there is a new party in town called the justice democrats
Lets see ....grass roots movement or TYT making you believe it is a grass roots movement.
We have a " fan" who sent in this video and I love it... It is his own organization.
The Justice Democrats are a political action committee[1] founded on January 23, 2017, by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks,
Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk, and
former leadership from the 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign.
Its stated goal of reforming the Democratic Party by running "a unified campaign to replace every corporate-backed member of Congress and rebuild the [Democratic] party from scratch" starting in the 2018 Congressional midterm elections.[2][3]
The Justice Democrats have been described as attempting to create a left-wing populist movement analogous to the right-wing Tea Party movement.[4]

InfoWar's Alex Jones Has Nothing On Tuck Buckford
If AJ really is faking it all, that puts a whole new spin on his confrontation with Cenk from TYT during the election.
RT -- Chris Hedges on Media, Russia and Intelligence
@newtboy
i agree in theory,but disagree in practice.
as i stated in my comment:discernment.
it appears we approach news and journalism differently.
i do not consume the institution,but rather the individual reporter.which is why i will watch a report by shepard smith from FOX,but ignore anything by tucker carlson or bill o'reilly.
the HUGE mistake you make about hedges,is just that,an assumption.
chris hedges mistake.
is the same mistake that other media personalities have made,such as cenk uynger when he was on MSNBC.
hedges criticized power.
in fact,in the run up to the iraq war hedges was pushing out story after story that was highly critical of the bush administration,and..ironically..was using the very intelligence reports that you mentioned.he was challenged by the new york times editorial board to either cease and desist,or face disciplinary action.
he chose to retain his integrity,and honor his father (great story right there,he always chokes up when telling it) and walked away from a successful career,full of adulation and respect,rather than bow at the foot of the kings throne and kiss the feet of the powerful.
the man has guts,in spades,and i admire him very much.
but if you think my opnion is biased,then let us take phil donahue who was hosting the most popular show on the newly founded MSNBC.
he too,was critical of the bush administration and had guests on that were countering the avalanche of white house narratives flooding the cable news networks.
he was fired,while simultaneously hosting the most popular and highest rated shows on MSNBC.
what i am saying,is exactly what hedges is saying:
criticize power and you will be branded,blacklisted and shunned from the "mainstream media".you will be relegated to the fringe for your defiance to power.
/chuckles..i find it interesting that pretty much everybody uses the term "mainstream media" to epitomize:lazy journalism,propaganda,fake news and yet the media THEY choose to consume..well...thats not mainstream at all.the media THEY choose to consume is top notch journalism.
i am not saying my choices are right,but i do choose them carefully.i do not subscribe to institutions but rather individuals who have proven the test of proper journalistic integrity:chris hedges,matt taibbi,bill moyers,henry giroux,laura poitrus,jeremy scahill,amy goodman,paul jay
you may notice that every one of these people are critical of power,and that..my friend..is the basic premise of the fourth estate.
the washington post,along with the new york times and wall street journal have become rags.just my opinion,feel free to disagree.
TYT - How to Rebuild the Democratic Party
I agree with his 5 points completely, but I am optimistic that it will be easier to swing back the other direction in 2018 (midterms) or 2020 than he thinks.
Trump got a lot of angry, disenchanted voters to swing his direction because a complete question mark sounded better to them than Clinton's known-quantity establishment. But if he doesn't follow through for them (which is essentially impossible in many cases for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is self-contradictory stances/promises that can't ALL be followed) much of that support will collapse fast.
IF the Democratic Party gets its act together semi-quickly and follows at least some of Cenk's ideas, they can ride the wave the other direction.
The Young Turks - Republicans' Obstructionism Worked A Charm
Cenk is about to be a very big target of the new authoritarian regime's aspiration to criminalize the free press.
The Young Turks - Who Will Be In Trump's Cabinet
Cenk Uygur can become tiresome, but he was pretty good last night in their coverage and kept my attention well, i was actually quite impressed. I really don't care for the rest of the lineup though. The guy on the right is the epitome of impotent rage, stumbling over his words, making complicated points poorly, a fretting, nervous, often very pink man in an ill fitting suit. At times reminded me of the main character from Limitless at his drug-binge/mental breakdown apex, with tight claustrophobia inducing collars riding up around his neck, the crispness of which contrasting and highlighting the beads of sweat, speaking too quickly and spitting. The guy on the left thinks he's 10 times cooler than he is, which is all the more annoying because he is actually a little bit cool - if he didn't think he was so cool, he'd be pretty cool! I could handle Sarkeezian's imperious hauteur - hell i'd find it very attractive - if it wasn't so obviously an act. She found herself compelled to leave the studio for a stiff drink at some point, presumably to bask in the moment when she theatrically interrupted the depleted panel and announced her actions proudly, claiming she was now in a feisty mood before ranting at types of people she blamed. I even think she used some kind of tv-friendly profanity; if you have the wherewithal to soft-censor your 'uncontrolled' outburst, you're faking it. Whatever kind of Don Draper scene she'd staged to pad her portfolio of career highlights, her disappointing final rant meandered down well trodden paths.

One thing I am looking forward to are good polemics as part of the election's post-mortem. In terms of video footage, both Cenk and Kyle over at TYT and Secular Talk respectively went off the rails quite nicely. But the good stuff, the really good stuff, will trickle in, and exclusively in written form.
Lambert over at NC makes a decent start, given his lack of sleep:
And even better, Jeffrey St. Clair's election coverage over at CounterPunch.
The Young Turks - Republicans' Obstructionism Worked A Charm
I think Cenk nails it here. Democrats didn't fight. They took blame for Republican obstructionism. So little of Clinton's campaign was about Trump's bankruptcy / incompetence, all about his bigotry which just riled up his base.
Who is Cenk Uygur voting for?
So I'm at 3 minutes and Cenk has laid out a (pretty reasonable IMHO) argument about why he's voting Hillary.
Any reason I need to watch the next 16 minutes?
'cos TYT still really needs an editor who understands the word "concise"...
TYT Connecting the dots on Clinton Foundation corruption
Who is Cenk Uygur voting for? has been added as a related post - related requested by iaui.
TYT Connecting the dots on Clinton Foundation corruption
This was a fascinating video.
I agree with @dplint that the video where Cenk discusses who he is voting for is important, too:

New PROOF Bernie Sanders Actually WON The Primary (Probably)
Anyone else having trouble getting past how unappealing he is? Never mind that its RT that has its own credibility issues, he speaks as if he's already a bonified voice of truth. Sorry bud, Cenk you are not.
Info Wars/Alex Jones vs TYT/Cenk Uygur
It's easy to speak about not getting mad, but it's hard not getting mad around such a gigantic flailing penis like Alex Jones. I wish Cenk wouldn't have lost his temper, but that's what these dangerous morons do to normal people.
Info Wars/Alex Jones vs TYT/Cenk Uygur
yes. if cenk had half a brain he could have work jones over. but he doesn't. this was just 2 children trying to assert domination on the playground.
The sad thing is that Cenk sank to his level. You don't give Alex Jones the respect of getting mad at him.
