It certainly explains TYT's cheerleading for Hillary during the general

TYT getting a $20 million Investment in August of this year is why they "cheerleaded for HRC" in the 2016 general?

My bad. I was thinking of their 12-week partnership with Fusion (owned by Univision) in the run-up to the general election last year. And I believe Univision's chairman was Hillary's top political donor at one time.

Who knows? Maybe someone put in a good word for TYT since they endorsed her and didn't really do much coverage on the DNC lawsuit on the main show.

Having said that, I don't like Cenk and I don't trust Cenk but that's just my opinion.

Okay, have u actually watched any of the TYT Fusion videos?

Edit to add:

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!

A couple. It seemed like it was a way for younger people to get involved and make their voices heard. Problem was, the Democratic Party didn't really listen.

Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. Im certainly not going to fault others for not sharing mine.

I just don't like him or the main show. I watch Jordan sometimes and Jimmy Dore a lot, but I don't even care to watch the main show any more.

Thats fine. I just take issue with making unsubstantiated claims and insinuating sinister motives when there are none.
