In [DEAD] Member Interview by hmdalloul0 Comments

1. How old are you and what state do you live in?

My age is the same as Cenk, same month…but the 9th. I live in London, England.

2.When did you become a member of TYT?

Not entirely sure but I’ve been supporting the network ‎since forever.

3. How do you consume the show?

Funnily enough, even though I’m a member. I watch the clips on YouTube.

4. What field do you work in?

I’m a lawyer/ attorney.‎

5. How would you describe TYT in 5 words or less?

Honest, Real, Passionate, ‎Witty, Clever

6. Do you have a favorite TYT moment?

Cenk goes ballistic over the ignorance of US citizens about Saddam Hussein’s involvement in the 911 attacks… All time classic! (07.09.2006) I still watch it.

7. Who is your favorite co-host? Why?

John Ladarola. He is a chameleon. ‎Very smart. Very laid back. Very underrated. He can do the serious news in the first hour (suit and all) but still present or participate credibly across all the other shows on the TYT network. He is a real credit to TYT. Cenk has to be nice to him or he may be poached.

8. What motivated you to take the extra step of becoming a paying member?

I really appreciated the time, effort, dedication and belief that went into it the project of TYT, so I had to support it.

9. Are you surprised that the The Young Turks has grown into a multiplatform network of multiple channels?

Not at all. Does this make me a prophet?

10. Cenk often talks about the TYT brand as “truth telling.” What does this mean to you as a member?

Just tell the facts from a neutral perspective. Good or bad, warts and all. That’s the only way people will be able to determine ‎what the truth is.

11. Which TYT host would you get coffee with? Which one would you go to the bar with? Who would you have dinner with?

Coffee – Ana

Bar- John, Jayur, Ben and Jimmy

Dinner – Cenk and Jayur

12. If you were a co-host on the show, which story would you cover? Why?

At present – the Ebola virus. Why? Too much misinformation.

13. Have you ever communicated with other TYT fans? If so, how?

No. Not yet.

14. Has the show convinced you to change your position on a particular issue?

Funnily enough, the show affirmed my position on a lot of topics‎. Difference was TYT put it out there and didn’t give a hoot. I just kept everything inside.

15. Have you ever referred membership to anyone? If so, what did you say?

I always do. Everybody around me knows of The Young Turks.
