Cenk hosting.  Martin Bashir has issued his resignation from MSNBC after his comments about how Sarah Palin should have someone urinate and defecate in her mouth.  Cenk dives into why these figures always do the bidding of the corporate heads, despite how benign their offensive actions are.  Video of Don Lemon conducting a demonstration with a self defense instructor about how to fight off a kid trying to attack you doing the Knockout Game.  The Editor of the Guardian tackled a question by a Parliament member asking if he loves the country the way he does since the Guardian printed Edward Snowden’s leaks. Wal-Mart has been selling Banksy-style prints at their stores, making people think its his work.  Many of the anti-capitalist street artists are the most vocal protesters to this move since they’re not being paid for their work.  TYT’s artist Ali Rza, chimes in with his opinion.  Cenk gives his take on the story of the NSA targeting terrorists by looking into their porn searches in order to disable their credibility.  In reality, the targets had no radical connections.  These revelations prove that when the NSA encounters someone that they are threatened by, they go after their target’s credibility based on potentially embarrassing sexual exploits.
