Agreed. Cenk is like far-left Limbaugh with significantly fewer jowls.

I liked them before I went to college. Now they're pretty much HPs.

This explains why I like TYT despite their repugnant ideology (Cenk, like Rush, is hilarious).

Horrible show. If Donald Trump were to imitate what screaming left-wing pundits sound like, it would probably be a word-for-word copy of a Young Turks episode. They add nothing to the conversation, and only serve to make the left look bad.

I barf everytime i see Cenk, he keeps doing the same "OH MY GOD!!! XXX oh ho ho ho!!!" routine every time.  I like the commentary from everybody else. Just not cenk's act.

Crazy how 2 years ago the same poll had the complete opposite results. They are for getting money out of politics so obvious FF.

Obviously the quality of the actual show has taken a nosedive.

I suspect a lot of people who come across them on YT are not aware of the show's political leanings; a lot of their most popular videos are about celebrities saying/doing something stupid or some poor sod getting an horrific injury.

Agreed.  I like Cenk's abrasiveness and his standby lines like "Of COOOURSE!!!"  Definitely better than anyone on MSNBC.

Great show of course. Makes sense that low energy Atlas wouldn't like them.

Decent show, terrible name. The young Turks were disgusting genocidal bastards and are not worthy of glorification.

Seems the same to me, what has changed to make it so disliked.?

It's not glorification (after all one of the co-hosts is Armenian) just a pun since the main creator was literally a "young Turk" when it started, although yeah that's kind of like if a show hosted by a Cambodian woman who liked wearing cheek makeup decided to name it "Khmer Rouge"

I've never watched a full episode of the show, just various clips, but it does seem they focus too much on the entire "Wow can you believe this? Some random obscure Republican legislator just said something stupid!" instead of relevant things.

Freedom show, Cenk can be a bit bombastic at times but he's generally a fair minded guy and has had guests ranging from Peter Schiff to Noam Chomsky on his show that he engages with critically. I think that we need more like him.

Was always terrible, has now entered truly uncharted levels of terrible now that they have Michael Tracey on it.
