Last month, when Stephanie Taylor and I turned the tables on FOX's Griff Jenkins, he had "no comment" when asked about the talking points that are distributed to FOX anchors and reporters each morning giving them Republican propaganda to say aloud on the air.
But last night, the single-best progressive talk show out there -- The Young Turks -- went beyond their great news analysis and entertaining commentary. They broke actual news.
Check out FOX's talking points on Al Franken:
Congrats to Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Jayar Jackson, David Koller, and Jesus Gadoy for breaking this news.
A programming note: I mentioned above that the Young Turks is the single-best progressive talk show out there. I mean it. I listen to their podcasts when I jog and whenever else I can.
Not only is their news analysis absolutely in the same ballpark as Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, but they are extremely entertaining. Mothers pushing their babies around DC in strollers look at me weirdly because I spontaneously laugh while jogging.
