Been listening for 10 years. Great insight into politics and they will hate on both sides.

Interesting content, poor arguments
I listened to the Tucker Carlson episode with Ana Kasparian and I thought that she had a lot of interesting viewpoints, especially as it pertains to the current state of the U.S. government as well as the genocide occurring in the Gaza Strip. I was a bit disappointed when I listened to a few episodes of The Young Turks. Ana is great and her arguments follow a consistent line of logic, but Cenk is just annoying. He’s whiny, loud, and passionate to the point of obnoxiousness. Rather than discussing the issue in a controlled, professional manner, he typically devolves into a shouting match with his microphone. It makes for a difficult and rather cringy podcast episode. I understand you’re fervor, but man is it hard to listen to

Cenk and Ana are the voice of the people
I love the passion and common sense takes of the main hosts. I wish the other side co hosts were more interesting. A good time to rebrand and expand. This is my go to show for the latest news.

Love TYT but,
I love this pod but even I’m 100% in agreement with their stance on the Israel/Gaza conflict, I think they take way too much time just talking about this particular issue when they’re so many different issues happening in the world right now. Please don’t take 80% of the show on Israel/Gaza when Trump’s destroying American democracy.

Wow a news show with women!
As a woman I get tired of just hearing men report on the news and I adore listening to Ana and all your female guests. Thanks also for the show, generally (except John can’t stand that guy, seriously). You obviously have talking points like any other news commentary show but it’s the only one that I can actually stand listening to (except John) because you exist outside the establishment. I was initially listening to some other shows but all they do is tow the Democrat line and as an independent I’m not interested in that even if I think you’re wrong on some women’s issues. Thanks!

Seriously?
I actually listened your interview on Tucker Carlson, the first time I have ever listened to his show. I don’t have a problem with having a conversation with the other side, no matter who it is. However, the flattery given to him, platforming him on YT…nope. I am unsubscribing and I hope other people do as well. Trashing Newson, who is the only One standing up to this facist regime, I think that is disgusting. Go ahead and keep pushing your narrative against all democrats. Y’all are partly responsible for T2. Thanks. Thanks a lot. 😒

While the personalities can be overwhelming, it has character. They look through the noise so I don’t have to

Stand up for what is right!
Thank you both for saying it how it is and fighting everyday for what is right in this world
@Sherman74!
Not impressed
Ana seems to be the only one to think critically. Otherwise lots of emotional statements and whining arguments.

Impartial and honest
Ana and Cenk represent Americans and are always impartial and honest. I respect them.

Great coverage great to listen to
Love this show! Ana is very pleasant to listen to, but Cenk can get a bit too passionate (in a yelling type of way). In some of his arguments he comes off a bit immature, but alas can at times conjure a smile out of me. Great show worth a listen!

Is this a long term prank?
I don’t know how you can justify continuing to claim that TYT is the home of progressives. You might want to change that slogan to something more applicable…

Not What it Was
Disappointing. 2.5 stars
EdeTM
Right most of the time
TYT is correct 95% of the time. I like it that they’re willing to disagree with other progressives at times. The idea that TYT is somehow too right wing is just hysteria.

Awesome
I have listened to the young Turks since the America Day and I will never stop love everyone on the show

Cenk
You guys should have stopped the tape and given Cenk a chance to catch his breath and calm down. I was worried he was going to have a heart attack he got himself so worked up.
Don’t want a nick name.
pro trump
Kyle and Krystal owned him 😂😂 skip
loomasauris
Loved it….. but
Every time I listen I understand why we are losing young people. We are just so out of touch and hysterical about everything…
Lorax69
Mostly great
Love the show and the analysis. However, cannot listen to Ana any more. Her sanctimonious and pedantic commentary is just surface level opining, no real depth or research on her part.

Disappointing - not honest reporting
TYT credits themselves with honest, balanced reporting, but that’s because they don’t realize their biases. Even Ana is guilty but much better than Cenk. Sometimes the reporting of President Trump is outright wrong, but the information is presented as if the issue were investigated thoroughly and the reporting completely factual. I am searching for a rational, left-leaning show that will provide balance to my usual diet of right-leaning shows, but TYT’s hysterics is hard to listen to and outright irritating. I am still searching because TYT isn’t the answer . . .

Ana
You should have your own platform. Cenk makes you look dumb. Addition by subtraction.

Schizophrenic
TYT complains about government debt but can’t find a single program they want to cut. So confusing!!!!

Not very good
I try to listen to a variety of takes, but good god. Cenk is only alive to yell and whine. I’m sure he is a fine person with some good takes, but I can not listen to this trash for more than 15 minutes. I am a conservative and I don’t really care what they have to say about republicans and trump. Just shut up for a bit and perhaps let Ana talk. This show is an absolute joke just like Cenk’s presidential campaign. It is pretty funny how the commies in the reviews are whining because they are “republican shills” and “bought by Israel” when they are some of the most liberal and crazy antisemites I have ever seen. Oh, may think about changing the name from a genocidal group from WWII. I wonder what would happen if they called themselves the young n*zis

Another presidential run for Cenk
Please just run Jordan Uhl…I love you on the Insurgents podcast. You do not deserve cenk attacking you personally at work. Last time this happened, he fired Francesca. Leave Cenk!

Awesome
TYT is one of the few news outlets that I trust. When it happens that they get stuff wrong they fess up. They have integrity and shoot straight. I don’t always agree with their take but when I disagree I respect what they have to say.

Independent, principled and refreshing
Without doubt TYT is a left leaning independent news outlet but is principled enough to call out the hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle. The best part, if when you disagree with their opinions, they explain their thought process to how or why they feel this way.

Enough is enough
I used to love this show but the hosts lost my trust. We have so much to fight against and you all can’t stop talking about how old Joe Biden is. You all used to be such a beacon of hope and now you can’t stop attacking an old man who is no longer in office. Truly sad.

Jokes
These people are a joke and wear red hats to bed. Cenk and his cohost Anna support racism and hate are MaGas in the closet.

Used to be progressive NOT NOW
The Executive Producer Ana of this Progressive network went on Glen Beck and Pierce Morgan to announce she "LEFT THE LEFT" so why she can stay on the home of progressives is bananas. They were definitely fighters for the left now they have just caved
Ims101121
The BEST news show to ever exist
Real and factual. Fair to all sides. Progressive leaning, but very critical of all politicians in the establishment. I listen everyday
brasky190
Fantastic independent outlet
TYT breaks down the news cycle with insight and courage. They’re brave enough to stick with their convictions no matter what the current cultural movement maybe. Left viewpoints with honesty about the good and the bad. I only wish they had the means for more independent reporting themselves and not just commentary, but the news media is tough and we’re lucky to have them

TYT Home of the Progressives?
TYT needs to change their description to Home of the Moderately Left and some occasional Right Wing false narratives. This network has left their core audience behind and is now pandering to other mainstream networks/pundits and spends more time attacking their own side than pushing back against the Right. I gave it two stars instead of one because it was the network that brought me to progressivism. Sad to see Cenk and Ana stoop so low. Also, it’s sad to see that John (who was the only reason I followed TYT the past 2-3 years) has no backbone.

No corporate framing
I found The Young Turks during Bernie’s first run. I had given up on news because they all obviously served corporate interests. Their job is not to deliver current event, but to serve as a PR firm for one party and get you to support endless war. MS MSNBC, CNN Fox... none of these outlets will ever talk about our planets, public enemy number one: billionaires, corporations, and money in politics. These guys talk about the real issues every day.

Aren’t we supposed to build each other up?
So disappointing to see them tearing down Francesca
MarthaJune222
Cenk step down, coward.
I just listened to Cenk trying to drag Francesca but only projects what he does to others. This guy spent all night angry coming up with sound bites, makes him look small and weak. Go to Midas Network 🤗

Why The SUDDEN Random Caps?
Maybe I’m just noticing it, but using random (all)-caps in episode descriptions has such a MAGA-style, tabloid vibe to it. Maybe that’s the way you want to go with the TYT brand, but it looks a bit right wing and desperate. When Cenk is on, I often avoid listening in the last several months. I don’t always agree with Ana, but I still like her. Will listen to anything John is on, and will also always listen if Francesca is ever on. The show goes from like a 2/5 to a 5/5 when John is there because he really is the Dragon Daddy.

Don’t listen
They clearly hate democrats and have zero problems with republicans. If that’s your thing.

Information based!
Love this podcast and it looks like trolls are trying to drive down ratings. I am here to say this is an amazing podcast that provides good fact based information!

The Uninformed and the Biased
I enjoy many different podcasts and try to appreciate all points view. Sometimes, people are off the mark, make errors and reference incorrectly, but no one’s perfect. Unfortunately, in TYT’s case, they are always biased and so uninformed as to be laughable, except that there are people who think the opinions of Cenk and Ana have any value at all. There needs to be a disclaimer that information is unverifiable.

Dissatisfaction
I was a member and avid listener many years ago. But you stopped covering as much news and replaced it with more opinions. Then, Ana said she would not vote for Biden in 2020! I stopped listening at that time. I thought she was extremely unprofessional! I am just now, finally, unfollowing TYT😢

Ana’s Advice to Younger Self
What a lovely, heartfelt sharing. Your passion and incredibly hard work are so appreciated. You are such an honest and good person. Some people just can’t help themselves with their cruelty.

Quality has really gone down the last 3 weeks. I never thought it would happen. I think maybe A and C are trying too hard to break news and have stopped analyzing the news. Not sure, but hopefully they’ll let John or someone sub and re-evaluate.
