‘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?”
