Young Turks? Fuck them.

I meant Mancow's opinion changing from waterboarding is harmless to waterboarding is torture, in the space of about 6 seconds...

One problem:

It was a ratings hoax

(Note that this is 4 links above, not one.  The last one thoroughly debunks it.)

The newbusters article actually has an update where the mention getting a callback from Mancow on the story and he admits it wasn't real.

"...it wasn't supposed to be a REALLY real waterboarding to begin with..."

They even talk about his post-hoax interview on Olbermann and that they might have known it was a hoax and done the interview anyways (although they were allegedly quite angry when they found out).
