Cenk Uygur Rips Erin Burnett And Mainstream Media’s ‘Abhorrent’ Coverage Of Occupy Wall Street

Young Turks host Cenk Uygur, soon to join CurrentTV as Keith Olbermann‘s lead-in, lit into freshly-minted CNN OutFront host Erin Burnett over what he saw as a smug, fact-challenged segment ridiculing the Occupy Wall Street protest. Uygur delivered a blistering critique of Burnett on The Young Turks this week. When I asked him about the media’s coverage of the protests, he had praise for some, but slammed Fox News, and called much of the mainstream media’s reporting on this “abhorrent.”

Uygur tore into Burnett over her Occupy Wall Street segment, in which she uses her finely-honed financial acumen to completely pwn some unemployed loser by pointing out that “taxpayers actually made money on the wall street bailout.”

Cenk points out that Burnett is not only missing the point of the Occupy Wall Street protest (there’s nothing in here about a failure to pay back almost-free loans), but that her facts are, at best, incomplete, and her dismissive attitude is symptomatic of an incestuous business reporting culture:

The fact is, as Uygur points out, taxpayers actually didn’t “make money on the Wall Street bailout,” because the government overpaid these banks by $30 billion for garbage AIG securities in the “Backdoor Bailout” he describes. Well, at least the banks paid back the taxpayers for the TARP bailouts…by borrowing money from the taxpayers.

In the meantime, as the Declaration of Occupation points out, they used our money to make billions, pay themselves huge bonuses, and continue to influence elections and policy, and heap extra fees on those same taxpayers. A cynical person might call that some kind of warfare. In fairness to Burnett, though, she has come a long way from urging consumers to be careful about wishing for non-poisonous toys, and from what I’m told, has done some tough interviews with Tim Geithner, Leon Panetta, and Jon Huntsman this week.

I asked Cenk what he thought of how the Occupy Wall Street protests are being covered by the rest of the media. He called Fox News’ coverage “ comically bad,” and “the usual propaganda nonsense they spew forth on a regular basis.”

“No one leaps to the defense of the big banks like Fox News,” Cenk told me, adding, “The really funny part is when they pretend to be populist, when in reality they are the biggest elitist protector of the rich and powerful. That whole network is one giant joke.”

Fox News has even come under fire for coverage that it didn’t air, such as this interview with a protester that didn’t make it onto On The Record (along with over an hour of other footage that didn’t make the two minute segment). “Fox News covered up reasonable points that didn’t suit the interests of the Republican Party and the super rich?” Cenk said. “Shocking! Shocking!”

As for the rest of the media, the protests are starting to catch on. Cenk had praise for some more progressive-leaning journalists. “I think it’s getting more coverage now, so that’s positive. I think Keith Olbermann has led that effort and has done a fantastic job of covering the protests. Dylan Ratigan went down there a couple of times and he went early on, that’s positive.” (MSNBC’s Ed Schultz also did an entire live show from the protests earlier this week.)

Many mainstream newsers, according to Uygur, just aren’t getting it, though. “For a great majority of the time, the media coverage was abhorrent,” he says. “The disdain drips off the lips of the millionaire news anchors. Why won’t the protesters just east cake?!”

Uygur, like several leading progressive figures, has a unique perspective, because he used to be a conservative. However, he doesn’t see OWS through that lens. “This is not a liberal or conservative issue,” he says. “All of the American people have been ripped off by Wall Street and the politicians they have bought. Conservatives should be the most mad at the government interfering with the free market to give the big banks enormous, artificial advantages. I thought the Tea Party was against the bailouts. Where are their protests on Wall Street? Curious how they haven’t had any, right?”

I asked Cenk why he thought this movement was being covered so dismissively, while the Tea Party has been consistently legitimized by the media. “So far, unfortunately, the Tea party has not been a real threat to the establishment,” he replied. “They are in a contest with mainstream Republicans as to who can cut the taxes of the very rich even more. Wow, the establishment must be shaking in their boots.”

“Occupy Wall Street is a real threat. These are people who are not going to easily get misdirected into helping the banks. They’re here to assert the voice of the majority of the people and there is nothing a corrupt establishment hates more than that.”

It’s a real shame that the OWS movement is being co-opped by politics,especially leftwing politics.Of course Cenk doesn’t approve,once his and other lefties patron saints,the labor unions joined in.

There’s plenty of blame to go around when it comes to why the economy is so bad,how we got here,and why these various movements have come into existence.Problem is all the various political segments only want to blame the others and portray themselves as our salvation.

Since that’s a big part of how we got here in the first place,we seem to be going nowhere fast.

Do you even try anymore, Tommy? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read on this site, including from the wingnut comment comment gallery. I really don’t know why I’m wasting my time as you’ve proven yourself to be nothing more than a hyper-partisan bomb-thrower who really cares nothing about the truth. But, here goes:

When the tea party first started, it was dismissed by the media. It wasn’t taken seriously. It was called a short-term fad. You fail, Tommy.

When the tea party gained some steam, it was still dismissed by the MSM, but the narrative turned from simply dismissing the movement to setting out to destroy it. How many times have we heard how racist the tea party is? How many times have we heard how crazy, violent, etc. Basically all the terms that could accurately be used to describe the left in general. There hasn’t been any proof but that didn’t stop the MSM from putting daily, false propaganda out. You fail, Tommy.

Hey Tommy,
How about reporting on the conversation Tingles and Howard fineman had after the presidents presser yesterday. i believe the words out of tingles mouth were, “Is he running for president anymore”? Fineman joined in and the discussion was regarding the pres’s attitude, he seems tired, dismissive and like he’s given up. Now, with all Tingles coverage you give, why didn’t you report his dismissing the president as a quitter. THAT’S news, not this bozo.

— The “Occupy Wall Street” movement came to the Big Easy on Thursday,
but its expression of varied and often clashing political messages
quickly turned difficult.

As about 500 New Orleans protesters
marched, complete with a small brass band, from Orleans Parish Prison to
the Federal Reserve and then inside City Hall, one activist told The
Daily Caller she heard shouts of “Kill the cops!”
Farnsworth

Are you insane? They make a very specific point of distancing themselves from those demands. They explicitly say that these ARE NOT an official list of demands and are the product of a single user. How much clearer could they possibly be about this?

Farnsworth – I’m quite sane, I assure you. They could have made themselves much clearer had they removed the twisted set of demands from the website completely without commentary. No, they deliberately chose to allow them to remain to gauge public reaction to what I’m sure many agreed were completely reasonable requests – at least in their twisted, drug addled minds

I agree with this guy on one thing. Politicians are bought by Wall Street and special interests. Obama was bought by Wall Street in 2008 and whoever the nominee will be, will be bought by Wall Street. There is no such thing anymore, as We The People. These protestors should be in Washington at the steps of the Capital and and the fence of the white house.

The Tea Party should be against the bailouts as much as anyone at the OWS protest. I’ll wager that they’ve never protested wall street because their backers(Koch brothers and others) aren’t really in favor of it.
Tedderman

Obama did not create the tea-party, that’s a ludicrous assertion. The tea-party is an assemblage of the same malcontents who cannot stand it when a Democrat is in the White House. The difference with the tea-party is the training and organization they received from Dick Armey’s Freedom Works organization.. Additionally they’re extremely well funded well funded by big business, insurance companies and the Koch brothers among others. The first tea-party protester appeared here in Ft. Myers, Florida, barely one week into Obama’s presidency. Incidentally, she received Freedom Works training.

Hey Tommy:

If you get a chance.. please ask Cenk why Keith Olbermann hasn’t made any public statements congratulating him for joining Current TV.

Cenk’s YouTube will get more hits in a day than Olbermann has viewers in a week. You’d think Olbermann would be promoting the hell out of Cenk’s new Current TV show. And yet, I haven’t seen tweet out of him on it.

Does Olbermann have the ego issues or what?

They didn’t have money to start with. You don’t need money to get 10,000 fucked-over citizens to march through NYC. The only people here who are going to be running out of money are going to be the NYPD, and I’m sure the banks will slip them some more money before that happens.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VYUK3HIJFCPFBZUHRHN6HCR5AA MarkfromSavannah

No Clandestine – What should be obvious is the posting of one unhinged contributor was allowed to blur the already incomprehensible message of this three ring circus, and they had a duty and a responsibility to purge this manifesto. It wouldn’t have been censorship, but removing the side bar distraction that it created to begin with.

No, I am suggesting that it was allowed to remain for the very reason I suggested above. To many, there were some very good ideas contained within these points and someone probably said, “hell, let’s leave it there and see where it goes”!

Great points lonestar33. I ran in to some occupy zealots yesterday, it’s a mix of all the typical far left groups, now with some organised labor. Their message is all over the map although they really want very extreme wealth re-distribution (also known as communism) they just can’t use that term.
Now they have no problem with them demonstrating, but I wish it was in front of Pelosi’s house rather than the Fed. Nice to have all the good, ultra rich SF liberals show some fear about holding on to their wealth.

That is the same thing that pisses me off too. It’s always one side vs. the other. and one side is the savors, and the other are the corrupt, evil side. Unfortunately, some people in this country actually believe that their political party is the one trying to save the country, and the other political party is bought by Wall st., Health Industry, etc…. Both Parties are bought! All the people who donate big money to PAC’s, candidates, Political Parties, and all the political groups, now have enough money to where they can donate big money to both political parties… The sooner the American people realize that money needs to get out of politics, the sooner our country can fix our problems

What’s abhorrent about the media coverage is how some on the left are salivating over this as in a anecdote to the tea party. They’re trying to define this group for their own purposes when basically, they’re a loosely organized group who are just plain angry about the way things are going. Lefty media, labor unions and others left organizations are going to turn this into something ugly.

It’s not just that OWS is “being co-opted by . . . leftwing politics.” It’s been totally disowned by the right– who have been determined to characterize them as “dirty hippies” or “anti-capitalist revolutionaries” from the start. The right has no one to blame but themselves.

And, sure, the CNN piece failed to reflect Cenk’s perspective. But there’s clearly more to it than that. There’s the whole condescending attitude she demonstrates, the lack of journalistic inquiry, and the disingenuous presentation of facts.

These guys are absolutely correct in the generalized theme of the Financial Industry USURPING the capital investment that funds our economy – in order to engorge their own net-worths.

They have vitiated the political class, from both parties, and are just now being exposed for this incestuous relationship.

I think the people spearheading this effort are a bit extreme in their rhetoric against capitalism, but they represent a wider swath of Americans – including Tea Party people, who believe the same things!!!!!!!

Of course the Mainstream Media doesn’t want to cover it. It’s all a sham put on by George Soros and unions (with lots of delustional people thrown in and a few legitimate folks). If it gets too much coverage, this will be obvious.

Don’t worry, though. It will get lots of coverage as soon as they can bring in the rioters all over the country to escalate it into a problem, maybe even giving O’ Bummer an excuse to hold off the election.

There’s folks “behind the curtain” pulling the strings and those strings aren’t likely to be “for the people” but using them like lemmngs.

“while the Tea Party has been consistently legitimized by the media.”
Was that a joke? What the OWS movement has gone through in its three short weeks of existence is nothing compared to the daily bashing the TP got during the healthcare debate. Even most conservative shows (like O’Reilly’s) say that some of the OWS grievances against the banks have some validity. Show me some fair-minded analysis like that of the TP on MSNBC. In fact, the Tea Party was arguing against the same bailouts to the banks in many of their protests, but most of the media was too busy trying to de-legitimize the movement they missed that portion.
