Ana Kasparian ramping up her Faux Noose audition, I guess...?

‘I Was An Idiot!’ Young Turks Host Ana Kasparian Blasts Media Over Migrant Crisis in WILD Glenn Beck Interview
Kipp Jones | Dec 8th, 2024, 1:37 pm

Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks ripped the “mainstream media” and credited Republican Texas Governor Gregg Abbott for waking her up to the country’s immigration crisis in a Saturday night interview with Glenn Beck.

Kasparian, a staunch progressive, said Abbott’s busing of migrants to Democratic-majority cities and how it impacted local politics in those places proved to her she had been lied to by a media that had been downplaying the country’s immigration issues.

“I can definitely be honest about my own flaws and my own mistakes because I bought the mainstream media narrative that there wasn’t a migrant crisis,” Kasparian told Beck. “And yeah, I did believe it. I believed because, look, I was an idiot because, I mean, Who do you trust in today’s media landscape?”

Unless TYT has a revenue problem, or she really feels like bleaching her hair and getting bad plastic surgery, I'm not sure why she would be trying out for FUX though.

The ratio of ambitious folk cosplaying conservatives to those cosplaying liberals HAS to be staggering.

Seems to be a full time job for some people. Any idea how much a Fox or CNN or MSNBC guest makes?

I forget her name but the one behind the Seneca Project was explaining this on a recent Nerd Avengers podcast with Mary Trump.

She is making up shit. I support tough immigration measures but know it's not so simple.

7. Did anyone think she (Armenian herself) sat next to Cenk, the RWer, misogynist, and Armenian genocide-denier

all these years and wasn't just in it for the $$--willing to say whatever it took? That is when she wasn't the diva relating stories of her (supposed) Hollywood paramours (and on Sirius guest appearances), all the details you never wanted to hear about her sexual (act) preferences?

Uggh. TYT has no redeeming value.
