"Last Friday night, Sean Hannity hosted yet another one of his goofy Frank Luntz-style audience shows. The most recent installment of this town hall series focused on spring break and the mechanics of shotgunning a beer.

In short: It was a shitstorm of anecdotal evidence passed as fact, myths that never seem to die, and causal fallacies that would make your grade school teacher cringe — all tossed about by a roster of third-rate cable news pundits and professional attention-seekers. There were also a handful of sensible panelists (including our own Noah Rothman), and they clearly won the evening.

The Largest Online News Show in the World. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE STREAMING weekdays 6-8pm ET.
Young Turk (n), 1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party. 2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations. (American Heritage Dictionary)
The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
