The Young Turks

I've been an avid TYT listening for 8 years now. I've made contributions to them. I encouraged others to listen to them. They've been my go-to for pertinent political occurrences. Cenk and Ana, I use to think extremely highly of them, but w/ recent heated debates, w/ their willingness to dabble in transphobia, w/ their susceptibility to false information (ex: Venezuelan gangs taking over Aurora, CO apartment complexes), w/ entertaining genocidal folks like Ben Gleib, TYT fell from grace. I am hurt and disappointed b/c TYT made me a progressive. (Damage Report, Rebel HQ are excluded from this).

My god this show is terrible. It represents the pinnacle of everything that has gone wrong with the so called progressive left. To begin with, it is completely biased to the left, expect feminism, marxim, social justice with large helpings of intolerance, righteousness and hate.

They never have any guests on with opposing views which only encourages the host "cenk" to go off on his tirades in which everyone who does not agree with him is a racists white supremacist.

The co-host, Ana Kasparian, is arguably worse, proclaiming herself to be better than everyone else, declaring those who voted for the republicans in the last election as garbage.

It is mainstream media masquerading as social media, they are funded by Democratic Party kingmaker Jeffrey Katzenberg to the sum of 20 million USD in 2017.

They took the name ""Young Turks"" from a particularly nasty political movement from the early 20th century.

The Armenian Genocide was the Young Turk government's systematic extermination of its Armenian subjects. An estimated 1.5 million people were killed.

Bit of an odd name to call yourselves unless you are trying to make a statement. Incidentally, Ana Kasparian is the daughter of Armenian parents. I find this to be a very disturbing aspect of this utterly hopeless "news organisation"

As far as I know, the negative reviews; don't have a realistic perspective of sustainability (for everyone; even those you don't agree with). In my mind, one side raises questions everyone should ask...and on the other side; isolationism.

What they offer, is an inclusive view, from a perceivable leftist and perhaps as seemingly extreme (to counter the extreme shift to the violent right) point of view, is in actuality a balance to the extreme right.

Personally, having no political affiliation and not a Turkey myself, I find it refreshing to watch a perspective that looks out for EVERYONE.

I agree with just about all of their opinions. And while people claim, that the left is a socialist brainwashed voter base... From my travels (far beyond living and dying in the same town you were born), I've found that it's the exact opposite. Usually people that originally point the finger, are the ones to blame.

So... In a nutshell (for all of you pro gun, anti environment, pro pollution, anti union, anti forward thinking), you're actually the puppet. The difference here, is people that can think ahead and watch this show (because it's what they've been thinking for decades; not just from tweets that confirm they're insecurities and allow them to blame everyone else), meanwhile, the negative viewpoints are actually fed their information through very narrow pipelines.

The big picture here is a majority vs wealth. Sorry for rambling, but I feel bad for people that can't see what's in front of them. We, as human beings need to stop dividing and stand together.

I'd be willing to bet, if people let the left, which has ultimately become the old right; cooperatively work together to solve everyone problems, this world would be a much better place.

No fear, no hate. That's how we make progress. Consider the labels and then move on. Plain and simple.

This show is incredibly stupid, lacking in all class, grace, and credibility.

For starters, the founder is a complete imbecile who founded his organization based on the name of the fascist government that committed the Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian Genocides of 1915. The fact that the media has no problem with this but would interject if, say, he decided to call it the Nazi Party shows how disgustingly shallow and corrupt left-wing media is at showing objectivity in what they deem taboo.

The show uses sensationalism and clickbait to entice its viewers, knowing that its target audience has the IQ of Forest Gump and will succumb to any kind of cheap trick or gimmick.

Anna Karparian is a sell-out Armenian who shamelessly spews her nonsense positions with inconsistency, and her sole point of being there is to bring legitimacy to the fact that Cenk, who has denied the Armenian genocide, wants to soften the blow to his credibility by having a moronic co-host with an Armenian last name.

Cenk is also an utterly worthless, hot-headed filth bag who yells his way into attempting relevancy spews lies, deceit and, misinformation, and disinformation, all while looking and sounding like complete and utter trash.

I would give this show a -10 if I could, but I will settle for the lowest score allowed on IMDB.

Laughably biased so called "news network". They are one in the same with the mainstream news networks they claim to be so much better than, just with a different slant.

I used to be a fan of the Young Turks back when I was still buying into the progressive propaganda, then my eyes were opened to the dangers of socialism and communism. The recent race between Hillary and Trump has clearly shined the light on their biases.

Jimmy Dore can get away with spitting on people on camera, and despite how much I dislike Alex Jones, this is disgusting. The Young Turks Obviously supports this.
