[Peace-discuss] Signs of more serious media corruption

notes here.]

* Why Cenk Uygur left MSNBC after refusing to "tone it down"
*
I was partial to Cenk not just because he is a Turk. He was also
one of the sharpest critics of the DP on MSNBC despite being--in
the final analysis--just another DP spokesperson.

For the last week or so, Al Sharpton has been hosting his 6pm
show. At first I thought Cenk was on vacation but it turns out
that he was too critical of Obama and the other rightwing assholes
in the DP. All he wanted was the DP to be more liberal. Fat chance
of that.

For those not familiar with American politics, Sharpton is an
African-American one-time FBI informant and "radical" street
demonstration organizer in NYC. He has "matured" into a total DP
hack who can be called upon to spin Obama's latest rightwing
offensive against workers and the Black community.

Here's Cenk's take on what happened:
