The Young Turks

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
