Cenk Uygur. Politico goes after Bernie, Fox host says “meh” to innocent kids being killed; Trump camp says they were spied on; Glenn Beck goes full MAGA
Thank you for covering the Politico article. It got waved at me by centrist friends and as the token foreign socialist in our group, it had me really disheartened, because it was nothing like what I’d heard and I wondered if I’d missed something. On the one hand, I’m glad to know what the detractors are saying. On the other, I’m also glad to know what the counterarguments are, and I knew where I wasn’t going to hear them.
THANK YOU GLENN BECK!! Thank you for announcing the unquestionable fact that republicans are driven by their emotions.
He did a total 180 on a very strong, and principled, stance. Because he was INSULTED?! So that he could make someone else mad? Because he was caused mental anguish by the news media??
I take my positions because I think they are the best. I don’t do it to anger someone else. I don’t care what opposing media says. I don’t change my positions in a dime because I’m mad.
Glenn Beck just announced to the world that all he cares about are his feelings.
For the first time in years, I had zero desire to watch TYT. That’s how turned off I am by Friday’s Carol Costello appearance. Very disappointed to read the main show and post-game comments and see that they didn’t even address the elephant in the room.
Agreed. I was hoping to see in the post game an apology or at least addressing the members concerns. Seems they are going to ignore us and do whatever the hell they want to appease their investors. It’s fucking depressing.
Mid East Conflict
Zero excuse for Israel now, or last couple of decades since they proved Arab countries can’t drive them into the sea as they pledged for the first few decades trying to back it up with massive armies
Zero excuse not to tell the truth, terror and war is fed by big money backers and won’t end as long as they can make a buck off it. Like Israel sold their off shore gas rights to Russia – seems odd – maybe promise to not outfit another Arab army for Israel to decimate, not supply Hamas with a few thousand rockets to rain on Israel?
Again, we in Washington State apologize profusely for allowing Glenn Beck to live and survive here while he was growing up. In retrospect, we should have institutionalized him from the get go. Sorry everyone, we fucked up
Every employer who made me take endless tests told me I’m a beta, a follower, not an alpha like them…..
Then why do I have ZERO interest in following Trump, or even Cenk?
ohhhhh, those personality tests are just more corporate garbage to make sociopaths who walked over everyone on way to top feel better!
Instead of celebrating the submission of Glenn Beck to Trump, which was eventual since Beck is on the verge of bankruptcy and wants back at Trump’s Pravda, Cenk should take a much closer look on Beck’s points and he will realize that Beck was right, Trump has, for the most part, fulfilled the most important part of the promises on the bucket list of the uber-right republican base, something no one ever has done before on either party.
His achievements are real and while the left may not care about where the embassy is 85% of evangelicas, that is 25% of all voters, do. Banning trans people in the military is not a voter repellent to a base that does not acknowledge their right to exist.
On the recognition issue: The goal post keeps moving. The latest requirement is that Israel be recognized as a jewish state, implying that there will be no right of return and that current arab israeli citizens could be kicked out of their homes.
I agree Monday’s show was much better than Friday’s but I still feel it lacked substance. There are important things happening in this country & a broad but TYT chooses to cover things like Glen Beck being the sniveling piece of shit that he usually is. Cenk’s anger over the Politico hit piece was good but hollow when he repeatedly goes to publications like Politico for stories to cover. If they are so terrible at actual reporting shouldn’t he be looking elsewhere? Like real progressive publications like Truth Dig and The Intercept or hell even their own TYT Investigates? Stories from actual progressive outlets are few & far between on the main show and that’s very disappointing.
Also I feel members should be encouraged to share their opinions and thoughts in the comment sections. Just because some of us don’t agree or feel other’s are being more harsh than they themselves would be is no reason to be nasty to each other. Name calling & mud slinging is shit right wing conservatives do because they have no actual strongly held beliefs or morals. As Progressives we should be able to hear someone else’s opinion w/o becoming defensive or combative.
I agree with you on about half your comment but in particular I think you’re wrong about the the Politico criticism being hollow. Just because Politico is clearly biased to one side doesn’t mean they’re not a good source in other ways, just like how RT is good when it’s not about Russia’s government, Al Jazeera is good when it’s not about Qatar. Not to mention, I’m pretty sure they use Intercept stories as often as any other outlets, and of course they use TYT Investigates. There are very, very few outlets that actively try to root out their own biases, and few progressive outlets, so they can’t get everything from those places nor should they.
I totally agree that there are very few progressive outlets so all the stories can’t come from those places nor should they but I definitely think more of the stories covered should come from them. It’s been my observation that most of TYT’s stories come from The New York Times, Washington Post, Talking Points Memo, Politico & Buzz Feed w/some Intercept(conceded) & Guardian stories thrown in there, but there have only been a handful of TYT Investigates stories highlighted on the main show. Also I think your comparison of RT & Al Jazeera to Politico doesn’t track as they are more broad organizations that provide an outlet or cover themselves a lot of different topics & genres where as Politico is self described as a Politics, Policy & Political News Magazine meaning they only cover USA politics. I think that’s an important distinction.
Note that Nixon swept his second term election winning the electoral votes in 49 out of 50 states. Massachusetts was the only hold out. Loved the bumper sticker on cars with Massachusetts license plates: “Don’t blame me; I’m from Massachusetts.”
bustnuts ~ question…When has Cenk EVER been “too far left?” I would say, NEVER.
What was more disheartening is people name-calling other members for noting that TYT over-emphasizes the Russiagate, or out of nowhere, has a MSM shill on, or announces new shows that will only be available for an additional $40 a month on YouTube TV.
Would I like to see Cenk interview MSM news-actors about their phony-baloneyness?
ABSOLUTELY!
Do I want to see them on a POWER PANEL, where Cenk visibly bites his lip when they’re white-washing?
NO.
Putting challenging views on the main show is a good thing and a step in the right direction. TYT has been monochrome for quite sometime and the only “difference” we get is Jimmyboy and Michael Shure which is not saying much (Shure may I remind everyone here is a Berniecrat contrary to popular belief).
The only reason people oppose putting different views on the main show, or any other show, is because they know deep in their heart that their beliefs are weak and built on a house of cards.
As for the $40/month, I understand this from a business PoV. TYT is not a charity and needs the money to finance its operation and from experience, money does not grow on trees in the backyards of people doing the good work, it only comes freely to sellouts or truly evil people.
Better be beholden to subscribers than a liberal Koch.
30 minutes of an opinion piece about nothing. Glenn Beck is a phony, Fox News is uncaring…? How is this hard hitting? There is no edge, or worthwhile information. Where is the actual reporting. I’m starting to become disenchanted with tyt. Is it me, or is it becoming everything it criticizes?

At least there is still Democracy Now.

Cenk, faux = “Foe” not “Faw”. Still love you though!

I’m from Wisconsin. I get it. (An example: Paul Ryan)

Beck folds….he’s a career media-troglodyte where ratings dictate and rule. Not surprised.
Oh, here’s a link to an article Chis Hedges wrote for Truthdig, just to remind everyone what’s at stake here

Glenn beck = cuckservative.
I thought he was Kernel Sanders until he put the hat on.
cenk please please please pronounce faux like “foe”
Seconded!
Red MAGA hats look like circumcisions gone wrong. Beck’s head is the perfect shape.
Thank you, Cenk is back to normal. Am I glad.
Yay! Cenk is back and pulling no punches!
Pffff. One of our news story was about Glenn Beck kissing ass? So what. He’s happy with his tax breaks, go figure and you’re welcome.
Omg, Cenk Uygur shows his face. I guess the backlash from Friday’s show was read loud and clear. Good show today.
Note that Nixon swept his second term election winning the electoral votes in 49 out of 50 states. Massachusetts was the only hold out. Loved the bumper sticker on cars with Massachusetts license plates: “Don’t blame me; I’m from Massachusetts.”
The same MA that voted for Reagan in 80 and 84.
Yikes! What a bunch of cry-baby-piss-pants in this comment section.
“Fridays show had someone from mainstream media on it, waaaa wah wah wah waaaaaah!”
“Then today Cenk went too far to the left, waaaaaah wah wah wah sniff waaaaaah!”
There are worse things in life coming your way. That turnip truck you just fell off of is just the beginning of your problems.
*likes comment*
Agreed.
whining about whining. waah
Nice try, Ralphy.
thought it was clever………maybe not…..more clever than Costello
Well, yes, it was that.

they’re a cable channel now – you give the APPEARANCE of teeth without actually biting anyone
Someone needs to tell Beck that the only difference between a brown-nose and a shit-head is depth perception.
interesting over compensation for the dumpster fire on Friday … didn’t even do a full blown Trump or Russia rant
you’d almost think that he was desperately trying to suck up or something ;-)
hey who changed the channel from Friday….:)
Xenophrenia on Friday: “Why doesn’t Cenk listen to his members?”
Xenophrenia on Monday: “Cenk is desperately trying to suck up to his members.”
If this isn’t trolling I don’t know what is.
it’s telling the truth honey – telling the truth is trolling now ;-) … nice try
