7:31Now PlayingMan v. Food star, Adam Richman, loses 70 pounds and shares his success on Instagram using #thinspiration. His post was met with criticism from online commenters who feel his hashtag was inappropriate. Richman's response was controversial to say the least. Cenk Uygur (www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) and Ana Kasparian (www.twitter.com/AnaKasparian) discuss.
"Days after he was caught telling a female critic on Instagram that she should kill herself, Adam Richman's new show on the Travel Channel was abruptly cancelled before its premiere without a public explanation.
Man Finds Food was supposed to premiere on July 2, but had caught flak on last week after the omnivorous host posted a weight loss photo on Instagram and used the tag #thinspiration. When fans asked him to not use the term, as it's often used on Instagram to tag pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia material, he flipped out, to put it lightly: 'Don't come to me with childishness when a hashtag throws you into a tizzy of posting comments and 'never watching you again,' he wrote in one deleted comment. 'Seriously — grab a razor blade & draw a bath. I doubt anyone will miss you.'" *

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.
