BREAKING: Cenk of TYT Hosting MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Show 7/6-7/7/10

[ihavenobias]

-Host of The Young Turks Cenk Uygur will be guest hosting MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Show Tuesday July 6th and Wednesday July 7th at 4pm Eastern/1pm Pacific.

-Ratigan guest hosted The Young Turks on May 27th which resulted in bashing by the right wing 'NewsBusters'. Here is a recent NY Times piece on Ratigan:

From CNBC Stock-Picker to Bank Critic On MSNBC

1. Soon he will be comfortably under GE's wing. n/t

[jgraz]

3. I think you mean GE, and I don't think that would be too comfortable for them.

[Subdivisions]

6. I did mean GE. Thanks for the head's up. Funny how I could be looking

right at that error and not see it, lol.

[librechik]

2. you mean 7/6 through 7/8

time to edit!

[ihavenobias]

10. Ha, ha. I meant July 7th and 8th but close enough.

Thanks!

[hlthe2b]

4. You know.. he could really be fun if he replaced Larry King

with his former TYT cohost, Ben Mankiewicz... Yeah, I know--exceedingly unlikely.

Good on Cenk for this gig.

[jgraz]

5. He could. Cuz he's a pro-fessional

Look it up in the book.

[hlthe2b]

7. I obviously missed that one...

[ihavenobias]

11. He's referring to this funny clip where King sounded drunk.

[hlthe2b]

14. ahh, thank you...

that's a context I never would have figured out.

[Wetzelbill]

18. that is one of the best several minutes

of radio ever.

[ihavenobias]

40. Cenk and NPR's Brian Unger (who was also a Daily Show correspondent) discussed who should replace

King:

8. Woo Hoo !!! - K & R !!!

[MedfordTim]

9. Man, is Lawrence O'Donnell going to look bad or what?

Hee hee!

[hlthe2b]

12. Why?

[ihavenobias]

16. Cenk quoted by Politico on the Lawrence O'Donnell hiring...

..."Lawrence did a fantastic job when he was filling in for Keith," said Cenk Uygur, who has had O'Donnell on the liberal talk show he hosts, "The Young Turks." "I think Keith is great, of course, but Lawrence has a little different style. Keith concentrates a little bit more on humor, and Lawrence concentrates on bringing the heat"...

42. Lawrence O'Donnell's new show will be on MSNBC right after Rachel Maddow.

MSNBC announced a week or so ago that Lawrence O'Donnell will be getting his own show.
Now we just have to wait for Cenk to get his own show too!

[stlsaxman]

13. GREAT! Maybe now TYT will get a national syndicated show and stop doing those HORRIBLE

fucking commercials for GoBigDaddy.cum at the end of it's YouTube videos.

Saw my first one today- it will be my last.

[bdamomma]

15. that's great, a possible recruit?

[ejbr]

[CherylK]

19. Fantastic!!!

[xultar]

20. You can bet your sweet ass that'll be the only time I'll watch.

[ihavenobias]

25. I actually like Ratigan.

He calls out corporate sellouts and goes into detail on the underlying issues behind the banking collapse, etc.

[Turborama]

21. K&R Excellent news! I hope someone uploads the whole show to YouTube n/t

[ihavenobias]

39. I'm not sure if it'll be streamed at tyt.com but I expect YouTube excerpts at the very least. n/t
