 I've been listening to the Young Turks for the past month or two to try to balance our the perspectives I get on podcasts and I genuinely don't know how people listen to and support it. 75% of their takes are just as ridiculous as mainstream media, and then they just criticize mainstream media.  
 I don't know how you made it a month or two. No judgement! I'm always trying to have an open mind and not fall into a simple narrative. But almost all media corals ppl into  one 
 I can’t last 5 minutes lol    I’ll check in every once in a while just to see, and never last more than 5 minutes.  I always think to myself, these people are detached from reality. 
 Yeah, like they did a whole segment on the trump trash man thing. Like I'm sorry, if you don't think that is funny you don't have a sense of humor.  
 My old man used to say “if you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at”?  It’s true, they are breeding sensitive pussies. lol 
 Good work, keep seeking out alternative viewpoints.
