The real question is...was it a false flag or not?

This happened on media row. Alex wanted to have some fun with Cenk but there is real animosity between Cenk and Roger Stone. Once Cenk lost his cool, which was genuine, all hell broke loose. You can see that Alex didn't anticipate Cenks meltdown.

I think this really hurt TYT. It was a massive dlv on their part and cenk attempting to rationalise what happened just made him look more beta. I've actually seem him blow up like this before when he interviewed peter schiff and even Sam Harris. I have anger issues but cenk manages to do it at work and in full view of millions of viewers. Don't get me wrong viewers like seeing anger but controlled anger, not a person screaming incoherent nonsense in an attempt to silence opposition.

I love Alex Jones, I listen to him every day - Infowars published one of my articles back in January.
Cenk completely lost his cool for no good reason, Jones was just trying to have a little fun and troll a bit - nothing left-wingers wouldn't do themselves. His real life animosity with Roger Stone (a patriot, by the way) coupled with his beta bitch attitude lead to the blow up and it made him and his crew look like assholes.
It was great television though, that's for sure.

I tweeted Ana Kasparian and asked her to let go of the hate and stop fat shaming.

Alex Jones strikes me as an outrage artist who mixes facts with mystique in order to sell supplements, but that's about the worst critique I can muster. Overall he's harmless, and he does provide interesting commentary on topics that the other news won't touch from time to time.
The young turks on the other hand, reek of being shameless snarky talking heads that are really just establishment prostitutes. They're the same false "revolutionary progress" tools that John Stewart and Mr. Current Year™ fall under, where their unconventional attitudes are really just the more radical element of the official narrative.
The fact that their name comes from the psychopathic Dönmeh who instigated the Armenian genocide, which wiped out nearly 85% of their entire population and was thus proportionately much, much worse than the WW2 genocide we're all familiar with, is telling in itself.

Leftist media tools and affirmative action appointees have been doing this sort of trolling for decades and it is always "soooo brave and hilarious and the jester criticizing the king"... of course only when Republicans are in charge. Don't get me wrong -- Republicans deserve to be trolled.
But when it's Democrats in charge, it's softball shit to cozy up to them. And if anyone else dares to troll the Democrats, then it's "sooo rude, such low level of discourse, have some respect".
Spitting on someone then running away, or a 95lb woman throwing around tough ghetto slang (as if she wouldn't be rag-dolled in a second by any of the InfoWars staff) is a perfect image of how cowardly and shitty these people are. But again, if you talk about physically defending yourself then they just lose their shit.
Eric "Token" Andre, Little Stephen "I'm a good Catholic" Colbert, etc... meh. They can't even beat Jones in ratings.
