John Iadarola (Think Tank), Hannah Cranston (Think Tank), Jayar Jackson, and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

"NASA on Thursday announced the discovery of what could turn out to be Earth 2.0, Business Insider's Jessica Orwig reported: "the very first Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star in the perfect sweet spot where liquid water could be sloshing on the planet's rocky surface."
Now, it's entirely possible, as Wired's Sarah Zhang indicated, that the exoplanet — called Kepler 452b — could turn out to be nothing like Earth. It could even be a gas planet. Since the planet was discovered by telescope, it's very hard to verify all the details. But NASA scientists — who have a personal interest in presenting their work as big news — are calling it the most Earth-like planet found so far."
