4:40Now Playing"Thanks to the Internet, you can live pretty much your whole life without ever leaving your couch. Now, with little more than a laptop and webcam, you can even get your inner demons expelled.
Take Bob Larson. The Arizona-based evangelical Christian, who claims to have performed over 20,000 exorcisms throughout his 40-year career, is something of a Web entrepreneur, branching his demon-fighting business to video-chat services like Skype. Larson's work was recently cast into the spotlight thanks to an Anderson Cooper 360 special, which followed the exorcist as he virtually expelled a spirit from a client from Norway.
Of course, Larson's peers have trouble coming to grip with this 21st century exorcism. Religious leaders question the effectiveness of Skype exorcisms, claiming the exorcist can't control a possessed person's actions, which in turn makes the whole ceremony ineffective."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
