The Young Turks

The Young Turks are anything but brutally honest. They constantly lie. And when they are caught with their pants down what do they do they taught and insult the people who point it out. Not to mention that the channel is called the "Young Turks" which committed the Armenian genocide which is comparable to having a news network called the Hitler Youth, which is just distasteful to say the least. The "news" anchors constantly "straw man" their oppositions arguments and "poison the well" against anyone the are debating, instead of using facts to make their point. They constantly talk down to the opposition like they are children claiming that "I am better than you, much better than you. You are garbage" And saying that the anyone with opposing view points are "F@cking dumb." In the end avoid these people like the plague, they are so partisan that it clogs their judgment and rationality.

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.

In the episode published to their Youtube channel entitled "Asia Argento Paid Off Her Alleged Sexual Assault Victim" on August 20,2018, the leader, Cenk, goes out of his way to defend the accused and in a sense, shame the accuser for being a 17 year old male complaining about being statutory raped by an attractive 37 year old female. Cenk says most guys would enjoy it so it can't be that bad. He casts doubts on the victim's claims since money was paid off and he also made claim that an underage male can voluntarily have sex with an adult female, but not the other way around.

Like most online news shows, TYT attempts to break away from the big corporate media and establish itself as a truth-speaking show. Since TYT is has a small budget, it must rely on a charm of in-your-face news presentation, and a strong liberal/progressive agenda to attract attention. This may be very enticing and refreshing at first, but for someone like me who enjoys professional and impartial presentation, this isn't the show for me.

The hosts - Cenk - in particular, is not afraid to voice his views whether or not they are politically correct relative to the general liberal crowd. This is where credit should be given when it's due, a show that has the gall to go against the views of its audience. However, the hosts on this show virtually attack everyone who is not a democrat or who do not fall in line with their views. And when I say attack, I really do mean it. The hosts will use name calling with a level of smugness that is normally associated with Fox News.

Don't be fooled if TYT calls themselves unbiased. They are very biased. So far, I have yet to see anything presented in an impartial light. In fact, there have been multiple occasions where the hosts cherry pick scientific and statistical facts to support their views, while omitting anything that might point towards the contrary. The heated arguments between hosts, because most of the time the hosts and guests hosts seem to have a unanimous decision on everything that it all just becomes amicable heated rants. That being said, whenever Ben Mankiewicz is hosting, that is a breath of fresh air as he does challenge the views of Cenk or Anna, which does get some nice discussions going at the same time, tempering out the very "passionate" hosts.

Overall, as an Australian, this show does give new insights into the far away land of freedom known as America, but honestly if you want to find a source of impartial or scientifically accurate news without doing your own research, I recommend DNews, SeekerDaily and TestTube. Though those three shows don't really tackle political issues anywhere near on the scale of TYT, at least you won't feel like you're being beaten over the head with a paddle named "liberal/progressive agendas".

If you are looking for a news source that is "unbiased", better to go for the big news corporations that omit information as opposed to broadcasting their stances, and watch multiple sources and formulate your own opinions from there. After all, political correctness is only relative.

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).
