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.

(43,049 posts)For most of our lives we've needed an enemy. Ever since we solidly kicked ass in WWII, we looked for another Hitler or Hirohito to slay. The Soviets were a great one for years, but without them we've been swimming in circles.
Saddam lasted a while, but now we've got ISIS and other radical muslims to scare the crap out of us.
God forbid we take all this energy and look inside to see where our real problems are-- the best enemies are furriners.
