Cenk Uygur hosting from YouTubeSpaceLA.  Cenk shows off TYT’s Peoples’ Voice Webby award trophy.  TYT exclusive - a TYT fan lost his mother in the Navy Yard shooting, and he shares his thoughts with TYT first.  Mass shootings go on and on, and we all wonder if anything will be done about it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/18/aaron-alexis-microwave-machine_n_3946916.html  Rather than blaming guns, the media is now blaming video games and video game violence. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/navy-yard-shooter-played-military-style-videogames-relevant/story?id=20285169  Louis Gohmert joins the chorus saying that the guns are not to blame. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/09/18/gohmert-calls-for-more-guns-because-obesity-isnt-caused-by-too-many-spoons/  Some in media are seeking political or ideological explanations, but the reason is Aaron Alexis was crazy.  Obama says he tried gun control but Republicans blocked him. Cenk says he should try again. Conservatives making hay of Obama’s comment about Trayvon Martin (“If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin.”), now connecting that comment to this shooting.http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2013/09/16/navy_yard_shooting_suspect_aaron_alexis_is_black_so_obviously_twitter_jerks.html   Republicans trying to repeal or defund Obamacare.http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/09/04/2571191/obamacare-percent-defund/  VIDEO of John Boehner.  Video of Harry Reid calling Republicans anarchists.  Obama about to enter a stand off with Boehner on debt ceiling negotiations. Repubs say Obama agreed to negotiate on this point in 2011, so why not now?  Media calling Obama a lame duck.  VIDEOS of Chuck Todd.  Chuck Todd blames Obama for not promoting his health care law. This may be true, but it’s also the media’s job to report what’s in the law. NJ Senate candidate tries to say Cory Booker ran a crack house.  Study about how the media runs the war machine. http://www.mediaite.com/online/cable-news-is-a-lot-more-hawkish-than-the-public-on-syria/  WolfPAC update.
