BBC world service used Cenk/Young Turks as commenter last night. Their bias is showing.

Ps Cenk really dislikes Kamala. ‘She hasn’t proven herself.’

One interview does not a right-wing outlet make. If we knee-jerk castigate every news outlet that interviews or mentions someone we don't like, pretty soon we'll only be having political discussions with our pets.
