The Young Turks - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have been a listener since 2016 because I could not understand why no other media would speak the truth. So when I found TYT I knew I found my place for news. I may not always agree with every opinion presented but at least I can count on the facts being factual so that I can reach my own conclusions. When they get something wrong because new information comes out to reveal an error they make sure we find out about it. No other major media outlet does this much to make sure we get the actual truth. They aren’t afraid of any of the powerful folks who control the narrative everywhere else!!!!

Thank you providing honest news with nuance. I really enjoy being able to hear commentators that have the self awareness to criticize politicians, regardless of party, when applicable.

Appreciate how TYT stays focused on the facts - every time, even if it’s something their audience might disagree with. Appreciate the disagreements on the show to give me a more well - rounded perspective.

The Young Turks (TYT), has a honest view of the political landscape. They are a progressive news show and they are fair. They are not afraid to call out the Republicans and Democrats when they are wrong, unlike most media outs.

Cenk is very well versed in politics and political strategy and sometimes very passionate about his stance on a particular issue.

Anna, John, and the rest of the hosts are also very intelligent, thoughtful and passionate about their political views, however they too are not afraid to call out their own for mistakes or for lying to the public.

Cenk’s rants give me life. I don’t usually like listening to lot of yelling but the terrible state of this world and USA’s complicity in it deserves all the yells. It’s therapeutic for me at this point. And I love when Anna goes off, too. Her AIPAC and gun control rants were what made me need to learn more about The Young Turks. Thank you for helping us get through this utterly devastating time.

The Young Turks podcast, led by a figure whose past includes denying the Armenian Genocide, stands as a stark reminder that hypocrisy can wear a progressive mask. Here’s the naked truth:

Denial in Plain Sight: Cenk Uygur, the host, once penned words denying one of the darkest chapters in history, the Armenian Genocide. To deny such an event is not just ignorance; it's an act of historical vandalism. You can't claim to fight bigotry while dismissing the suffering of millions.

Self-Contradiction: They preach progress but in their own archives lies a denial of genocide, akin to Holocaust denial. It's one thing to evolve your views; it's another to carry forward a legacy of denial under the guise of enlightenment.

The Shame of Silence: Apple Podcasts, where are your morals? Hosting a podcast that has roots in genocide denial is like hosting a climate change denier at a conservation conference. It's not just about freedom of speech; it's about the responsibility that comes with a platform.

A Betrayal of Principles: The Young Turks claim to stand for justice, yet their historical revisionism betrays any claim to moral high ground. They speak of human rights but have, in their history, turned a blind eye to the mass extermination of Armenians.

The Bigotry They Reflect: In light of their past, calling them "hate-filled bigots" isn't an overreach; it's a reflection of the hate they've propagated by denying the genocide. You can't erase history with a podcast microphone, no matter how loud you shout over it.

In essence, this podcast isn't just controversial for the sake of discussion; it's a platform that, through its association with genocide denial, perpetuates a form of bigotry that should have no place in modern discourse. It's a lesson in how even those who claim to fight for justice can carry the torch of denial, a torch that should be extinguished, not broadcast.

For those who listen, it's time to question the integrity of a show that, in its foundation, chose to ignore the cries of history. For The Young Turks, the call is not for humor or subtlety; it's for a direct confrontation with their past, a demand for accountability, and a reminder that some things are not up for debate or denial.
