Great rant. Telling how Fox employs the leading GOP presidential candidates.

1. Sneak preview

I've talked to the FOX makeup artist about their upcoming one-on-one with the President. Looks like the have Gibbs' buy-in:

[libodem]

2. Preaching

To the choir on this point. Well said and much needed commentary about the obvious (at least to those of us on DU) Faux is fake. Take heed rest of the world.

[wcast]

3. Cenk needs his own show

Will the rest of the "media" report this? I hope so!

[activa8tr]

4. This is Cenk at his BEST !!! I hope Cenk gets to go permanent at MSNBC

I love this guy.

[Turborama]

5. Kicked and Thoroughly Recommended!

Is there any way to get the full show in one go? I wish I could get MSNBC where I live but I can't and I really want to see the whole show instead of short segments.

Thanks for posting, Prof. :hi:

8. You can watch it online thru a Live Stream @ 6pm each day (for the week)

I dont have MSNBC either but tune in each day to watch...its definitely better to watc it live...the segments dont give the full picture.
Every MSNBC live stream link seems to use the same one so here is one: http://www.watchfomny.com/Video/USA/03/msnbc/msnbc-live.htm
I end up going to the main site and using the Popup window link so i can watch it full screen while working on my other screen without that annying flash auto-resize when clicking away. :hi:

6. What really boggles the mind

is why anyone making 50k/year would give these vipers anytime whatsoever. Oh and where is the outrage about the pentagon mosque?

Is America really this dumb?

[olegramps]

15. Yes, unfortunately a large and growing segment is.

[dotymed]

17. Oh Yes

Fox "news" is pushing hard for an "idiocracy." I am blue in the face....REINSTATE THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE and most of this propaganda would have to stop.

[pleah]

7. K&R

9. K&R!

[Enthusiast]

10. Way to go, Cenk!

This is why no Democrat should appear on a Fox 'News' TV program. Why give them credibility?

CNN would be well advised to abandon the Fox News path to success.

11. K&R! Cenk has been stellar on The Ed Show...

:patriot:

[geckosfeet]

12. Well that should get a huge rec from every du'er.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

13. Rec #30

Cenk cuts right to the chase. Am forwarding this to a friend who tells me he likes to get "both sides".

[Jim Sagle]

14. k to the r

16. The norm..

for over 100 years was for news to come from newspapers, pamphlets, etc that were expressly partisan. It worked because the reader was clear on that and didn't expect balance. Balance came from reading more than one side's media.
As a child and teen in Chicago we had 4 daily newspapers: 2 Democratic ; and 2 Republican. There were no he said/she said interviews and you figure out who to believe. It was transparent about the ideas and biases of those considered newsworthy.
A lot of that was changed in the early part of the 20th century when writers from both sides got hired and wrote for one paper. Then there were also the non-partisans who just tried to tell everyone the things they didn't want to hear. Mike Royko was my here there.
