The Young Turks Show?

Discovered this show a couple of years ago when someone posted about Hasan Piker. His maternal uncle is the main host of the show, Cenk Uygur. I pretty much like the format and the focus on progressive politics. They don’t use Hasan much anymore...why? Ana Kasparian is quite knowledgeable, if a little intense. I love the Cuban lady and the two black women and Jayar Johnson. And John Iadorola is kind of hot. But I enjoy their interviews and reporting on politics. They’re shameless in their adoration of Sanders and Warren.

What say Datalounge?

Young Turks is an extreme Left Wing propagandist channel which is far left answer to right's Fox news. They spread false news, lies and do character assassination of anyone who is against their ideology. They are scum and anyone who has a positive opinion about them should be ashamed of themselves.

A few facts about Cenk Uygur , the founder of TYT.

1) He is a denier of Armenian genocide

2) He has a republican past

3) He wrote essays about sex and women in the past which were extremely misogynistic and sexist.

TYT has tried to make itself into an actual business without much success.

They got some traction because they were anti-Hillary and so when she lost people briefly thought they were prescient.

But as others have noted, they quickly returned to their predictable one-note rants and thus lost a lot of their audience.

(NB: It's funny, in another post I noted that I had ignored political threads on DL for the past three years given that merely stating in passing that Trump won the 2016 election would get one called a right wing troll or worse, since "he didn't win! He stole the election! She won by 3 million votes!" and wondered whether that had changed, if the Hillary Fanbois had simmered down.

You should see the comments whenever they bash another Democrat. People get livid and blame them for Trump's win. These people will bash an Democratic challenger to Bernie or AOC.. They rarely criticize their Leader, Bernie. Even when Bernie made the very unpopular remark on CNN Town-hall that even murderers, rapists and pedophiles in jail have a right to vote. They went out of their way to make excuses for him and rationalize what he said. On the other hand, if anyone else puts their foot in their mouth, they are quick to judge and criticize.. Then they say, "We're not being critical, we want you guys to know the truth." Bunch of hypocrites.

Rachel Maddow is very sane compared to these people. Rachel's animus is toward the GOP and Trump whereas The Young Turks are quick to bash the Democratic Party. Rachel's reporting is more professional like a real journalist, these people are the mirror image of Fox News.

R150, they're also running with accusations by Chasten's fundie, gay-hating brother that Chasten "made up" his humble beginnings. Of course, Chasten did no such thing. He said that his dad grew up in poverty (which is true) and that he grew up in a working class home (which is also true). TYT is desperate. Surprised they're not going after Kamala and Warren. I'm sure that's coming.

R158 Their adoration of Bernie is much stronger than their dislike of Trump, which means their primary focus is to propel Bernie and excoriate anyone who they see as a threat to him. How they feel about Trump is incidental.

Right, r159. That's why they smear Mayor Pete every day and sometimes with right-wing talking points (the fundie brother-in-law). It's because he's such a non-threat. I know that in your fantasy life all of the non-Biden candidates will magically disappear, and that Bernie will swoop in and secure the nomination even though he's badly trailing Biden. Not gonna happen.

by Anonymousreply 166June 1, 2019 12:14 AM

I didn't say he will, R166. He has a shot but not a great one. Considering that everyone knows who Sanders is and he's only polling at 15-20%, it's practically guaranteed that he won't be the nominee. Sanders' bitter and nasty approach and that of his fanboys has turned many people off him. I know that Bernie Bros hate the fact that there's a long list of other candidates (unlike 2016) to compete against but they'll have to learn to live with it.

Bernie and his supporters were just expecting everyone who supported him in 2016 to still be there this time around, so they didn't work on coalition building or drawing in new supporters.
