TYT: Fox News vs Harvard On ISIS Turns Into Embarrassing Ignorance Fest



"Harvard students believe that American is a bigger threat to world peace than ISIS, according to a recent survey of attendees at the prestigious Cambridge university.

Campus Reform, a self-styled 'campus watchdog' for conservative students, carried out the interviews in the quad at the Ivy League school on Saturday and asked: ‘Who is the bigger threat to world peace, ISIS or the U.S.?’

The students featured in the video were overwhelming in their belief that America and its interventionist foreign policy is a greater threat than the group of Muslim fanatics that have gained global notoriety in recent months through a series of video of Western hostages being beheaded."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur & John Iadarola break it down.

Cenk is always a pleasure to watch. I am so glad he got that big infusion of money. Go Cenk! Go TYT!

Re: the fox fuckups: the cowboy is of course a dunce. Can't help noticing that Kennedy girl, she can really rock that pink dress, but she is a total fuckwit.

Where did the "big infusion of money" come from? Not that it matters just curious & happy to hear it. It has been fun to watch them grow over the many many years of watching them.

I have always said if i ever won the lottery (I never play) I would hook TYT up with a nice donation...I don't always agree with Cenk & others on TYT but I am not suppose to but I do respect their opinions. Sometimes I realize I have been wrong other times not so much. I like the chemistry they all seem to have together...I just hope it is genuine & not fake like so many in the news/entertainment business is.

And of course, I have a "crush" on Ana! LOL! I think she is such a wonderful role model for all women especially young women...My wife I love watching the TYT & we both feel the exact same about Ana & even though we can't have kids we have several nieces on both sides of our family we hope turn out like her. Or at least the image/person we see on camera as we don't know her personally but Ana does seem to be genuine, I hope.

You know that using the word outlandish is outlandisher than laughing at the word outlandish!

That's hilarious! Love this. Thanks for sharing!

And ridicule intelligence and facts.

Fox News Rule to Success #1: Distort truth and ignore facts in order to embrace ignorance.

Fox News Rule to Success #2: There is no Rule #2.

I kinda miss the good old days of the Turks, when it was low-budget with Ben and Jill. Maybe there are some reruns I can watch.

Faux Noise isn't so much a bubbling cauldron of ignorance that must be bathed in.
It's more of an intellectual black hole, no matter how powerful, any intelligence which enters it's voracious gravity well is swallowed up, never to be seen again.
If you absolutely must, do only video interviews, never enter the studios.

Way to go, Cenk!

In the rural area where I live we often hear that same old argument. "How would you know, were you there?" There could mean Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan.

As if the fact that American troops were present and engaged in a specific operation makes the cause automatically the right one.

They don't for one moment entertain the possibility they could be wrong.
