The Young Turks: October 20, 2014

Cenk hosts TYT. Elizabeth Warren campaigned for Al Franken and told the group that the game is rigged and the Republicans rigged it. Cenk points out how easy, and popular it is to simply call it what it is, and unapologetically hitting the GOP in the mouth. CNN has had significant layoffs with several shows being cancelled. Videos of CNN’s Brian Steltser explaining why the firings are happening, mostly attributing it to new media’s influence on traditional. Jayar wonders if they would be suffering anyway, since the medium shift is in full effect, despite good programming. The organization that looks out for African American journalists had their funding from CNN rejected once they submitted criticism of the network. When the group made the funding dispute public, CNN pointed out that they only threatened to pull the money over their criticism, expecting the Black Journalist group to bow their heads. Video of Chuck Todd challenging Republican Sen Roy Blunt on begging for a Surgeon General while rejecting his nominee because of the NRA’s problem with him. A Washington state citizen pulled a cop over and demanded ID and berated him for illegally using the vehicle under state law. Videos of the encounter are shown. Cenk loves this guy, and the cop for cooperating. Cenk points out that the White citizen got more leeway to pull off this brazen act. Jayar and Jesus talk about why this encounter actually annoyed them. Gov Corbitt’s website has a banner of citizens lovingly interacting with him, including an elderly Black woman that turned out to be taken from a stock photo where the woman was conversing with her financial advisor. A riot broke out at a college in NH over pumpkins at a festival. Rowdy students flipped cars, attacked police, and were eventually pepper sprayed. Cenk compares this to the way Black Ferguson protesters were characterized in the media when riots broke out over the cops killing unarmed Michael Brown. After the Vatican was reconsidering their views on gay relations, the final decision was to not do it after all.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. After the pumpkin riots happened, a reporter on the scene was approached by the organizer of the pumpkin festival and attempted to stop his report of the violence. Video of the humorous encounter is played. Misinformation on ebola continues as an elementary school in NJ threw out a few students that are originally from Rwanda, which isn’t even near the countries that are affected. A teacher from Maine has been placed on administrative leave for 21 days since she attended a conference in Dallas, where the Ebala case was detected. The head of the NIH previously stated that if the organization’s funding wasn’t continually cut, we may already have an ebola vaccine, but he’s getting pushback from defenders of the cuts. Cenk stops the story to tell everyone that he just had a massive dejavu. After the Obama Admin named Ron Klein as the “Ebola Czar” that Republicans were clamoring for, they attacked his credentials, but Conservatives didn't have anything to say about Bush’s Bird Flu czar that had no medical background. Jennifer Lawrence’s lawyers are having Google scrub her leaked nude pictures from websites that are still displaying them. After they are scrubbed, many are relaunched on another website, creating an ongoing game of whack-a-mole for her attorneys. Cenk is annoyed that some are attempting to sue Google for $100 million as if they are responsible for the pictures being spread. One of the women that was held captive by Ariel Castro in Ohio for 10 years granted an interview and spoke about how she doesn’t allow him to continue to have a hold on her life, and that she can forgive him. Cenk doesn’t think she has to forgive him and doesn’t understand why society yells at people to forgive in order for her to move on.
