TYT: Ana Kasparian Kicks Ass On CNN’s Reliable Sources



Ana Kasparian was on CNN’s "Reliable Sources" yesterday and lit the house on fire. They brought her on with a Donald Trump supporter for some healthy debate. Ana promptly let CNN know that they are dying because they’re owned by billionaires who control their message and people are getting wise. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Ana Kasparian, host of The Young Turks, schooled conservative CNN guest Scottie Nell Hughes on Sunday for suggesting that Muslims were a bigger problem for Americans than income inequality.

CNN host Brian Stelter posited on Reliable Sources that the media were “deaf” to the frustrations of Americans because they did not understand what it was like to be poor or what it was like to live in rural area.

Kasparian hinted that CNN was not blameless, observing that both the “establishment media” and politicians had been corrupted by the same forces.

“So it’s really difficult for mainstream — let’s say, cable outlets — to talk about things like income inequality, wealth inequality when the advertisers that are funding their shows are the same corporations that want to ensure that the same system continues,” she explained.”*

I've been leaving it on CNN lately and it seems every ad break they have either a pro-big oil ad using "Energy Voters" or a Koch Industries ad which are used to keep CNN in line from talking about Climate Change. They arent tying to sell anything to consumers except propaganda and CNN's mute-ness on the topic. The same with all the defense industry ads they run from Boeing and McDonell Douglas showing war jets. Disgusting.
