I understand (in someways even respect) Cenk’s passion and empathy but sometimes his emotions get the better of him. Adopting your own rendition of the De Niro line “Liar whore!Liar whore! And You know it!” does not help your cause and/or argument. It maybe too difficult for him but he could learn a bit from someone like Mehdi who balances being relentless with being patient and focused, in picking apart his opponents specific words in real time. Maybe that is an inherent trait for Mehdi as it is a skill.
