"Zaid Jilani used to work for the Center for American Progress and wrote for its outlet blog ThinkProgress for a while, and in a post on his Tumblr page this week, he revealed that the White House started calling them to complain when they started being really critical of President Obama's policy on Afghanistan. Jilani said he was compelled to speak out after the news about RT this week and thinking about how it's not just the Kremlin-backed network where there's pressure to keep quiet about criticizing the foreign policy of the guys at the top."

Cenk Uygur () host of The Young Turks discusses this story and why it's yet another piece of evidence proving why independent media is so important. Does this news surprise you? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

**********

The Largest Online News Show in the World. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE STREAMING weekdays 6-8pm ET.

Young Turk (n), 1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party. 2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations. (American Heritage Dictionary)

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.

We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.

The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.

Download audio and video of the full two hour show on-demand + the members-only post game show by becoming a member at . Your membership supports the day to day operations and is vital for our continued success and growth.
