By Matt Hadro (NewsBusters)

Cenk Uygur, host of the left-wing internet talk show 'http://www.youtube.com/user/TheYoungTurks|The Young Turks>,' filled in for MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan during the 4PM ET hour on Wednesday and decried the nation's "shift to the Right."

...He wondered why the media hadn't reported on the supposed radical shift in American politics and quickly came up with this explanation: "Why the media didn't challenge it is because they kept calling them the liberal media, and why did they call them that? Because during civil rights, they said 'yeah, black people and white people are the same' and the conservatives at the time said 'damn liberal media,' and, you know, that intimidated the media into not recognizing this trend."

Uygur's liberal guests, author Linda Monk and Wesleyen University professor Claire Potter did not disagree...

5. K&R and this is bullshit.

Cenk was just bringing up the tough issues that he frequently does, which are the reason we tune in. Obviously, these yahoos aren't familiar with the man or his format. I thought he was terrific substituting for Ratigan and hope we see more of him. And, no, I don't want a damn bumper sticker!!! :grr:

6. And Nixon played the liberal bias card to defend his criminal abuse of power.

It has always been a scam and it will be repeated endlessly until all of the media is exactly like Fox.

Any chance you guys can create a special play list for this? There's so many clips all over the place it's difficult to work out what to watch.
