2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumApparently Cenk from TYT...
Is an evil person because he secured a not insignificant amount of money to ensure his business can continue to operate and can pay its employees. Also, while the second most notable personality from the company for the last 10 years or so is Armenian, Cenk advocates genocide of Armenians.
I have been a two year paying member at TYT, and I don't care who Cenk gets his funding from, I know he will not be compromised because of it.
This explains why Thom Hartmann suddenly went pro-hillary today, he was afraid of the Hillary machine would attack his show like the Internet hit squad just did to TYT.

(62 posts)This donation happened two years ago. This attack on tyt seems pretty convenient since Cenk is so strongly pro-Bernie.

I've only been listening to tyt for a few months and Cenk does not seem to me to be controlled by anyone.
Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)I have been following TYT since 2012 and have been a paying member since 2014. And I know this is BS. But, what I found peculiar, is that Thom Hartmann, the person that had Sanders on his show every Friday for ten years, suddenly and uncharacteristically threw Sanders under the Bus on
Tuesday. Maybe the Hillary Camp has threatened to run a similar smear campaign against Hartmann like they tried here against TYT

Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)and so is the subject. Thanks for letting us know what's going on, I had no idea.
Disappointing about Thom Hartmann, although I have to say, even though he's done a lot of good reporting, there's something about him that I have never quite trusted -- just a slightly off feeling or intuition of some kind. It must be very galling for Bernie, but then I'm sure he's good at rolling with the punches after 26 years in federal office.
I do wonder what was said to TH, threat-wise. I have no doubt after reading the Politico article about the "Clinton Hit List", which Cenk has reported on too (below), that lots of that is going on.
One thing though, it isn't 100% clear from you OP that the first paragraph is a lie. It reads at first like you're saying it's true. I don't mean there's any need to change it, I'm just remarking on it here so it's clearer to anyone else who's reading.
