That's big news, an MSNBC show anchor guest hosting TYT, that's great news. Hittin' the big-time!

Less and less of guys like Wes Clark Jr. or Ben Mankiewicz and more of Dylan Ratsagain, really Cenk is just a new style republican, can you say I'd sell my soul to make the big time, I know Cenk can.

And Ratigan has done a damn good job on financial issues on his show, but that's IMO. Maybe you're watching another show.

PS---Wes Clark Jr has been busy. You know what they say about people who make assumptions...

;)

Same show. I know Cenk has some progressive views, but he's so borderline republican on many issues that I can't take him anymore. I think my last straw was when I saw him on a movie review of "Exit Through the Gift Shop", he was just so appalled by "street art" and how they mess with the establishment.

If the price was right, Cenk would take a show on Fox News, now tell me I'm wrong?

PS I got rid of cable so I don't have to hear guys like Dylan Ratigan.

PPS Thanks for the tip on Ben I'll watch tonight and on Friday.

He's not big on art in general (which you can disagree with), it wasn't an "establishment" issue. Have you ever watched Ratigan's show? As another poster noted, he rails against unchecked greed and bought politicians. What more do you want him to do other than not be on MSNBC (in which case you should also take issue with Olbermann and Maddow).

It was too an establishment issue. The "he's not big on arts" is weak. As far a Ratigan is concerned, well he's to the left of "Morning Joe", but that's not saying much.

Those commercial breaks don't make it any less true. And if these are the words of a corporate sellout/corporate shill/corporatist, we're using different dictionaries.

Didn't he work for CNBC before he got his show? That tells me all I have to know. It's not like I'm gonna have objective argument with you about Cenk anyway, I mean he's your boss. To quote him; as far as progressives go he's turned into some mighty weak sauce...IMO

You're ignoring an article where he blatantly rips the establishment (and countless videos and shows where he does the same). Then you when you realize you can't refute my argument with specific examples of corporate bias (etc.) you resort to trying to undermine my credibility.

Feel free to post the articles or clips that prove Ratigan to be a corporate shill. In the mean time everyone else can skim his blogs here and make up their own minds:

You cherry pick what a guy say's and therefore that makes him a progressive. You can do that with every cable anchor out there including half the dopes from Fox.

Cable news is the worst, even MSNBC, that being said I'll still listen to Olbermann and Rachel they are the exceptions.

Dylan Ratigan makes it on no one's list of progressives

If Dylan Ratigan is a progressive then "Morning Joe" is a middle of the road, and no I won't go through the trouble of cherry picking remarks.

I just don't like how Cenk appears to sell his soul at every turn to get on the network, it's sad.

I posted a link to all of his blogs and encouraged people to read them. That's the opposite of cherry picking. In fact, I encourage you to read through them to find evidence that supports your opinion.

Nice double standard on Olbermann/Maddow BTW since your only evidence against Ratigan is that he has commercial breaks. If Olbermann was guest hosting TYT you'd keep quiet because, er, um...you like his show better (rhetorical question)? And in that case he wouldn't be 'selling his soul' (again, rhetorical question)?

The End

that Olbermann or Maddow didn't come from CNBC. Again I don't know about Ratigan, nor is anyone else from the progreesive sphere quoting him. This really is more about Cenk anyway. The only thing I can say absolutely for sure is that you are a paid lobbiest for Cenk.

I noticed you never denied that Cenk would not sell out if the price was right.

I was a fan of the show for years before I was hired, not the other way around. Also, he's denied contracts for more money because they meant ending the show as we know it.

Next time try facts instead of personal attacks if you want to convince anyone other than yourself.

"By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. No, no, no it's just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are, do. Aaah, no really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers, Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously."

I don't feel exactly like Hicks, but everytime you come in here and lobby for ideas which you get paid for you cheapen the board.

go harrass somebody else.

realize that he is really not taking sides! I KNOW he's had on some RW'ers, but I've seen him give them a lot of grief too!

What I SEE from him is that he's TRYING to shine LIGHT on PROBLEMS, and IF that includes the likes of some of our DEMOCRATS... then SO BE IT!!

There are PLENTY of DEMOCRATS who have turned me off of late!! Are they ALL working for us these days? I DON'T THINK SO!!

And this IS my LAST comment on him!

TYT has been in the pocket of big DVD!

How do you sleep at night Tom? On a bed full of free rentals?

Lol...

he started to get angry and yelling about Wall Street becoming nothing but a gambling casino that uses taxpayer money without risking any of their own. In other words, he didn't fit in there, anymore. You should check into his backstory, because working for CNBC is not all you really have to know. You need to know more about anyone than that to constructively or correctly slam him. And it's spelled Ratigan.

............views on important issues like education, civil rights, police powers, rights of corporations and all the other mundane/unimportant things going around your sorry ass.

Are you at all surprised?

think the hidden text here is that corporate money is finding its way into the Turk's hands. That Ratsagain is a champion manipulator.

:eyes:

Ratigan rails AGAINST the big banks!!! Where do you guys get this stuff??

I saw you just edited corporations for banks. I think you just proved my point. Ratsagain is a corporate sell out, I'll pass.

Banks is more specific. Please explain how Dylan is a corporate sellout and be specific. Calling him stupid names like Ratsagain does not really prove your point in any way!

:evilgrin:

five minutes of corporate interuption between every story? I've seen Ratigan a couple of times, I agree with icee he's progressive like Obama's a progressive. Is Morning Joe a progressive? I'll bet he's railed against the big banks on his show at one time...I don't watch him either.

Colbert and Stewart must be corporate sellouts too in your eyes....

:popcorn:

Colbert never. You're not exactly discerning in who you call a progressive. I calls em' like I see's em'. Just because you lobby for Cenk doesn't mean I have agree with his every move. I don't agree with this move, it stinks.

Oh, and dude? Mix in a spell check once in a while. You'll look marginally less freeptardish.

own. He is doing the same thing Obama did to get elected President.

Save it, fuzzball. You aren't fooling anyone. If you don't like progressives like Cenk and Ratigan, stop going Orwellian by calling them Republicans. Your DLC panties are showing.

That is great news!

and their bailouts, what a racket. The rich get richer and the poor...get babies.

people are missing here?? I really don't! He's been "eyeballing" so much of the financial crisis for so long now and routinely has Spitzer & Cenk on to discuss it!

Now, he fuming about the GUSHER and somehow he's an ass! And to those who will bash me for my support of him, don't bother...I've heard it before!

JMHO!!

that's a big no-no.

So much idiocy! Cenk is going where the MONEY IS!!!!!!!?????? You absolutely MUST have your head up your ass to say such a moronic thing. This place HATES Cenk because he is outside the puppet show that so many here are in love with!

I have really learned a lot about my party since Obama the Corprocrat took the reins. Real Progressive values are doomed. Too few have the brains or balls to stand up for what is clearly right and proper for such values. Weak kneed cheer leaders that hide behind Obama's coat tails.

This place will be completely pulled out from under our asses by corporate power and the damage will be HUGE. All because "Liberals" can't fucking fight their way out of a wet paper bag. The sixties will not happen again. The populace is doped with propaganda instead of weed.

of "groupies" BECAUSE they ARE trying to shine the light on REALITY!

Of course repeating myself won't help, but wanted to respond with MY support once again and keep this going!!

And again, I don't understand why being informed is SUCH a negative trait!!!

or walking the plank these days!! Captain Hook must be waiting for me!!

Like all those people we on DU constantly railed against, the people who supported Bush no matter what he did, Katrina, Iraq, torture, US Attorneys, it was all okay to those people because their guy was in the WH. Now it is the same exact fucking thing on the left, it is totally pathetic and honestly I didnt see it coming. I thought there would be more "feet to the fire" moments from us collectively.

I should have seen it coming but I didnt... either that or these people are all DLC shills, posting in a smokey room somewhere in DC.

me, and I've posted this many times... but NEVER did I think it would be THIS way after almost TWO YEARS!

I don't WANT to feel as I do, I would be MUCH happier to join the KUMBAYA Chorus, but I still HAVE to look in the mirror almost every day! I feel as you do... following behind someone who is essentially like a Pied Piper must not be in my DNA!

Maybe I only react to what's NOT being done, what promises that seem to have broken and not looking for the pluses, but right now the NOT GETTING DONE is outweighing the WHAT HAS GOTTEN DONE!!

JMHO!!

Dylan Ratigan and Cenk Uyger are the Obama to truly progressive shows like "Democracy Now". You are totally misunderstanding what I'm saying, Cenk is selling out to the cable stars. I think Dylan proved that tonight.

Because it's not! So Cenk isn't Amy Goodman and therefor all he's doing is repeating MSM talking points? Please!

Mac Users can watch here:

and it was totally disastrous. I don't think Dylan will be filling in for Amy Goodman any time soon. Want to know why that is? Because she's not whoring herself out to get on cable TV, she has principles. I think Dennis Cao from your forum said it best:

"Dylan Ratigan Guest Host-- Epic Failure

posted by Dennis Cao

Weee what a big show event Dylan Ratigan is guest hosting this must be awesome!

Not. Instead of Dylan going off on random issues and any other entertaining action he talks in a monotone to extremely boring guests.

The first guest talked not about washington, oil, or politics but instead about "cognitive resonance"... seriously I almost fell asleep.

The second guest... code pink. This may have made for some entertainment seeing how crazy the group is, but instead we get question-lame answer-question-lame answer-agreement-thanks-question-lame answer.

How boring can this get"

Maybe you guys can try for Cambell Brown next week. I hear she's a hot new progressive that's out of a job.

Yea Ihavenobias that's a real progressive show you're shilling there!

Someone is super jealous!!! Give it up already, stop spamming this video!

:silly: :dunce: :spray:

who's not on the payroll. Did you watch that epic broadcast tonight? What progressive television! LMAO!

Desperate much?

Sorry, I'm to late to rec.. Been on vacation and celebrating my 27th anniversary!!!
