TYT - The Young Turks

They are ok in small doses. But, they don't like most middle of the road Democrats who are in office.

Is Ana Kasparian still on? Seems she has made some big political course corrections of late which seem to be at odds with the commonly held TYT positions. I haven't watch it since 2016 though, specifically the last time was their election night meltdown

I can't stand Chunk Yogurt.

It’s based off of the hip and with it Rod Stewart song. I’m certain they must’ve covered it on the hit TV show “Glee” everyone talks about these days.

That Cunk man is a sweaty mess.

That Cenk Uygur is a misogynist.

The POV of the show is that the big guy is always right. Then there's Ana who seems a bit more moderate. Or maybe that's just cause the big guy is so loud. I dunno. Never watched it much.

I like Ana occassionally and John and Ben most of the time but hate Cenk with a burning passion. He's loud, arrogant, staggeringly dumb, and barely conceals his antisemitism. As far as the popular progressive news sources go, from smartest to dumbest it's David Pakman, Majority Report, The Young Turks.

I sometimes watch Majority Report for the guest segments. They manage to land good guests like writers from ProPublica, Mother Jones etc. Outside of the guest segements, they can all be insufferable at times. Emma is a huge AOC fangirl and I'm wondering if Emma will ever denounce her since AOC has basically aligned herself with the establishment Dems that Emma hates.

I disagree with Cenk on a lot, but goddamn, I NEEDED this.

Whoops, sorry.

Ana is now a registered independent. The thing that sent her over the edge was she discussed being attacked by a homeless man who came up from behind grabbed her and started grinding her with his erection. The responses were largely negative towards her telling her she was bigoted towards the homeless and even racist despite the fact the guy that attacked her was white

[Quote] Is this worth watching? What is the POV? Is anyone young or Turkish?

Or is anybody The?

I’m wondering if all these left leaning YouTubers and Podcasts will be shut down by the government next year, as well as Subreddits critical of Dear Leader. That’s what they would do in Russia.

As a woman who dealt with a sexual assaults as a teenager, I felt bad for Ana and how people were treating her when that shit was going on.

They're almost as crazy as datalounge. Almost. They're fat and old now.

Why would being assaulted by a homeless guy make her change her political affiliation?

I mean, that's a terrible thing to experience, but is she under the impression that the Democrat party condones sexual assault by the homeless?

R16 she was disgusted with and put off by the faction of the left that pretty much victim-blamed her for the assault she endured.

I hope they, and similar progressive independent media, will attract a somewhat younger audience (in addition to their long-time fans) in "these trying times." There's a whole generation of young people out there who are unaware of the original meaning of left-wing and progressive causes: workers’ rights, equality in education, civil rights, national security, the environment, reducing income inequality, and the betterment of society as a whole. God knows what our society will look like four years from now.

Ana is truly channeling a reactionary gay. She’s sick and tired as the rest of us.

R13, I think so. The MSM will go very easy on Trump now that he's suing some of them. But YouTubers and podcasters won't back down. So they will be shut down one way or another.

No! Never!

It will rot your brain with its gibberish!

R1, they HATE them. Hazan is a hot himbo though

They were interesting early on, but have become more strident to stand out and get more clicks.

I remember when Cenk used to be on MSNBC.

Cenk is a regular guest (invited as the token leftie) on Piers Morgan's show.

***PIERS MORGAN TRIGGER WARNING***

The stopped being relevant around 2018, when they were exposed for the hypocritical corporate shills that they are and lost a significant amount of their subscribers (myself included), and have been on a slow, steady decline ever since. They are intellectually mediocre at best, constantly contradict themselves, foam in the mouth whenever anyone challenges their very simplistic takes on most left wing issues and have extremely reactionary views on class warfare. Anna is a insufferable, hysterical harpy, but Cenk is just embarrassing.

I definitely don't recommend them. The Grayzone, Hard Lens Media, Kim Iversen, Sabby Sabs, Due Dissidence, Midwestern Marx, Caleb Maupin, Jackson Hinkle, Craig Pasta and Fiorella with the Combo Couch and countless other shows, are a million times better.

More drama has been going on. Cenk and Ana are feuding with other YouTubers and it looks like they are definetely going down the Dave Rubin route.

I've seen mentions that they recently took Peter Thiel money to rebuild or expand their studio. Is that true?

Yes, the Thiel backed Polymarket is a TYT sponsor.

It's a little preview of what hell is like.

I think Cenk is sexy as fuck, but I do have a type.

I’ve been following with great interest the recent evolution of Ana Kasparian. I like her a lot.

I despise r26’s recommendations. Some truly hateful figures.
