  1. Holy shit TYT you fucked up letting Nomiki go. She was amazeballs and will be a fucking progressive star for years to come. Seriously though, thank you for bringing her to us and giving her a platform, but what the fuck she is the shiiittttt. Better bring in more progressive voices to make up for that loss.
    Having said that, some of the people commenting here are saying the dumbest shit I’ve ever come across.
    They cite an article written by a well-known TYT hater who obviously skewed the report to make it look like TYT is firing strong women and threw in the drudged up dirt on Cenk and Hassan just to put a super fine point on it. PATRIARCHY. Ughughughuuuhgggg fuck off.
    They pretend to know how this company works like oh my god you fucking build up and run a company this influential and important from nothing.
    If something happens that they don’t like they instantly fire up the conspiracy machine.
    They criticize the panel for not acting exactly how they want them to act at all fucking times. This panelist didn’t say enough, these women were talking too much. Why do they make jokes. Shut the fuck up.
    They criticize the stories for being drumpf-heavy/russia-heavy, but seem to forget the last 2 years+ have been that way so why the fuck are you still here jesus crunch just leave already.
    Also why are people getting so mad at comments? Lighten up everybody. Lighten. The. Fuck. Up. Please. Myself included.
    Ok bye.

  2. R-E-L-A-X… I like/d Hannah Cranston… I love Ben Mankiewicz appearances… I don’t care for Jimmy Dore and “Aggressive Progressives”, all that much… I understand that organizations have people come and go, sometimes against my wishes… My $10 a month is more than worth it even with little Ben and Cenk appearances being spotty… Please give up on the anti-Russia and Trump complaints… After all, The Maroon is President of the USA with Russian help; and has already been responsible for great damage to the American national policies at State, Education, EPA, Housing, diplomacy and American revenues… If the news stories on TYT are not progressive enough for y’all, gosh. there are other outlets to go to… I love Thom Hartman, Stephanie Miller, “The Real News”, “Free Speech TV” and the like, BUT the audiences are small compared to Fox, CNN and MSNBC, let alone the TYT Network… Please look at the big picture….

  4. Got $20 million from Wall Street back in August 2017 but TYT doesn’t have enough payroll to keep 5 senior staffers plus Nomiki & Hannah? Thought that money was to expand both the company & the viewership? Also fucked up that TYT hasn’t said shit to the members about this & have been uploading new Think Tank videos all weekend. Real classy TYT.

    1. So much for their investigative journalism division. Losing Nomiki Konst is a rather large blow to the company, and I also liked Hannah Cranston as well. She is better than most of the random people that TYT drags off the street for these ‘power panels’ nowadays. Also rather getting tired of TYT acting like the rest of the MSM and either covering Russia non-stop, or devoting far too much time to the stupid comments that Trump makes on a daily basis. I dunno, these seem like dark times for me. If Jimmy Dore ever leaves for whatever reason, I might be done as a member myself.

    2. Nomi was a part of the $2M campaign that many of us donated to. Looks like Michael Tracy is the only one left from that group of hirees. This is disturbing.

      1. Thank you for pointing out that Nomiki was part of the TYT Army $2M campaign, apparently that $2M didn’t go far. & yes this is disturbing.

        1. I’m really bothered by the Nomiki Konst layoff. I mean her connections with Bernie, Nina, the Democratic Party for the behind the scenes truth to power stories not just what’s reported in MSM. Or always choosing to do non Trump reports like Puerto Rico, IDC, Unity Committee, Jeremy Corbyn. In interviews where she was asked about working with TYT, she’d talk about how proud she was to have been hired by the members through fundraising.

          But what’s ironic is we helped TYT to raise $2M for these reporters to have their reporting & stories relegated to only appear on Facebook or YouTube, both content platforms aimed at non-paying public audiences where TYT earns $ and ad data from the views/clicks. But the members have NerdAlert, does anyone really watch that show? It doesn’t look like it from their YouTube views https://www.youtube.com/user/NerdAlert.

          I guess TYTLive’s daily 2 hour coverage of Trump is what the viewers want.

  6. I can understand why TYT fired Nomiki Konst (she wasn’t anti-Russian enough), but why fire Hannah Cranston? She was a total Russophobe! Not to mention a good team player. Has TYT fired that Russian producer yet?

    1. Where exactly are you getting this information from? Was this divulged from TYT itself? Or are you just another online troll spreading misinformation?

        1. You must be one of Dore’s groupies, huh?

          The only dipshit here is you, because you clearly didn’t read the article. Nowhere does it say they were fired. It explicitly says that both declined to comment, and TYT hasn’t divulged any further information. We don’t know whether this was a voluntary or an involuntary leave. Until we get more information, either form TYT, or Nomiki or Hannah, let’s err on the side of caution.

          1. I’m one of Dore’s fans, what are you trying to imply there? It’s obvious you did not read the article as the first fucking sentence says that TYT LAID OFF 5 employees & the very next sentence says that Nomiki & Hannah were among them. They did decline to comment for that article but both put out tweets that didn’t out right say they were fired but definitely also didn’t say they were leaving on their own. Maybe be curious & do some investigating yourself instead of waiting for TYT to spoon feed you their version.

            Don’t hold your breath waiting for TYT to address this to anyone’s satisfaction. TYT did the layoffs on Thursday the 14th & hasn’t said shit yet. But TYT is still uploading hannah’s Thinktank videos like they haven’t fired her.

            1. Received the TYT Network news letter email thing today after writing the above. It had a little blurb almost at the end of the email that says this about the firings: TYT MEMBER NEWS
              In an effort to deliver you cutting-edge, progressive content, we are constantly evaluating and evolving our programs. This month, “The News With Dan Rather” and “Think Tank” will end their runs on the TYT Network. We are so proud of the work done on these shows, and we look forward to bringing you new member-exclusive offerings in the coming months.

              This is probably all we’ll get from TYT about this too.

    3. I am not at all surprised that they fired Hannah. She was terrible, and everybody (including me) always complained every time she was on the main show.

  7. WHOA Helen Hong maybe my 3rd fav. panel memeber, I love TYT fridays Power Panel’s!! Btw I watch 1 day late never get on live, wanna give a shoutout to the powerpanel for friday 15th !!!

  13. I thought this was a “power pane”. These shows are getting to be more and more “the Ana Show.” My membership is a waste.

    1. Window pane? Just kidding, I know you meant pain. I would have liked hearing more from Paolo, too. :3

  14. Thought Connor Paolo needed to speak up more; he added about as much as RWJ when he was on. Hong went on a little too much; she needs to make her point and then let other people jump in.

    1. I don’t even remember what he said but between Helen and Ana it’s not like he could get a word in. Helen needs to dial it down a bit.

  15. This Connor Paulo person added NOTHING to this hour for me. I’ve never seen anything he’s been in so I have no idea if he’s a good actor or not (he could probably make a lot of money as a Rachel Maddow impersonator), but he’s not a good TYT guest host IMHO.

    1. Connor Paolo was the Young Alexander in 2004’s abomination about Alexander the Great. Among other things, and he is a vocal advocate for Progressive values. Nice guy. But honestly, Jered Leto as Hephaistieon? I think not, little kitty.

  16. I’m pretty sure TYT doesn’t read these comments, but if they do, please, please no more Helen Hong. I’ve never seen her provide any new insights or perspectives. I watch TYT to get that, not to see someone practice their stand-up routine.

  18. :-) I really liked this panel. I don’t remember ever seeing Helen before but I loved her. I also (don’t kill me) have no idea who Connor is but I liked what he had to say.
