Worst Interview Ever?! Fox News Embarrassed
It's got plenty of competition but this may just be the single most cringe-worthy, embarrassing interview on Fox News. At least in recent memory. Fox News anchor Lauren Green had religious scholar Reza Aslan on her FoxNews.com show Friday to talk about Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, his book that has been stirring up some online controversy recently. And right off the bat, Green gets to what is important: "You're a Muslim, so why did you write a book about the founder of Christianity?" Aslan seemed a little flabbergasted: "Well, to be clear, I am a scholar of religions with four degrees, including one in the New Testament, and fluency in biblical Greek, who has been studying the origins of Christianity for two decades, who also just happens to be a Muslim."*
Reza Aslan is a religious scholar and author of "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth." He is also Muslim. This blew the minds of Fox News, including host Lauren Green, who quite possibly gave the most embarrassing, insipid interview in Fox News history. Can a non-Christian possibly be interested in Jesus? Is there any attempt to hide Fox News' agenda? How many times can an anchor phrase the same question again and again?! Cenk Uygur breaks down this ridiculous interview.

Rush Limbaugh's Most Loathsome Moments - Is He Finished?!
Politico reports that Cumulus Media plans on dropping Rush Limbaugh's show at the end of the year.
Cumulus has reportedly decided not to renew Sean Hannity's contract either.
Cumulus carries Limbaugh and Hannity's shows on more than 40 of its stations, including Limbaugh's longtime flagship WABC in New York as well as stations in big markets like Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Dallas."*
Advertisers are quick to deny any link to Rush Limbaugh's radio program, and it's very difficult for him to actually prove his alleged audience numbers. That said, Cumulus Media is said to be dropping Rush (and Sean Hannity) sooner than he might think. Where could Rush be going, and what reprehensible behavior got him there? Cenk Uygur breaks it down with a video mash-up of some of Limbaugh's "best" moments.

Royal Baby Born to Prince William and Kate Middleton: Should You care?
Their first baby has arrived, everyone is awash in goodwill, but what happens next for Prince William and Duchess Kate?
Another baby? Maybe. New job? Possibly. New homes? Certainly.
No one can say for sure, of course, and the palace would never dream of discussing it, but it's not a stretch to suggest they might get pregnant again soon."*
Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed a baby boy, to much media hoopla. Is it all pointless? Or does the British royal show actually mean something? Cenk Uygur (@cenkuygur), John Iadarola (@jiadarola) and Miki Matteson (@miki_matteson) discuss.

'I'm Better off Dead' 11-Year Old Escapes Arranged Marriage (Video)
"Nada al-Ahdal, 11, broke a longstanding tradition of child marriages after she managed to run away from her parents and alert the authorities.
She then delivered a passionate testimony against the practice that is spreading across the web like a wildfire."*
Nada Al-Ahdal, a Yemeni would-be 11-year old child bride, escaped the fate her parents set out for her. Just because giving children away sexually to adults is a tradition, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Cenk Uygur discusses the young girl's impassioned plea opposing the tradition.

Juror B37 Reveals Twisted Views in Interview
Juror B37, who has already signed to a literary agent and just as quickly dropped the idea of penning a book on the trial, told Anderson Cooper Monday night that she thought George Zimmerman's "heart was in the right place" during the incident that led to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin."*
Would you say George Zimmerman's "heart was in the right place" when he stalked Trayvon Martin and shot him dead? That's what Juror B37 revealed she thought on the gunman in a CNN interview. She seems to unwittingly reveal a very twisted take on race in this snapshot; maybe it's a good thing her plans to write a book were thwarted. Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
Is Juror B37 Racist?
Juror B37 — the one who hates the media, called Trayvon "a boy of color", and already has a high powered literary agent — just sat down with Anderson Cooper to answer questions about the trial. It's... well, what you would expect.
She says some pretty upsetting stuff, much of it about Rachel Jeantel not being a credible witness, and referring to Trayvon and Rachel as "these people" and "their way of life". Uh, did you mean teenagers? Say what you mean, woman."*
Juror B37 from the George Zimmerman trial appeared on Anderson Cooper's CNN show to talk about the trial, throwing around phrases like "those people," "boy of color," and saying George Zimmerman's "heart was in the right place" when he shot Trayvon Martin. Understandably, people are saying she was showing racial prejudice, and are shocked at how casual she seemed to be with it. Is she racist? Is she ignorant? Cenk Uygur discusses with Jayar Jackson and Jesus Godoy.

Zimmerman Brother Trashes Trayvon Martin: He Wanted Guns and Drugs
Robert Zimmerman Jr. gave the first post-verdict interview from the Zimmerman family to CNN's Piers Morgan tonight. Zimmerman told Morgan his family is still processing the verdict and the prospect of George being a free man again. He did not partake in any kind of joy, saying no matter what it's still a horrible tragedy, but expressed that his brother will be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his free life."*
Robert Zimmerman Jr., brother of Geroge Zimmerman, did something truly disgusting by slandering Trayvon Martin with completely unsubstantiated claims. He said he wanted to start "the healing process" during his CNN interview with Piers Morgan, but it seemed more likely that he wanted to rub his brother's innocent verdict in everyone's faces. Cenk Uygur breaks down Zimmerman's lies and utter hypocrisy.

Why People Should Be Outraged at Zimmerman's 'Not Guilty' Verdict
George Zimmerman, the Florida 'neighborhood watch' volunteer armed with a gun, has been acquitted of charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the shooting death of unarmed African American teenager, Trayvon Martin.
This verdict is at once so shocking and so expected to me that without a doubt it exposes the lie at the heart of the American 'criminal justice' system. We do not have, especially where African Americans are concerned, a "justice" system. It is often an injustice system that results in unequal treatment."*
George Zimmerman was found "not guilty" of all charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. But is this right? Is this justice? There were many, many times after the moment of Martin's death that were not handled properly, and now we as a people must deal with the implications the "not guilty" verdict sets forth. Cenk Uygur details and breaks down where the case went wrong.
