In Membership, The Young Turks Shows - Podcast Audio by Elderrune4 Comments

The anniversary of Brown v Board of Education prompted a study that showed how far we still are from desegregation of schools.  A Sudanese woman has been sentenced to the death penalty for converting from Muslim to Christian to marry her husband.  They originally gave her 1 week to switch back, but when she refused, they handed her the death sentence.  She is currently in jail, pregnant, and with her 18 month old son.

A Georgia woman is suing her town after they passed a law that requires people to have an official purpose to buy a sex toy.  A 34 year old woman posed as a 15 year old and went to high school.  A fan of Rihanna went on a search to wear a dress that was inspired by her favorite singer.  After she gets the dress done, she posted the picture on Instagram, which caught the attention of Rihanna, who made fun of her trying to look as good as she does.

A school that collects data on all of its students will not release what they collect on his student unless he pays $10,000.  A big Republican lobbyist was arrested after cops found cocaine and oxycodone in his possession while driving all over the road.  He claimed that he was on the drugs because he was stressed out by the rigors of his job.

  1. I finally figured out what TYT is missing. One word describes it. Competency. Attention to detail is part of it. Does anyone actually go back and test the links, etc. to be sure the menus are functioning the way they’re supposed to?

    Where’s the fucking video? How hard can it be to upload the video? It’s always something. No video, frequent interruptions and stoppage of the stream. Maybe TYT has a prostate problem. Why don’t you take some of that indiegogo money we donated and endow a couple of positions for some technical people who know what they’re doing and who pay attention to details?

    And quit messing with the format. I just start to get used to one format and then somebody changes it. I suspect it is just for “artistic” qualities, because it certainly doesn’t function any better. Despite the comments of some who like the changes, I personally don’t. Use BLACK fonts so we can more easily read the damn thing. And discrete boxes around the links were better than these are – just floating around with messed up and inconsistent margins in each column.

    Of course nobody will read this because it comes from the official membership site and not from U-Tube or Twitter. Yet another example of the perils of membership.

  2. Getting real sick of the lack of consistency. How hard is it to upload video. My 10 yr old does it. Bad enough the main star is gone. TYT you could at least make sure that you put the video up correctly. Getting real close to just canceling and finding another show to get my political news from…. Come on TYT. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. I think some one forgot to upload the video of this page and only uploaded the audio. Could someone at TYT fix this?
