The Young Turks

The web series is unapologetically progressive. It's silly that people seem to be arguing the point, as they often state that they are openly speaking with leftist perspectives. But they are almost equally critical of the Democratic party than they are of the Republicans, and they are absolutely the most biased towards humans and human rights over corporations, lobbying and the current political system.

They are a true journalistic voice to support in this administration's corrupt political climate.

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"

The Young Turks is a wonderfully informative news organization with progressive roots and stances. They have been the one news show that I can honestly say answers the "who, what, where, when, and why" of every story. My problem with big corporate news is that they never get to the why and I am left wondering WHY?!

I love their progressive stance and I appreciate their representation of progressive-minded folks in this country. They are not afraid to get angry at topics worth getting angry about- social services, corruption, gender issues, etc. Even though they are a progressive news outlet, they warn their viewers and call themselves out for their own biases and that is something a viewer can appreciate.

TYT is NOTHING like right-wing news (Fox), on TYT facts are explained and laid out and then analyzed. There are no facts on Fox. Also, when the anchors are speculating on a story or they don't have all the answers because it is still developing or we can't trust the source, they tell you straight up that they are speculating. They don't try to fill in facts with their opinions, they tell you that it is their opinion, based on such and such. I love that they are anti-establishment anything, whether it's Republican or Democrat.

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).

TYT has always been a fact based news network and also tells news stories that mainstream media would never talk about especially this in depth. Even though it's a progressive network they tell the truth about the left and the right.

The reason you see so many low ratings is mostly right wing/Republicans hate being called out on their bs lies , they don't care about facts at all henceforth the term "alternative facts" whatever that means. I'd bet there's so much hate from the right people actually would go through the trouble to make multiple accounts to put this show down.
