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).

Although this show can be funny on occasion, it is almost unwatchable most of the time. Cenk and Anna are very pompous, arrogant and not very clear headed. If you watch this show, you will surely not learn anything. If you want to watch a someone who is clear headed, informative, and left leaning you should watch Kyle Kulinski. He does a pretty good job.

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.

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"

This show is amazing. It covers topics that mainstream media doesn't want to, and points out absurdities within our country and the world. It clearly has its bias at times, however, they admit to it and point it out so that the viewers know. Mainstream media does not do that.

For the most part, they are unbiased, give good reporting, and they are entertaining to watch. I've been using it as a main source of news for about a year now.

I give it a 10/10. You need to check them out! <3

Best wishes from Washington State ;D!

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.

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 so disingenuous and dishonest, I cringe when I hear them talk. If you are anything but far left, you'd have to be a masochist to listen to them. They are demeaning and degrading, and essentially call anyone who doesn't agree with them ignorant, corrupted, brain-washed or evil.

They rarely give honest unbiased facts and have a history of unfairly accusing people of malintent.

I would like to dispel the notion that The Young Turks makes any claim to objectivity - they routinely explain personal biases to their viewers. Some may find appeal in this expedient humanistic agenda as each episode has the feel of a network news anchor "gone rogue." Others may not like this presentation of the news in such a subjective manner, but they should consider that all news reports function with some sort of filter.

Cenk Uygur, the main host, is incredibly passionate about politics and provides the backbone to the whole enterprise. The general direction of this and other "alternative news" programs is to break the spell of mainstream media which too often presents arguments with false objectivity and in the process lends its influence and exposure and also level of credence to viewpoints which are not remotely credible or rooted in reality.

The format for The Young Turks resembles a typical nightly news program packaged into several segments about current events which are circulated individually on YouTube and elsewhere. I have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy news from a variety of sources, but I find myself agreeing with the main anchors on the Young Turks so often that tuning in to TYT is like putting on a pair of comfy socks. Other reviewers have complained that the Young Turks merely serves as an echo chamber for liberal thinkers, whether this is a flaw or a feature likely depends on the viewer's own prerogative.

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.

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.

If you want left wing propaganda then this show is for you. I don't get how someone can think it is a good idea to invest 20 million dollars in them when they can barely break 200k views per video. Plus it's not like they make anything interesting or exciting, all they do is sit there in their echo chamber and rant about how the right is stupid and that Trump is a Nazi. I think everyone would learn a lot more from reliable news sources like Pew News.

The Young Turks has earned its place as the go-to network for America's progressives. Cenk and Ana have become better journalists and presenters over the years, and some of the newer voices like Hasan Piker and Brooke Thomas are fantastic.

If you are not progressive, well, you might not like the show, and perhaps that accounts for some of the lower ratings. They are honest in their evaluations, and those evaluations are based on thorough research and excellent journalism.

Are they biased? Of course. They bill themselves as a progressive show. They provide progressive news commentary, and they do not attempt to simply deliver the news without their take on it. Unlike other organizations, they are quite open about that. But the bias doesn't mean they're wrong -- on the contrary, you will have trouble finding a piece of information used in their research that isn't true. You might not like what they have to say if you're on the right, but this show is the real deal.

If you think you'd enjoy watching a group of people ranting over each other, this might just be the show for you. Perhaps they were watchable ages ago, but it has effectively devolved into Cenk and Ana talking over any of the other presenters that they may have on their show on any given day. Some days they may have an actually reasonable guest on, but they are rather handily drowned out by either Cenk's legendary ranting, or one of Ana's earth shattering temper tantrums. Overall an absolute gem, would recommend.

This show isn't winning awards because it's boring, or fake... It's winning awards because it's real. You don't have to agree with their perspective on everything, but they give you facts and ask questions that other news shows don't. And that's news you can use. a lot of these other reviews are coming from weird places of hate or fear...But if you're really in touch with wha's going on out there, you'll realize TYT is callin out all the other media and politcal BS that's others are spewing. You need to watch this...

This group is highly funded by leftist groups. Without this funding, this network wouldn't last a day. It is hosted by a bunch of dolts that are low I.Q.

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.

They are sell outs. They are disgusting and when caught being terrible at journalism they attack with ridiculous smears and more propaganda pushing. They are NOT left at all, they tow the line for the U. S. Empire. They became trash as soon as they sold out for BIG MONEY. Don't believe anything these people say...

After watching TYT over a matter of years for a left wing view of the news I have come to the view that they are now utterly beyond news and have become a echo chamber for extreme left wing people - justifying Muslim terror and BLM crimes just for YouTube views , shameful dishonest and never willing to repeal mistake and misquotes they have made.

This review is for the people who doesn't know much about TYT. When you first come across their show, you'll see and hear two opposite extreme reactions about them and it might be confusing for someone who doesn't know some background about the show and its two main hosts; Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. Instead of writing about how much I love TYT and what a great show it is, I'll explain what TYT really is, I'll answer some of the most FAQ about them and I'll list some of the frequent lies some people keep telling about them and explain why they are flat-out lies, objectively.

THE NAME

What does the name of the show mean and does it have anything to do with Turkey? Is it a reference to some anti-Armenian group?(NO) The shows name has two simple explanations;

1. The dictionary definition perfectly fits their political views. This is the definition from the Oxford Dictionaries: ''A young person eager for radical change to the established order.'' That's exactly who they are. They are against Hillary as much as they are against Trump.

2. Cenk believes in fighting aggressively for the change for the better and he likes dramatic names. For example he is the one who named the Justice Democrats. Every friday, they have a Power Panel, etc. You got the idea.

The show has nothing to do with Turkey. They cover American Politics.

The shows name has nothing to do with and not a reference to any anti-Armenian group. Go to Wikipedia Young Turks (disambiguation) page, you'll see a lot things, there is even a group of Republicans in the 60s, named Young Turks, so do you think they were also interested in Armenia or Turkey? That is absurd. Accusing Cenk for the shows name is same as accusing someone of beating their wives, just because they are wearing a wife beater, it is a pathetic smear attempt that is ridiculous. People who tell TYT or Cenk is anti-Armenian(or genocide denier) are either flat-out lying or they bought into such lies and repeating them ignorantly.

CENK UYGUR

Who is Cenk Uygur? What's up with his past? Is he a genocide(Armenian) denier?(NO) Is he a muslim apologist?(NO) Is he muslim?(NO) Is he anti-semite?(NO) Did he write some bad stuff in the past?(Yes, but he no longer has those views)

You might have been born into a left or even progressive family in California. But Cenk, like most of us, didn't have parents who were politically savvy. His parents migrated from Turkey when Cenk was 8 and he had to discover a lot of things both about America and Politics, on his own. He is like a protagonist with a character arc from a traditional story. Yes, he was a republican in his youth. As he explained many times, he was trying to be polically incorrect and edgy and as a result he wrote some stupid stuff. But he was open-minded and smart and he grew out of that phase as he learnt more. Not many of us can look at the things we did in our youth without embarrassment. Judge Cenk on what he says on TYT, not on what he said when he was a kid. And be aware, people will use those to attack Cenk because they know they can't attack him for what he stands for now.

Cenk currently accepts the fact that he knows nothing about Armenian genocide and he doesn't deny it. Ana speaks about it freely on the show(she believes it happened) and people(mostly trolls and some who bought into their lies) still calls them deniers. There is a video in which Ana directly responses to that. You can easily find it on Youtube.

Cenk is an agnostic/atheist and he openly mocks all religions, including Islam. When Cenk critisizes killing thousands of civilians in Muslim countries, trolls call him a muslim apologist. The other reason is the famous debate with Sam Harris. Sam, deliberately or otherwise, tries to dehumanize muslims all across the world. His position can be summarized as ''Christianity is bad, but Muslims are fundamentally the worst.'' Cenk knows this kind of talk will dehumanize people in the eyes of an average listener and that is what he is against, in that debate.

Cenk is not an anti-semite. Calling out Israeli goverments oppressive behavior is not same as being an anti-semite. This is a common right-wing nonsense. While they organize nazi marches, clowns like Ben Shapiro call the left anti-semite because they are against oppression.

CONCLUSION

Because IMDb has a certain word-limit, I cannot cover every single thing I originally wanted to. But I believe I did most of the important ones. And I hope I was helpful for people who were confused. If you still have questions, go and see what they have to say for yourself. They have been fighting for progressive ideas for years and despite the tremendeous effort to smear them, they grow bigger and bigger.

Do some research on the genocide denial history of this bunch, and the origin of "The Young Turk" name and you will despise them with the same vigor as I do.

I find their recent attempts at distancing themselves from the issue wholly disingenuous.

There are no neutral journalists on this show. Which is perfectly fine. Journalists are people who can have opinions, as long as their opinions don't alter the facts. I agree with them 95% of the time. Being a political science student and actively involved in American politics, I can confidently say that they cover the facts as well as they can. The fact that the show is or was mostly financed by viewers says a lot.

If distinctions such as the one between causation and co-relation confuse you, then you probably will take issue with their content. Their progressive opinion on the facts they report are not as important as the facts themselves. The important thing is that they cover as many facts as accurately as possible. Not to mention they make corrections when mistakes are made.

Anyone with any experience in the media and politics should have the sense to make these distinctions. Same goes for anyone who can think critically.

Been watching them almost everyday for 7 years. They are not the only news I absorb. In terms of accuracy and fairness in content, it's fairly easy to compare TYT with CNN, MSNBC, FOX etc. A bit of fact checking goes a long way in providing TYT with loads of credibility.

I gave them a 10/10 because relatively speaking, they are one of the best media outlets available. TYT is truly causing profound ripples in politics and media.
