1. Thanks!

:kick:

2. I appreciate it, but I'm posting it for myself too. There were crazy storms here in IL last night

wind gusts in my area were up to 70mph.

At any rate, I had to turn off my PC for a few hours as you can imagine.

4. Is everything ok??

[ihavenobias]

7. Yes, for me it is (thanks for asking). But there were 200,000 people without power

cars smashed by fallen trees, etc.

Not all in my area, I'm speaking generally out here.

3. K and BIG R! nt

5. K&R

6. K/R Vidal is more in tune than I could ever hope to be.

8. Vidal tells it like it is. Too bad the media cut him off, as he noted at the end,

thus controlling the message, as he was explaining.

9. The media didn't cut him off...

TYT doesn't have any big corporate sponsors to worry about, they rely primarily on (progressive) members like myself for their funding.

Cenk actually raised this issue after the interview had ended and they came back from the break. Maybe that issue applies with major, corporate controlled networks, but trust me, it absolutely does NOT apply here.

My God, have you listened to an episode of TYT? Cenk would never get away with half of the things he says on a large news network.

10. Cenk ended the interview but Vidal wasn't ready to end. You can

say it was because of satellites and scheduling but the fact is that Vidal wasn't allowed to finished his point.

I'm not saying Cenk wouldn't have continued if he could, but Vidal did not end the interview. The media did.

[ihavenobias]

11. Yeah, but the same thing has happened when Cenk has republican guests on

Guests who favor corporate control, etc.

There have been plenty of times where THEY don't get to finish their point. But I do agree that I wish the segment had been longer.

[valerief]

12. I'm talking about the Vidal interview and I found Vidal's remark at the end interesting.

It doesn't matter about other interviews or satellites or schedules. The media ended the message. The media controlled the message. This is all aside from Cenk's interests.

13. I'm fascinated by GV interpretations. I saw another interview with him several months ago

here on DU and that conversation has stuck in my head ever since. He's like a wise old owl. It's nice that someone in his position can feel free to say it like it is. We all know this is going on and I hope when Obama becomes president that he can help clean it up. Cenk did a great job of asking questions.

[ihavenobias]

14. It was good but I wish the segment was longer. And I wish Cenk had included some of his commentary

after the segment had ended and they returned from break.
