Sep. 18, 2023: Cenk Uygur is wondering if Russell Brand's victims came to the media, or if the media went looking for victims. Cenk believes that if the media went looking for victims, it's because Russell Brand is now seen as an outsider and that's what the media does to outsiders.
"And if someone's annoying them, or is an outsider, or says things they don't like, all of a sudden, they said they went and talked to hundreds of women that he's been with, and they got these four, right? So that's why I'm asking. Did the women come to you? In which case, great job on the reporting, I'm being, like, 100% great job, right. If they went and interviewed hundreds of women looking for four women, or however many women that'll testify against him, that's weird..."
"...It's just that there's a group thing with editors. If someone's an outsider and has no power, let's go try to find something wrong with them."
