, remember Cenk Uyger and what happened to his Young Turks show on MSNBC?

Dec 2014

The network brass got complaints from Washington DC republi-CONS that they didn't like "the way they were treated" by the Young Turks and wouldn't come on the show anymore.

And MSNBC caved. And got rid of Cenk and friends. STUPID thing to do. That's like SONY caving to the North Koreans and just letting that be that. Their response should have been - "SO?" Or "Who the fuck cares?" Or "hey, no big deal. We've got LOTS of people we can book! Really don't need you guys all that badly."

So they think no republi-CONS on the air means no show? How 'bout all the Dems and progressive and liberals that would make room for on the air? How 'bout some more attention paid to the OTHER side (i.e. OURS)??? They wouldn't have been at a loss for guests. There are TONS of articulate Dems who've never had a chance at face time. And they'd probably have a LOT of relevant and provocative and attention-getting things to say.
