I still remember the huge fracus that occured at the Cleveland
Republican Convention.Alex Jones was making the rounds
where chairs and tables were set-up to have
booths for those who got in to interview and talk about
politics.Of course Alex always carried stuff to film.
He saw Cenk's booth with a couple Young Turks sitting down
and talking.One was Movie Historian Ben Mankiewicz now
hosting AMC cable TV.Within a couple minutes Cenk and Alex
were standing up about ready to sock each other.They got into
a somewhat pushing match.Mankiewicz { a weenie } took no part
in the argument.Just sat quietly and waited for it to settle down.
But not before Kasparian { out of camera view } was heard
cussing.
I goofed.My age is showing.Mankiewicz is used as host
among other hosts at Turner Classic Movies.I shoulda knew better.
I only watch TCM { channel 608 } about 5 times a day.
Next down on the TV guide remote is channel { 610 } or
AMC.Which 20 years ago was The choice Movie place.
They used to be totally Advertising free.
TCM is dedicated to older and classic movies.Which used to
be what the original AMC dedicated itself to.
Not no mores.Mankiewicz got the choice hosting gig because
of his last name.He had relatives in the Film Industry.
But he knows movies and is very credible.I doubt he'll ever
admit to being Political.What the frick was being a Young Turk
all about.
