There’s not much we can count on in this crazy world of ours, but at least we know that no matter how much things change, Cenk Uygur will always come through with a garbage take.
And following yesterday’s deadly terrorist attack in Kabul, boy, did he deliver:
Who has attacked the homeland more over last decade: Right-wing domestic terrorists or the Taliban? This is not a matter of opinion. The facts are overwhelming. Yet, no one on cable news makes this obvious point. Gee, I wonder if they have an agenda in the way they frame things.

And note in this case, the mainstream media agenda is in favor of the right-wing. Their advertisers can't make trillions unless we have foreign wars. Also, they still think right-wing is part of their audience and don't want to alieneate them with the truth. Could hurt ratings.

The MSM favors the right wing? OK, pal. We’re also not sure what Cenk would know about ratings, since he doesn’t have any. But we digress.
This bizarre narrative we’ve been seeing over the past several weeks about Capitol rioters basically being the American version of the Taliban is not only offensive; it’s just plain stupid. The Taliban have murdered American citizens and are doing their damnedest to ensure that they can murder many more as the Biden administration continues their policy of abandonment.

The “right-wing domestic terrorists” that Cenk Uygur has in mind are not in the same ballpark. They’re not in the same city. Not even the same state. And most definitely not in the same country.
Simply put, if this is the route Cenk Uygur wants to go, he’d better buckle up. Because it’s bumpy as hell.
You totally ignored the arson and looting and killing during “protests” last year

The BLM peaceful protests did more damage in one summer

Does overrunning police stations, setting up 'autonomous zones,' laying siege to the White House, and burning city centers to the ground count as "attacks on the homeland"? Because that would make for an interesting calculus if we want to go down the blame shifting road. https://t.co/iHzjWIw98K
