You can't make this stuff up.

An extreme progressive vs "traditional" media?

When he ventures into national television by landing the 6 PM timeslot on MSNBC, Cenk’s uncensored brand of journalism is compromised as he becomes a thorn in the side of traditional news media; his unwavering dedication to speaking the truth puts him at the very nexus of the battle between new and old media.

 Not too surprising since it's coming from the Daily Beast and it is Cenk. The man think's some sort of revolutionary leader. In case he doesn't know, the "traditional" media leans left - apparently not left enough according to him. There two main non-left leaning news outlets: Fox News and Wall Street Journal. Then again the left always thinks the world is against them and they were never good with numbers, at least accurately making sense of them.

I wonder if you ask Cenk who on a fast break is outnumbered - the person defending or the players transitioning to offense. He'll probably say the later group.

According to Cenk's wiki page -

Uygur was born and raised in a Sunni Muslim family, but is now a self-described "fervent agnostic".^[2][54] In 2010, along with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Uygur accepted the "Emperor Has No Clothes Award" from the Freedom From Religion Foundation and later the Humanist Media Award from the American Humanist Association.^[55][56] He is now married to Wendy Lang Uygur, a marriage and family therapist. The Uygurs are the parents of one son, born in July 2010,^[57] and a daughter, born in October 2012.^[58] Cenk has stated that he grew up a fan of the Fenerbahçe soccer team.^[59]

His wiki page also states that he's an Ivy league alum, graduating from University of Pennsylvania for undergrad and then Columbia University for a master's. He admits that he wasn't always a progressive: He voted Republican before switching to the (D). It also states that he though the GOP became more extreme after GWB's tenure as president. This doesn't make sense because the GOP is slowly turning into (D) Lite. After hearing Cenk talk in a couple of videos I'm left to believe he really had not clue what he was talking about when he made that remark. It's disingenuous to paint his story as "right to left" since he really wasn't on "the right."

A self proclaimed "fervent agnostic," married (I don't understand why secularists get married since marriage is basically a very, as one modernist puts it - archaic practice), uber leftie and thinks that the MSM is "traditional." So typical.
