As the so-called Islamic State demolishes nation states set up by the...
Dylan Ratigan loses it during a round table discussion on his own show. Despite having the highest rated non-primetime show in television, MSBNC eventually kicked him off the air, probably for his fiery rants like this.
We cannot have the truth getting out can we? Who owns MSBNC by the...
