What the NYT Did to Cenk Uygur Was Dirty w/Jimmy Dore | Joe Rogan

Oh my god. So how'd you get in trouble? What'd you do? So I did that. With who? So that guy, Cenk Uygur. Oh. He's running for that 25th. Right. Dude, what the New York Times did to him was dirty. That was dirty. I shouldn't say the New York Times. I should say that writer. Whoever that writer is. It was the whole... But there was an LA Times... It was an unbelievable smear. But the New York Times one was the one where they tried to say... Yeah, they pretended. That his conversation with David Duke, where he was like, Oh, of course you're not racist! It was as clear as day that he was joking. It was clear as day that he was being sarcastic. And so... Talking to David fucking Duke. Yeah, right. The Grand Wizard of the KKK. And he's like, Oh, you're not racist! Of course you're not racist! And then they take that and they put it in quotes. He said to David Duke, Of course you're not racist. Of course you're not. That's right. So that's like Mr. Smith goes to Washington shit. It's dirty. But I couldn't believe that was the New York Times. That hurt. That one hurt. Because I was like, Who the... You think it's funny? Yes! I'm like, I can't even... Your time is horrible! Oh, don't say that. They are horrible! That's all I've got left. No, no! That's all I've got left! You've got me, Joe. You've got me. You've got Kyle Kalinsky. Oh, I do. I do have Kyle. Right? I love Kyle. Yeah. Yeah. I saw your interview with Kyle. I love Kyle. I heard the shit you said. We were talking yesterday. I heard the shit you said. I said good things about you. Oh, did you? I didn't get that far in. Oh, I love you. I quit after you told him he was your favorite news show. Oh, you're my number two. Is that better? I'll take it. I think he's the most reasonable of all the political commentators. But you're a comedian and a political commentator. I think you have a dual... I have a specials category. Yeah, well, you're funnier than him for sure. Oh, that's sweet. That's all I care about. He texted me yesterday. New York City was 68 degrees. Yes! He was like, What in the fuck is going on? But then he's like, I feel bad because I feel so happy. It's like seasonal depression. You know what? It's sunny out and 68 degrees. Like, Yeah! Everything's great. Meanwhile, the world's on fire. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, whatever. It's warm. It is warm. Yeah. No, he's great. That's the beautiful thing about having corrupt and dishonest media is that it opens a door for honest media like you and independent guys like yourself, like Pacman, Kalinsky. It's easy. There's quite a few. It's easy to outdo them. And MSNBC or CNN or... It really hurts hearing the freight from a guy I respect. The New York Times is horrible. That's always been what I trusted. Me too. I know it was tough. It was tough when I realized that mainstream news media is just a mouthpiece for the establishment when it really matters. They're for every war. They're for every war. They're repeaters. How do we get into Iraq? They got Judith Miller to uncritically put whatever Dick Cheney told her on the front page. That's why they all have aluminum tubes. Front page of the New York Times. And then Dick Cheney... So Dick Cheney tells Judith Miller, they have aluminum tubes. She prints it on the front page of the New York Times. Dick Cheney then goes on to meet the press and said, look, even the New York Times is reporting this. Oh, God. That's how they do it. And then Judith Miller, she gets an on-air job on Fox News after that. She got rewarded. There's that and then there's probably also access to candidates, access to top officials. Access journalism. If you don't give them what they want, they don't give you access. And this is sort of the game that they've always played. Right. That's exactly right. That they have access and they... I've experienced it. But what do you think... Why do you think they want to smear Cenk? I mean, like... Because they see him as an enemy of the Democratic Party, because he wants to get money out of politics. Right. So that's his big thing. He has Wolfpack and his whole thing is, I don't take corporate money and that Justice Democrats, they don't take corporate. So that's his whole thing. Right. It's about getting money out of politics and they want to keep money in politics. Because if you get money out of politics, their whole grift is over.
