TYT: Cenk brings it on: 5 year olds with guns. [View all]

Last edited Sun May 5, 2013, 06:24 AM - Edit history (2)

I have been a big fan of The Young Turks for some time. Cenk Uygur is one of the good guys and has put together a damned good media empire.

Here he talks about the tragic killing of a two year old by her five year old rifle-owning brother.

This is new media at its best. Highly recommended!
