I haven't agreed with anything as completely as this in a while. No amount of jail time could repay the wrongs these judges have done.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Skeeve.

He's only facing up to 12 years for that?

OK, now I'm angry - And I don't even live in the US of A

Cenk is "Pissed"

I wanted to put WTF but I ran out of channels.

Let's hope he goes to a "pound me in the ass" prison.

God, I hate TYT. Why the fuck is their audio recording so shitty? My cell phone has better clarity than these morons' set-up.

Also, why the fuck can't I just watch a newsclip?

Believing in our system doesn't change the fact that it needs some serious work if it's going to have any chance of actually working in the long run. We're going to destroy ourselves eventually on the path we're running.

Because Cenk is in New York, talking via PolyCom back to their Los-Angeles studio. Previously, they were using Skype while he was over there, which was just a god-awful experience; constantly breaking up or cutting out.

Why isn't it better? Well... I guess despite TYT turning over $1 million a year from member fees, advertising and YouTube partnership, their 11 employees and bandwidth costs must be expensive. The stream from the LA studio itself has improved over what it was a couple of years ago and the YouTube clips are generally much higher quality.

I dunno. For a non-corporate media outlet, I think they do okay.

What do I win?

I have a family member who is a judge here (not US), and to think about what those assholes have been doing sickens me to my core.

It's already bad enough if a judge can be corrupted into letting a guilty person go free, but getting paid to jail innocent or at the very least people who wouldn't be jailed otherwise is just inhuman.

This is what you get when you privatize justice or portions of the justice system.

Um, I wasn't talking about Cenk. Even Tits McGee's audio is terrible. Also, bandwidth? What bandwitdth are they paying for? Last I checked, Youtube was free. >> ^BoneyD:

i like their information, but aside from the sound and production values, the presentation of information is abysmal. listening to someone give an opinion on a matter where half the words are "um," "uh," "basically," "ok?" "alright?" or "you know," is tiring and from a sheer time/cost perspective, a waste. a more eloquent speaker would be the greatest improvement in both quality and viewership.

They broadcast their whole 2 hour show on the site, looping 24 hours a day. Statsholic shows ~45k unique visitors a day and similar from freewebsitereport. How much data they actually use, I have no idea; but I didn't suggest that bandwidth was their sole expense.

BTW, I had watched this segemnt from the live stream. When I went back and watched this YT clip, it was WAY clearer. Is it 1080p? No. But does it really, really need to be that good?

I suppose you make a point there. I just mainly hate them because all they seem to do is talk about news, show you a clip, and talk about it some more. I'd rather just watch the news.

Yeah I hear that. They've not really changed much from that approach to the show; i.e commentating on what the media has said. Cenk's said in the past he'd love to be able to hire a proper reporter. On the other hand, I've learned a lot from Cenk over the years on how to decifer what a politician is saying versus what they mean.

I find Ana makes some really fine observations, but she can also be a total ditz at times. Man, every time she makes 'jokes' about how hot she is... ಠ_ಠ

This was a story about the horrors of what happens when you migrate a core state function to a for-profit entity. Amazingly, people with a profit motive running the prisons didn't result in high-quality, effective justice!
