I pretty much agree. Cenk seems like a mostly normal kind of guy, but he's almost as much of a shill as Jones. He supported the intervention in Libya for example, and is a Clinton supporter. The whole thing seemed relatively staged to me. Jones says he was invited to come on the TYT show, and at the beginning of the video, you can see a lady directing him to the set. (Whether she's really associated with TYT or not, I don't know.) So I wouldn't be surprised if both sides wanted a little drama, and it got way out of hand. Jones as usual is a total troll. But seriously, if Jones crashed MY show like that, I'd say, "Yeah, nice t-shirt, I agree the Clintons are horrible people. So is Trump. Now get off my stage." Cenk's face when he saw the t-shirt was priceless. Is he really that naive?
There's only one nutcase in this encounter (or two, if you include Stone). Just contrast AJ's grin (duper's delight?) with Cenk's clear distress...
Cenk
is pro-Hillary, but the Young Turks' YT channel has
loads of videos/interviews on her crimes. He has said that she is the lesser of two evils, which may or may not be true, but he isn't 'a Hillary supporter'.
What he's saying
here, for example, is that things will still be bad under Hillary, but at least they won't be utterly disastrous. In other words, philosophically, he'd like for the center to hold, whereas we are quite happy to see it give way because it means 'the end is nigh' for the horrific overall global state of affairs. In this respect, Cenk is the real patriot because he cares about his fellow Americans (who are most likely going to bear the brunt of the coming turmoil), but because of his nationalist, western-centric programming (which is ubiquitous and thus understandable) he can't clearly see the global picture and the true horror of America's role in it.
That's actually why I support Trump; he is 'the Joker' which Jones accuses Obama of being, basically projecting onto him the very personality type he'd like to see come to power - a mendacious, neanderthal-like moron like himself.
Roger Stone, by the way, is the author of
The Clintons' War on Women, a bestseller among US conservatives. I started reading it, but Stone's claims of both Clintons routinely raping women then threatening their lives (and even having them killed) have almost nothing to back them up.
So I think we shouldn't lose sight of the fact here that Cenk and his team are incomparably more objective (in general) than Alex 'Jarhead' Jones, who is certifiable.
And if I'm a commie shill for saying that, then please do send your complaints to my boss at the Kremlin :D
