  • If you want to know more about why the press works this way read Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Noam Chomsky. Thumbs up!

  • I think about 30% of Americans still believe the bogus 9/11 WTC & Pentagon stories.

  • wow,michael without a beard? lol

  • Looked like he was about to rip time and space

  • Cenk = passionate speaker.

  • USA TODAY you suck balls!!!!! Lol that should be on a TYT t shirt with Cenk's face on it lol I would buy that.

  • This is the best rant i have seen in a long time! Couldn't stop laughing when he brought out the newspaper. Well done Cenk! :)

  • that. was. OHHWWSOME

  • A classic!!!

  • I LOVE CENK

  • USA TODAY YOU SUCK BALLS!!! LOL

  • lmao

  • Pre-Obama i thought cenk was a moron. This and other recent things he has said have made me see i was wrong to judge him so. He is spot on....Althought it is the american peoples fault for not being well informed..the media is a huge problem.

  • Cenk's right. It's not the curiosity of the people that matter on an issue. If the people don't know, how are they supposed to be curious about something?! It's called Dunning-Kruger. If people don't know, it's the media's job to let us know whether we want to hear it or not.

    Cenk's absolutely right, and that's why TYT gets it right.

  • You know when jesus died? 2000 YEARS AGO!!!

    lolol Cenk is hilarious.

  • eat your heart out glenn beck

  • same he's not allowed to be like this anymore

  • lololol.. look at this cenk losing his shit..

    Jayar Jackson FTW

  • GOD DAAMMNIT THEY FAILED US. Fucking epic quote.

    Cenk is the ONLY reason im still subscribed!

  • YOUNG TÜRKS!

    GOD FORBID YOU CENK ;)

  • ADAMIM SÜPERSIN!!

    YOU'R THE BEST!!!

  • I think Phil Davidson saw this video!

  • USA TODAY Sux Ballz! Should be used as a soundclip on TYT!

  • young turds

  • @StonewallJackson26 my god, you are so witty, no one has every said that before

    fucking vaginal discharge

  • @DaytonaRoadster Y O U N G T U R D S

  • Did someon say... Sparta remix!!!

  • @TheYoungTurks

    I honestly didn't think I could respect you guys any more than I already do...

    and then, because of the "known right-wing leaning Jayar Jackson's" shameful attack video,

    I seek out the origin of specific clips, find this, and all can say is...

    MORE OF THIS!!!

  • "YOU'RE GODDAM WRONG, BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE. Young Turks."

  • why would that many people think Sadam was responsible in the first place? He was never really accused of it, was he? Everybody knew it was Al Qaeda straight away. Is this an assumption that people made or was it in the media?

  • @InnocenceExperience I might be making a random stab at it but I'm sure it has to go along the lines of

    "DAMN MIDDLE EASTERNERS!! ISLAM!!!! NUKE THE FUCKIN DESERT SO IT WILL BE GLASS-LAND"

  • Comment removed

  • @InnocenceExperience Al Qaeda yes...and all from Saudi Arabia. That was the interesting part. The US citizens allowed Bush to invade Afghanistan....and never go directly after Bin Laden. Bush did nothing about the fact that they were ALL from Saudi Arabia. Instead, he invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.....both very oil-related places. There was alot of interest in running an oil pileline through Afghanistan. I'm not saying I know the truth...but the whole thing was fishy...

  • @InnocenceExperience Iraq had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the attack. No one talked about that connection....until Bush introduced the idea of attaching Iraq based on WMD stuff. There was alot going on at the time in regards to allowing inspectors into the country to check on their nuclear program. The big fuss was always in regards to that..This is where the WMD stuff came into play. The clincher is that there was no UN support....as the evidence was NOT clear at all.

  • I'm just here b/c of the 'Twitter Wars'  between Cenk and Jayar . . .

  • Hahahahahahahahah!! (butthead)

  • I was waiting for Cenk to say " I drive a Dodge Stratus!"

  • Anyone else skip the other guy to get to Cenk?

    best part 3:36

  • i didnt know tyt was on this long...

  • @Yukikazehalo crystal clear video quality

  • @Yukikazehalo Yeah, I think that was when they were still doing Air America.

  • Cenk is right though, just sayin'!

  • I wish they brought up the statistic about how many American's thought Barack Hussein Obama was a member of Al Qaeda

  • Damn, I'd love Jill Pike to tity fuck my cock.

  • Comment removed

  • I hate Cenk but he just got two points on my side for saying "YOU SUCK BALLZ"

  • Cenk is fucking badass, i miss this passion

  • Sam kennison comes up mind

  • respect to micheal for standing his ground. someone like him and steve need to be around to prevent cenk becoming too biased (like limbaugh for example). but still, micheal is ALWAYS way too soft on most of the issues.

  • ... I just shit in my pants a little bit.

  • Lol Cenk wants newspapers to cover stories that haven't happened HAHA

  • @ciaranreaper ok dopey

  • @ciaranreaper What??????  WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT????

  • This video just sent chills up my spine. Cenk expressed just how I felt about that damn war back then and I did not even know he existed at that time. I can't even put into words how much more I respect Cenk now. TYT is the best end of story . .

  • Comment removed

  • Came here because of the twitter video. Saw a new side of Cenk.

    Lol'd.

  • What a grandstanding loudmouth. A guy who was a GOP staffer & supporter. A guy who supported Reagan & Bush Sr. A guy who was pro-life and anti feminist. A guy who admired Rush Limbaugh and tried to get a job himself as a conservative talk show host. Couldn't do it, so finds a niche in liberal internet broadcasting. Now, this articulate charlatan has his impressionable audience lapping up everything he says, not knowing the very same guy they now worship would have ridiculed them in the past.

  • @hofifut Really? Twelve years ago I was a conservative, too. Obviously people are totally incapable of changing their minds, ever. Get something more recent than two decades old.

  • @hofifut i give you that he was in deed a GOP supporter - but where you terribly fail is in your assumption that sb., i.e. Cenk, could never ever change his opinion!

    he always told his audience that he was a republican in college, so where is your problem? that YOU can not comprehend how someone could ever change in hijs views? that's sad, man. most people don't share the exact views they had in their early 20's - only conservatives never "evolve", not even in opinion. poor you!

  • @hofifut It's called a change in opinion that was able to take place after analyzing the facts of this world and this country. You are such a sad individual if you honestly think that what he was saying in this video is somehow false. Everything he said is an absolute fact and just because you can't fucking accept that, you try to justify your opinion with smear of Cenk, trying to make others think that he is in it just for the money. Sorry not everyone is so self centered as you Reps

  • @Naminator236

    Michael said the NY Times quoted Bush at a news conference admitting Saddam Hussein wasn't responsible for 9/11, and that the story was front page, above the fold, essentially saying media does cover it. Then blowhard Cenk talks over him like a bully, ignoring his point, and brings up what was in another paper in Sept 2006, where they quoted Bush saying the country was safer. Actually check the record... many news outlets reported fairly what your President admitted in Aug 2006

  • @hofifut So, for how many years did Bush insinuate that Saddam WAS responsible? How did Fox News play it all out? HOw did the US public fall for such a farce as to actually invade Iraq??? Canadians were so clear that it was a farce., Obviously, the US media and poltiicians communicated a very irresponsible message.

  • @paulfornasier Bang on. Although I have to say, a lot of Canadians though for the longest time that we were in Iraq too.  Main stream media is a huge failure everywhere. Regardless, no one here was dumb enough to think that Saddam Husein took part in 9/11. Wasn't the whole premise that they had WMDs??? People are so stupid that they can't even remember why their own army invaded another country in the first place. George Orwell was so damn right.

  • @enlightenedone676 The main reason given for the invasion was the ultimatum Bush laid for dismantling ballistic missles, because supposedly Iraq could use them to attack Israel. Saddam dismantled them, but he did so after the date in the ultimatum, so we invaded anyways. WMD's really only became the main focus as a justification afterwards.

  • @tiberianfiend Interesting. But still a pretty lame excuse considering the likelihood of Iraq actually using them. After the Gulf War, Iraq essentially had no airforce and its army was laughable. I just can't see a country, who's military is almost entirely dismantled, attacking a country that has so much US support.

  • @hofifut spoken like a true idiot conservative punk bitch

  • @hofifut Interesting stuff...but quite stupid to hold someone to one point in their life. You forget that we often have ideals when we are young that get quite shattered over time. For me, I have conservative values fiscally....but do you think that means that I would vote for a known Canadian or US right wing party...i.e. Consevative or GOP/Tea Party?? A vote for the right wing these days is a vote for massive corruption and corporate deception / domination. Doesn't help me at all!

  • love when he reps "young turks" at the end with authority.

  • Cenk is the best. He is worst nightmare to the establishment media.

  • someone mix regular with decaf...

  • For the longest time I thought I was the only person who was enraged by the government and mainstream media, then I discovered Cenk.

  • Daym that's an angry cenk

  • Cenk's right, but the reason it wasn't covered is because the establishment likes the wars and doesnt want it to be known. Exactly the same thing happening to Ron Paul today in the press, and in the media.

  • Jayar Jackson for life.

  • WIN.

  • Cenk is the man, TYT!

  • you people are socialist losers.

  • @randyfloyd07 Go back to watching fox news kid. This show is for adults.

  • @Stingerbillion

    really, this is how adults are supposed to act?

  • @randyfloyd07 Yeah, 'cause you SHOULD be angry!

  • Hahahahaha

  • "USA TODAY YOU SUCK BALLS!" D:

  • Damnit Cenk I'm getting a boner from your epic arguments.And that's exactly what I do when I"m arguing something important,though I don't say my name or "Young Turks" in the end xD.I love how you lose your shit,I would too. "Young Turks!"

    Sincerely,your biggest fan.

  • Wow, I don't think I have EVER seen Cenk so pissed and I've seen him pissed many times.

  • YOUNG TURKS ! (video ends) i start to cry

  • WOW! Who Is The Super Cute Girl In The Glasses?

  • Wow, Michael has really changed over the years. Cenk too, but not has dramatically.

  • i love a man doing his job good. what i do not love is a man having illusions about the environment he lives in. corporate america differs not a tiny bit from corporate germany of 1933 supporting adolf hitler. and the bush clan was famous for funding adolf hitler. look up prescot bush and manhattan chase. USA today (the country AND the paper) behaves like a nazi franchise.

  • YOUNG TURKS!!!!!!!

  • USA TODAY, YOU SUCK BALLS!

  • fuck a rocky montage i wanna fucking destroy somebody now, cenk should be a motivational speaker haha

  • or the people are just stupid.

  • I love the “YOUNG TURKS” while shoving the mic away!

  • Either way, it's a fact that the US press is as money-corrupt as corporatist politicians. They spread misinformation, propaganda, and selectively choose what stories to not cover; all based on what is the most profitable.

    Defense contractors want wars for profit, so they lobby politicians and the mainstream media. That promotes their get-rich-quick schemes and provides an enormous return on their investment, which results in even more influence in politics and press; rinse and repeat. :/

  • epic shit...right here

  • Finish in style. "YOUNG TURKS!"

  • we need this shit again lol

  • @JagjeetMann I don't think Current would be happy with Cenk getting as animated as this too often. :P

  • i think Micheal is right on this issue but dam i love cenk when he goes basaltic

  • @NiGHTSS01 he is fucking not, everybody are not interested in any kind of politics or news, how would they go find out by themselves if the newspapers dont even fucking cover what they are supposed to find out?

  • ah good times <3 cenk

  • It's happening again with the National Defense Authorization Act. Most Americans don't even know what the hell that is. Nightly News with Brian Williams didn't mention it a single fucking time. TV News is a disgrace to journalism.

  • @belshazzar64 I know, its really creepy. Even when the news networks mention NDAA, they do it in such a subtle quick way as if its a minor headline to fill time.

  • Cenk flips out at 43% of Americans believing a lie.

    Bill O'Reilley flips out at having to say a commonly used phrase.

  • Lol...it's 'virgin' Michael Shure.

  • Holy shit.. this video makes me wish Cenk was born in america cause id vote him for president. YOUNG TURKS!!! hah fucking gold sir!

  • Next time McDonalds gets my order wrong:

    "McDonalds employee.....YOU SUCK BALLS, YOU ARE A TERRIBLE FAST FOOD CHAIN"

  • Kicking that shit oldschool.

  • i was just as angry back then, i knew how damaging this war was, yet our administration continued to lie after lie after lie after lie and the right wing media bought every word of it over and over and over, bush was the worst president in the history goddammnit & im more angrier today knowing that these basterds got away with it, the whole administration and the polititions who rooted for the war, got away with it!!

  • @EyEnOtgAy The media wasn't blind, they knew what was happening. The fact that they choose to ignore what Bush administration was doing is outrageous. Journalism is about finding the truth and holding EVERYONE accountable, not covering what's best for your career.

  • Shire looks so young lol

  • Hahaha this is AWWWsome!

  • check my videos and join my dictatorship

  • Cenk is my hero! His anger is righteous!

  • damn cenk was cold visious back in 06

  • I hope Cenk apologized to Michael after this.

  • Comment removed

  • @joshhill212 That's not Ben Mankiewicz, it's Michael Shure.

  • @Gayboose WOW, I know that, I have been watching The Young Turks for years, they played this clip on there current show last night, and I wanted to watch the whole thing so I looked it up while I was typing my comment Ben was talking on the show so I was thinking Ben in my mind and accidentally typed his name instead of Mikes lol thanks for alerting me to my mistake

  • @joshhill212 No problem, even if you were being a little sarcastic. We Young Turks have to look after each other!

  • @Gayboose oh don't take my comment the wrong way I wasn't being sarcastic me saying thank you was truly sincere, because yeah the TYT army has to stick together & have each others back, I was only talking that way because I was kicking myself for making such an obvious mistake

  • So what are you trying to say?

  • I was expecting a HUGE fight!

  • easy killer

  • I love you Cenk! You're awesome. I wish the mainstream media showed the same passion as you do. But they just feed us the lies that the corporations make them tell. And the sad thing is, they start to believe them too....

  • YOUNG TURKS!

    /out

  • Here from the mention in the video "Road Rage or Intermittent Explosive Disorder?", 0:55.

  • #rape

  • I bet that was the most awkward break ever at TYT. id love to hear the rest of that show LOL

  • lol....I love Cenk. But I really can't believe Mike would even argue. Cenk is 1000% right.

  • wow... speechless...

  • Wow!!!

  • Speaking of misleading headlines, how come the title of this video says nothing about what Cenk is going ballistic about? D:

  • i think cenk took that one out of Alex Jones's playbook

  • EPICCCCCCCCCC

  • lol that was pretty great. I don't always agree with Cenk. He can sometimes be very annoying with the way he tries to make his point, but that was awesome...

  • "you suck balls!" haha

  • Wow. It's a young, beardless Michael Shure.

  • Imagine how he must get with his wife

  • Holy shit, this is AWESOME

    

  • Gotta love this...Cenk went in on that guy lol

  • horey shite

  • Damn, first time seeing this. FANTASTIC!

  • Wow, Cenk is one passionate guy.

    Inspiring.

  • Let's see this Cenk on the CurrentTv show!!!!!

  • This is incredible. Hahahaha.

  • This is quite clearly a case of IED.

  • OMG!

  • "YOU SUCK BALLS!!!" Cenk you are my hero :)

  • Well you can't accuse them of overstating this in the title.

  • LOL CENK WENT BALLISTIC

  • "YOUNG TURKS!" Haha

    Of course Cenk was totally right

  • well done cenk

  • lmao this nigga spazzed out damn.

  • I like Cenk with this passion on doing news, he needs to show it more often.

  • i loooooooove this video

  • Going right to my favorite list. He was right.

  • i feel like i should apologize to cenk here but i dont know what for!

  • 121 of USAToday's staff writer's dislike this video.

  • let em have it cenk

  • Holy shit nuggets I thought he's been outraged before but oh my God he exploded. EXPLODED!!! Lol, nice touch saying "The Young Turks" right before shoving the mic away.

  • YOU SHOULD BE ANGRY. YOUNG TURKS. and then what they cut out is... "FOR THE WIN."

  • i think Ben should have presented clips of the media

  • Cenk abi skerrrrrrrrr agirrr olun ulannnn

  • 200 B.C.?? 2011??? History shows nothing has changed about people. Most people are still ignorant.

  • Here's your answer: The neo-cons want to deceive the American people into thinking that there's this big bad threat out there. After the Berlin Wall came down, it's no longer the Russians, now it's a "War on Terrorism". And it will NEVER END. They want to increase the military-industrial complex and keep us afraid. Misinformation and fear are their tools to tyranny. The less we know, the less power we have. This is how you control sheep.

  • USA Today you suck BALLS!!!! hahahahahahah

  • Illegal substances?

  • Its such a depressing topic but I can't watch this clip without smiling at Cenk's rage. The irony is the newspapers are all dyeing now and not just because of the internet but because they lost the trust of the public.

  • This was awesome. I guess Michael has always been the devil's advocate haha

  • Cenk is gold when he's pissed. For the win.

  • Apparently 121 people still read USA Today.

  • My God, I love Cenk in this.

  • Wo......

    That.

    Was.

    Awesome.

  • anyone who says Cenk is right is likely the same person who voted "yes" in that CNN poll saying that Saddam was involved in 9/11. The press will always be.. the press. It's Americans' lack of discernment (just like the other truthfully said) that's led to these laughable poll numbers.

  • 43% still is brainwashed. Go Cenk tell them ball suckers the truth. xD
