Cenk Uygur: Knocking Down the Biggest Excuse for the Bailout

Everyone's heard it a hundred times by now. Joe Biden said it when he was on The Daily Show last week. Tim Geithner says it every time he's on television or in a congressional hearing or in the car talking to himself. "We had to do the bailout. We didn' ...

Cenk Uygur: Gross Failure of the Media

A new poll by Public Policy Polling shows that 52% of Republicans believe that Obama did not really win the 2008 election. You think that's absurd, get a load of why - ACORN stole it for him. Yes, a majority of Republicans in the country believe ACORN ...

Cenk Uygur: Imagine if the Today's Right-Wing Were Around for Nuremberg

But Mr. Obama, unlike his predecessors, likely knows no better, and many of those around him, true children of the grungy '60s, are contemptuous of custom. Cutting America down to size is what attracts them to "hope" for "change." It's no fault of ...

Cenk Uygur: No One is More American Than I Am

Predictably, after the Ft. Hood shooting some idiot conservatives are suggesting that we do some sort of loyalty exam for Muslim-Americans before allowing them into the US military. Who is "we"? Who gets to do this exam? What, presumably more American ...

Cenk Uygur: Obama: The Central Question of Our Time

To paraphrase Eminem, "Will the real Barack Obama please stand up? Please stand up?" That is the central question of our time -- who is the real Barack Obama? If he's the guy who got us all excited that anyone could become president, that anything was ...

Cenk Uygur: The Trigger is a Lie

The trigger is a lie. And anyone who advocates the trigger is a liar. Did you know that the 2003 Medicare prescription drug legislation had a trigger? Well, drug costs have continued to rise significantly ever since then - and guess what, it turns out ...

Cenk Uygur: Democrats Should Stay Off Fox Until They Confess

Is there really any doubt in anyone's mind that Fox has been attacking Obama from day one? Can anyone really be that misinformed or disingenous? Well, if you are, this video from Media Matters will disabuse you of that notion: Come on, does anyone ...

Cenk Uygur: Why the White House is 100% Right to Challenge Fox News

There are three categories of news media: There's absolutely nothing wrong with being in any of these categories. As you can see, I put our show in the "Opinion Outlet" category. I have no problem with that. We tell you our take on the news of the day. ...

Cenk Uygur: Did Bush Screw Up Afghanistan Worse Than Iraq?

What is not being talked about enough is the disastrous situation George Bush left for Obama in Afghanistan (as he did in just about every aspect of government). What the hell did Bush did in Afghanistan for over seven years? Apparently, not a damn ...

Cenk Uygur: The Anti-Bush Nobel Peace Prize

I think they gave this Nobel peace Prize to Obama less because of what he's done so far and more for not being Bush. And it's well deserved. Conservatives seemed to be outraged that this is partly a snub of Bush. Yes, it is. And well deserved. Bush was ...
