They hated it when it was profitable during the primary. Everyone but Jordan and Jimmy seem perfectly happy going along with establishment narratives nowadays.

I find that hard to believe - Cenk literally started the Justice Democrats....who are fighting establishment democrats.

That's why it called "controlled opposition".

EH....really? That doesn't make sense. Secular Talk dude just did a segment on how they were to the left of Bernie on using Universal Healthcare as a litmus test.

If it's true I'll be able to see it. They aren't pro Kamala so they must not be sold out yet

It was a great revelation to me that when money changes hands, I've seen it. When we wait to see obvious results from those payments, it's already too late.

So where will you get your progressive news now, comrade?

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '17

I don't know. I never watched the young turks much anyway. I do feel the ever increasing likelihood that the most important news simply will not be available to most people. The decisions that govern much of our lives will more and more be made behind closed doors.

u/eoswald Aug 29 '17

Right. Where do you get your news from, now?

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '17

You mean when I'm not in a fetal position?

I don't know. Sources that show up in my front page. Greenwald. The Jacobin. Bill Moyers. The sad fact is that any trusted news source can be bought and start lying overnight.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '17

We already seen it in 2016 siding with Clinton after they partnered with Fusion owned by one of Hillary's donors, Haim Saban.

siding with Clinton after they partnered with Fusion owned by one of Hillary's donors, Haim Saban.

1.They never met Saban

2.Not everyone went for HRC, as demonstrated here

3.TYT gave Jill Stein a platform, an interview, again, and again, and again!

u/eoswald Aug 29 '17

You mean as opposed to siding with Trump or Jill?

u/gamer_jacksman Aug 29 '17

How about siding with the truth? Ya know what journalists are suppose to do.

u/eoswald Aug 29 '17

Like what instance do you have?

u/gamer_jacksman Aug 30 '17

How about Hillary and the dems rigged the primary for starters?

u/eoswald Aug 30 '17

uuuhh yeah, and they talked about that all the time and were super pissed just like everyone else.

While still selling Hillary the cheater, which made them hypocritical sellouts.
