Far-left media outlet The Young Turks called President Joe Biden’s mammoth climate bill “weak-sauce garbage” and whined that “conservative Democrats” were ruining the green agenda.
However some progressive Democrats are cheering Biden’s so-called “Inflation Reduction Act,” The Young Turks (TYT) co-host Ana KasparianAn Aug. 4, video rant predicted that radical environmentalists will be disappointed by the bill. “[T]he final bill, after it goes through the process of debates and negotiations, will probably strip out many of the good provisions that progressives are trying to celebrate today,” Kasperian said. “I have no doubt that that is what the end result will be.”
After attacking Democrats for refusing to abide by the radical leftist agenda, Kasperian posed as a self-righteous advocate of leftist activists. “If I’m the bad guy for being critical toward this weak-sauce garbage that we keep getting sold by the Democratic Party — apologies,” Kasperian said.
TYT used to be a member the Media Consortium. A liberal media echo chamber, George Soros has ties with through the Media Democracy Fund. Open Society Foundations estimates that Soros gave at least $3.520,000 in support of the Media Democracy Fund from 2016 to 2020.
But Kasparian also claimed it was time for far leftists “to play hardball” with less radical Democrats like Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) Joe Manchin (WV). Kasparian moaned that these two are selling out climate-change progressives.
She targeted Sinema in particular for her rumored opposition to Biden’s so-called “Inflation Reduction Act,” a bill that would raise spending by at least $260 billion, according to The New York Times. “[W]e all know who her donors are,” Kasparian said. “We all know who she sold out to, even though she ran as this, uh, ‘fire-breathing progressive.’ Nah, she got a little tasty-taste of that cash, loves that cash.”
The Young Turks didn’t specify who, exactly, they were talking about, but they may have been hearkening back to a report by The Guardian in February that Sinema “courted Republican fossil fuel donors” during a meeting in Houston.
Kasparian also wailed about Manchin’s connections to the fossil fuel industry. “Manchin, as we all know, financially benefits from the fossil fuel industry,” she whined. “He loves it. He would never sacrifice that, and he’s made that very clear.”
Co-host of TYT Cenk Uygur echoed Kasparian’s far-left case against Biden’s bill on Twitter: “This Manchin-Schumer ‘compromise’ will turn into a giant subsidy for every part of the energy industry,” Uygur tweeted. “Then Sinema will gut the tax increases. It will end up being a corporate standard pork bill that the American taxpayers have paid for. And media will tell us it’s ‘historic.’”
The Manchin-Schumer “compromise”, which was reached in December, will become a huge subsidy that covers every sector of the energy industry. Sinema then will eliminate tax increases. It will end up being a corporate pork bill that the American taxpayers have paid for. It will be described as “historic” by the media.

TYT wasn’t the only media organization to attack Democrats for compromising on Biden’s climate monstrosity. Forbes slammed Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) compromise with Manchin, calling it a “Faustian bargain” that could “jeopardize offshore wind” and “renewable energy on federal lands” in an Aug. 3 analysis piece.
