The Young Turks Review

Presenters: Cenk Uygur (primary), Ana Kasparian (secondary) and contributions from numerous others.
Time: 21:00 - 23:00 (EST)/02:00 - 04:00 (GMT)

The Young Turks is an independent news show available online at www.tytnation.com. What I will be mainly focusing on is the main show. To watch the entire main show you will either have to buy TYT membership or watch it live on YouTube. They do upload some clips to YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/theyoungturks

The first hour of the show is presented by Cenk Uygur and the second hour is hosted by Cenk and Ana Kasparian. The exception is Friday when the first hour is a panel of Cenk and two other presenters.

Now onto why you should watch TYT! Cenk doesn't beat around the bush, he'll say exactly what he thinks and always tells you the truth. He is certainly left wing but is still very critical of the Democrats, and particularly Obama. The show tend to support social libertarianism and takes economics from a left-wing slant. They support the legalisation of all drugs, prostitution and gay marriage. They desperately want money out of politics, so much that Cenk founded a Political Action Committee called Wolf-PAC to try and achieve it. Cenk gets very passionate on every show, but he doesn't let his emotions get in the way of presenting you with the cold, hard facts.
