Media Covers Attractive Members Of Congress More - Study

[lizard944]

I think the bigger story is the jew studying American politics THAT closely. Haven't they stolen enough of our gov't and military documents not to mention our technology?  I'll vote for any candidate willing to cut off the israeli parasites.

[TrunksChan]

Cenk, your comments on attractiveness of political figures is really getting unprofessional. Stop that.

[SempeVeritas]

Lol! Those last comments by Cenk were super-funny! Really made me laugh. More comedy like this please! :D

[zaggers77]

Dick Cheney isn't an option for who sucked the soul out of McConnell.

[donnyaldridge]

I focused on Anna's tits...

[TheFryingpanofdoom]

researchers of isreali find that the media wants to click an interesting thumbnail and find an interesting movie. Not click an intesting thumbnail and watch some stupid bitch loosing her nuvaring over some big nosed bastard talking bout fox.

[MrAdamkidding]

@DeepSouth16 alright deepsouth...

[PsychoBurgundy6]

Sooooo... Where are the attractive candidates?

[greycloud24]

i prefer watching attractive to unattractive people. what do you know? turns out there is a reason they are called "attractive" they tend to attract people. its kind of like saying that cats act more catty than dogs do. or perhaps that feminists tend to deal with feminine issues more than masculine ones. the plain out english word of "attractive" tends to make you think that the media as well as common people would be more attracted to them.

[itchykami]

he's more fish or amphibian.

[XPK36]

Did this study isolate for importance? Some congress critters are more important than others. One might be from a more influential state, on an important comittee or because they've done/said something important.

[gawzz]

Well, that must be why no one has heard of Ron Paul until a few months ago.

[Brizdyn]

Mitch looks like a turtle.

[acheybrenda]

Aw Cenk I think you are sexy. 

[JediFarce]

This is BS, I don't know how many times Barney Frank constantly popped up on the news and gay or not he was an ugly bastard.

[pookiewood]

LMAO! Mitch McConnel is an UGLY SOB!

[Smilefriendly1]

The answer is:

C) A Dementor

[trevordeke]

So say the attractive newspeople.

[franklindavid]

A good advertisment creates attention, collectively so does all forms of media that is intended to reach a large audience via mass communication.

[hyperboreean]

Goul, Goblin or ...Gollum?

[Finiras]

lulz @ ana saying that

[megandnelson]

B / A

[pstchaseki]

Mitch McConnell reminds me of the pale man creature from Pan's Labyrinth

[hofifut]

This is why Ana got a nose job.

[JediFarce]

@hofifut Man, shut up.

[Griffinltd]

@hofifut

Did she really?

[MobRulesNow]

He's the incredible, living, melting wax man.

He's almost through melting but not quite yet.

[DaHonestAbe]

I always thought Marsha Blackburn was kinda cute.

[holden614]

I would rather fuck Jaba the Hut! Only once, as a life choice. I wasn't born a Hutusexual, it was a life choice. So calm the fuck down, right wing.

[psyshock918]

Who's an attractive member of Congress?

[amfanmagician]

@psyshock918 Gabby Giffords is very pretty. Can't think of any others offhand, but I wonder what Nancy Pelosi looked like 30 years ago......

[FunnyRandomShitLoL]

If a turtle and a turkey had offspring and those offspring interbred you would get Mitch McConnell

[cheugon]

Wrong Cenk---Mitch McConnell A: no soul; and Mitch McConnell B: no soul.

[cristinarush]

is it also possible that these students who rated the members of congress voted for the people they recognized from the media as being the most attractive and didn't vote for others who may also be attractive because they didn't recognize them? I would be interested in knowing how this study was performed before I form my conclusion. IE how the question was presented, if all members of congress where represented ect...

[ByronC900]

Thanks Cenk, I nearly choked to death from laughing so hard,

[qwertyuiopaaaaaaa7]

I don't think people should complain about attractive people getting more benefits. The world is unfair and sometimes the battle isn't worth fighting. There's no point in complaining about things you can't change. We like attractive people because it's most beneficial for our species if we mate with a healthy and attractive partner. Unless a mad scientist wants to change what it means to be human, lets just accept that the majority of the population is second class.

[StewieSwan]

"sub-conscience"?

[alteredbeasts]

The devil doesn't "steal" souls, you hand it over willingly.

[jqsmith1452]

Mitch McConnell was Barty Crouch Jr. some years ago and had the looks of David Tennant to boot. Then the dementors performed the kiss and he became who he is today.

[TopGunOriginal]

There are attractive members in congress?!

[BarackMcBush]

Mitch McConnell is 1/2 turtle!

[aaronpolitical]

@BarackMcBush And that's his quick half.

[MortimerTheClueless]

Mitch McConnell looks so ugly because he is pure evil! When you sell out to The Devil (aka corporations), it causes your soul to rot -- and this expresses itself very visibly.

[69rdx]

damn the students' assignment was to rate people on attractiveness...sign me up for that class

[pooyan6969]

Wow! How shocking!

Cover good looking people in the public eye as opposed to trogloydyte looking people?

Who would have thought!

I wonder how much that research cost?

[FunnyRandomShitLoL]

I say a) the devil but Jesus made him think he was doing something good. Its like they're tag teaming in secret.

[eatmorenachos]

Oh come on Ceank, Mitch McConnell isn't a goblin----he's obviously a mutant turtle.

[eirefrance]

@eatmorenachos He does look a little like Vertle, Yertle's evil twin brother, doesn't he?

[DRB1892]

Makes sense. I didn't even realize there were dudes on TYT because I am looking at Anna's fine self the whole time.

[ETworldjone]

If Youtube is hell, then TYT is the centre of hell. The tagline of TYT should be: 'Devil's dear online channel'. And Cenk and his team would definitely consider it as a compliment.

[Longhornzrock96]

Fuck you Adam Lambert im not buying your shit music.

[FixedNewsChannel]

@Longhornzrock96 hahaha

[Moionfire]

I think the study is a joke. Most popular congressmen/women are the ones in leadership. And most people in leadership right now are NOT attractive. Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnel, Cantor, Boehenr garner the most coverage- and they are NOT attractive.

[baalisgod666]

Americans are stupid, vapid and shallow? Who knew?

[eirefrance]

@baalisgod666 Uh, way to pay attention to the word Israel in the beginning there.

[trajan74]

Def.

Mitch McConnel face-(see inbreeding, extensive result of)

[HammerSC2]

What is my subconscience Ana?

[JImmy4336]

I love Ana's new word.

[TheTruthNJ09]

We are not going to bring "herp", "derp", or any of their variations back into the spotlight because that light is weak; last week.

[Omellykim]

wow it took two Israeli professors???

herp derp

[PuppyXz]

What a cowynkydink!

[phprevot]

This could also mean that attractive congressmen want media attention more than the other ones.

[alphacause]

Let's face it. One of the reasons why Ana is featured prominently on The Young Turks is precisely because of the phenomenon she is referring to, where the media is fixated on putting up attractive people in order to garner ratings. Don't you think the producers at The Young Turks had this in mind when they promoted Ana to the position that she is in? I am sure she is definitely qualified, but I guarantee you her beauty helped her get an edge over other equally qualified candidates.

[ikweetnietook]

@alphacause Well Cenk is also a fatass, but I still love his show.

[DRB1892]

@ikweetnietook

Hahaha

[smurfx]

@alphacause most of the women on tyt are very attractive. 

[pinkycheeks]

@alphacause what about Misty?

[underbjorn]

@pinkycheeks ---

Misty the Pokemon gym leader?

[pinkycheeks]

@underbjorn i can't tell if you're being serious or not lol. but no, misty, the blonde anchor they use sparingly to present stories.

[XoXoSakuraKissXoXo]

@alphacause The thing is, Ana is also intelligent and brings a good female perspective. Exactly why they choose Ana over Misty.

[Athiest2009]

@alphacauseTrue that, her nose job also helps alot....

[alharthy86]

@alphacause i agree ... however u have to admit that she is also very smart, especially for her age, if im not mistaken shes not even 25 yet

[alphacause]

@alharthy86 I agree. She is a smart. I emphasized that she is "definitely qualified". What I am getting at is in modern journalism there are plenty of very qualified women, but it seems that in the current media climate, unlike in previous decades, good looks becomes a NECCESSARY requirement, regardless of how astute one is. It is the one criteria that is used to decide between which of the two amply qualified candidates gets the job. Gone are the days of Cronkite, where experience mattered.

[cheugon]

@alphacause...

And I'm glad they did! lol

[GhildedGharden]

@alphacause - I agree. Ana's beauty is a major draw for TYT. But, it was Cenk and his commentary that first got my attention. To be completely honest, sometimes when Ana is reporting a story I get lost in her appearance and have to go back and listen to the story again. So, is that a bad thing? Does that make me a bad person? It's not an obsession or anything. But Ana is definitely a world-class beauty.

[TungstenShovel]

@alphacause it's true *sob cry*

[Jock4Jesus]

he doesnt look like a go

[esrapk]

@alphacause duhh

[JediFarce]

@alphacause Hey, don't hate on Ana, she can't help it if she's a sexy woman. Besides, they've balanced out the show with the Turkish beast. Can you imagine who would care about the Youngturks if there were two ugly bastards instead of one? Think about it.

[Remus0387]

One of the most hideous men in American politics, Mitch McConnell looks like his face is melting, and i know snotty conservatives will say more ad hominem attacks by liberals, name calling blah blah am i wrong?

[TheEmpowered787]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

[dookdawg214]

This doesn't necessarily mean that the media is biased on looks. It could be that more-attractive congressional reps are generally more popular among people, and the media covers the most popular reps no matter what they look like.

[JoeDull]

The Mitch comment made me lol

[stormglow83]

Why do you think that the media focuses SO MUCH on missing cases of young women (women in general) but for some reason not their male counterparts? Don't get me wrong these cases are important,but what about the rest of them? And don't get me started on how much they focus on child cases.

[ratsock]

Maybe this is why the media ignores Ron Paul so much :P

[xKargatx]

c.) Cooperation!

[stalker7d7]

The ginger people did it! jkjk I mean no offense...

[TheeRawbee]

did she say cowinkidink?

[rlesbirel]

Is it just me or does Mitch McConnell look kinda like the Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth?

[loveofkemet]

man, ana would get the goods

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Hot White Women in Congress are SUPERIOR to their male counterparts! This is WHY they get all the attention!

[jetli80]

Anyone knows if Ana is available?

[ColonelHarry]

Ana : be beautiful and silent.

[BalooDumptruck]

horny heterosexual people in some of the comments....ugh

[Shonenut213]

This whole study is bullshit. I don't find a single congress member attractive.

[Bobbiethejean]

Mitch McConnel looks like an Orc and he has a personality to match.

[andusro]

This is so funny. Ghoul or goblin - you decide!

[dacrocker]

LOL.....Satan, Jesus......six in one, a half dozen in the other. LOL

[SIC66SIC66]

I find it strange, that when then article is about how stupid this is, judging by looks and stuff. TYT does it too. Why?? Its so backwards......

[CognosSquare]

My member is currently in congress.

[Tenchi10]

America loves porn and beer, get the stars into congress!

[DarthAzabrush]

Could TYT have an "OF COURSE!" Playlist?

[jqsmith1452]

@DarthAzabrush That would be called every video The Young Turks present.

[Gyva02]

Sad sad truth, Highschool never ends, the hallways just get bigger afterwords...

[RAMKING61]

Ana, cleavage will get even more attention...hint...hint.

[Shonenut213]

@Plato86 Fuck off you stupid feminazi faggot

[Plato86]

LOL I know for sure that you have never touched a woman's breast because you are an anime geek and we all know what anime geeks do with their free time. Can you spell Hentai pervert? LMAO at YOU!

[TheSouthernAndrew]

At least people in congress are all intelligent beings, they are right....

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

@TheSouthernAndrew The are not intelligent, they only know how to get in power, stay in power and manipulate the power.

[becooool010]

First face transplant Patient look much hotter than that !

[DaytonaRoadster]

well who wants to see more ugly people...this obviously makes sense

[Hobagification]

This is why I pay more attention to Ana than to Cenk. I love you man, but you know I am right.

[ArtypNk]

Mitch McConnell looks like he could potentially transform into that guy who was a servant of Jabba the Hut.

[lilarnation]

@turbodally there are more than just men that watch media. And none thinks with there balls it would be there penis.

[ViolentRiC]

@lilarnation

No, it would be their balls. When I saw his comment I thought "Ah, somebody got it right anatomically for once"

Testosterone is in the testicles, so they literally affect how you think.

[MrAlcoholic11]

Mitch McCockendelle or what he is called looks like a bull penis dipped in motoroil

[hartstarter]

Beauty is on skin deep and these republican cunts are ugly to the core

[rsty614]

damn Cenk that cracked me up

[TurboDally]

"Media Covers Attractive Members Of Congress More"

That's because males think with their BALLS and not their BRAINS.

[Shonenut213]

@TurboDally Fuck you stupid feminist bitch. Get back in the fucking kitchen you fucking whore.

[HalfAnAssSandwich]

@alucardlb yea better. Seems like she consistently chooses or receives the lame topics.

[hixxy126]

C: gingers

[HalfAnAssSandwich]

Ana our vapid topic analyst. Try wearing business casual.

[alucardlb]

@HalfAnAssSandwich if it came down to her or that hipster chick misty, comeon ana is a million times better

[TheYetiDick]

Lmao Ana should've been like "this doesn't surprise me because cmon... that's why I got this job"

[avatarmn]

Looks have got to be the only reason people pay any attention to Paul Ryan.

[PaintingOfTheMind]

I live in Kentucky. And it was Jesus. Jesus sucked his soul. He sucked it hard.

[Ssrn53]

Mitch has a face like a snapping turtle.

[spaik007]

@Ssrn53 truer words have never been written

[ahmadclk]

@Ssrn53 a snapping turtle that sounds like he's about to barf.

[3108711289]

@Ssrn53 a meltng st

[ZarakiZamusha]

@Ssrn53 I think he pulls it off though! Hahaha! No joke though.

[jawa64ify]

@Ssrn53 red snappa

[MUTT1126]

@Ssrn53 thinking the same thing. he looks like dana carveys master of disguise, the turtle guy.

[Domzdream]

@Ssrn53

So right!

[oddcatalyst]

@Ssrn53 Quite a few people actually refer to him as the Turtle! Haha

[OriginalBeast]

Jesus



[fatkat444]

At what point in neck fatness do you say 'that's enough' 'I look fucking ridiculous'

[mutley2209]

different here in the UK it's pretty much opposite, but largely because there's very few if any good looking mp's lol

[Axbent]

@mutley2209 Yes, Brits are generally rather ugly. Like Rod Stewart and Boy Gorge for example! ;)

[ViolentRiC]

@Axbent

And Jude Law, Orlando Bloom and Christian Bale. Ugly bastards, I think I'm gonna be sick just talking about them.

[zythepsarian]

they all look unattractive to me, especially because theyre fucking thieves

[mert828]

What does an agnostic know about souls? McConnell looks like a dead bloated turtle, not a goblin.

[ViolentRiC]

@mert828

Why would an agnostic be unqualified to talk about souls.

Agnostic doesn't mean atheist you know, and why would there need to be a creator for living creatures to have souls anyway?

[CallASpadeASpade2U]

McConnell looks like a Warner Bros. cartoon turtle.

"which way did he go George,...which way did he go?"

(◕‿◕)

[Markvdl25]

Ana Kasparian for Congress!



[ToniSkit]

goooouuulllll vomits**

[kinksyo]

Brilliant

[zenguin13]

So.. Barney Frank gets alot of attention..Is he getting on the cover of Vanity Fair all the time?

[Tr1pTr0p]

1) google mitch mcconnell,

2) go to images,

3) look at the second image,

4) laugh your ass off.

[TheHobgoblyn]

Doesn't look like a goblin. :P

We are much better looking than that.

[WoodCroftwoodcroft]

B, Jesus

[male751]

lol,

[Lpoolboy]

TyT ruined my porridge by putting that picture up.

[marvelous3999]

there are no attractive members of congress.

[whoo689]

Did she just say "subconscience"?

[Lpoolboy]

@whoo689 hahahah yes!

[crlnewlls]

@whoo689 what? i thought she said it correctly...

[Sypran]

Ive heard Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle... I personally always thought he looks like a turkey...

[JBhab30]

I just found a CNN report from 2008 where they ask Ron Paul about those news letters an di just find it funny how news station like to bring this up every time hes doing good in a election ,,, Pretty sad that you are in the same boat as CNN ...not only that you guys brought it up 2 years after they did lie it was new news

[YourDogIsDeadHAHA]

The media also spends an inordinate amount of time covering politicians who have been shot. Bias!

[Leadman1989]

A. Mitch McConnell there's a god

B. There's no God

Fuck I'm an Atheist XD

[sheldondunnjr]

Ghoul? No soul? Jesus v. the Devil? That rant at the end was hilarious.

[edgeninja]

Mitch McConnell has always looked like a turtle. Everyone knows that.

[chafenhimer]

Attractive member of congress? Isn't that an oxymoron? They're all old white men.
