Haven't followed news about him in a long while. I was at one point subscribed to the Young Turks back when I was younger and more retarded. Couldn't take the intellectual dishonesty and inconsistency.

[Miristheiss]

Negative. He is too far left and supports some cooky things. He is too angry. I've seen him just telling people off. I saw him debate Douglas Murray about the Israel/Gaze situation and he just lost it.

His co-host "ANA"? She seems more in the middle and is becoming rational and having more common sense about some issues.

I've heard Elon Musk may take some ideas from Uyger on this cutting government waste task he has.

[BlackRose97]

I look at him as the left wing Alex Jones. Not necessarily negative, just more like a character that I don't believe is genuine. To me, both of those guys seem like actors playing a role.

[Friendlybro79]

How did you come to this conclusion? What do you really know about him?

[BlackRose97]

@Friendlybro79 both use excessive hyperbole, both are dishonest, both are overly emotional and loud. One is left wing, one right right wing. I've seen enough of both of their content to know their full of shit and regularly mislead their viewers.

[BlackRose97]

But full of shit in the entertainment sense, not that I believe they believe the things they say. They're just selling a product, and there are tons of buyers. Even if they occasionally present themselves as lucid.

[BlackRose97]

They're*

[Friendlybro79]

He's definitely loud I'll give you that. What did he specifically lie about?

[BlackRose97]

@Friendlybro79 many things over the years that I've seen. So I'm guessing you're one of his followers. Just understand that the way you see Alex Jones is the way many people see Çenk. You don't recognize it because he caters to your own personal ideologies. That's the nature of the business that he's in.

[Friendlybro79]

You assume too much about me. I understand how you're comparing him but I want to understand what specifically makes you feel that way. People feel many things that they don't justify well. Alex Jones is a snake oil salesman and conspiracy theorist. I don't agree with everything Cenk says or even his methods of delivering a message at times. That said, I'm not trying to repeat myself sarcastically but what did he say that you think he's an equal an opposite version of Alex Jones? I don't see that at all. They both arei CEO of their shows. Besides him being boisterous, that method doesn't make him just selling a product. We all get paid to do what we do and he doesn't accept money from advertisers so they give you their honest perspective. They're one of few sources that although lean left, (which doesn't mean fake news) is critical of the democrats more than anyone. They're fair in my opinion but I do respect you don't have to agree with the progressive standpoint. I don't see how he's lying the way you describe vaguely.

[BlackRose97]

@Friendlybro79 I'm saying that I've actively listened to him telling lies about different political topics around things like abortion, COVID, or police encounters. Or stuff about Trump. The same way I see Alex Jones tell those lies but on the other side. I think they're both snake oil salesman. I don't agree with the left wing or the right wing on most of those polarized topics. They're disingenuous and hyperbolic more often than not. It's fine to have a preference towards one side or the other, but I won't blindly follow anyone on either side. I'll question everyone as much as I can.

[Friendlybro79]

Ok listen I just want to explain that I don't expect you're going to be able to quote him. You're making claims without specifics but I am not trying to harass you so nevermind. When people say someone is a liar, I will ask what did they lie about specifically.
If the answer is they lied about abortion, that isn't helpful. I meant he said this about this and here's why it isn't true. Nevermind thank you though

[BlackRose97]

@Friendlybro79 wait you want me to review all of his content from the last few years and find instances of dishonesty? That's not a real request and you know it. You're just mad that I'm not on your side. Do you actually believe that he only tells the truth? Legitimately? Do you listen to content from people and record the date and time, bookmark the content and save it for future conversations, or do you go "yeah, that's not true." I don't have a single example of anyone telling any lie saved for any reason. If your really want me to do that research for you, I will, but you have to make it worth my time. Put a bit enough bet down, and I'll make it happen.

[Friendlybro79]

No one thing. One freaking thing he said that made you feel he is the equal and opposite to Alex Jones. I am not interested if you agree with me I am trying to understand you're perspective and be a human being and be open minded. I no longer care about this. It's ok please go and have a good day.

[Summeroflove]

Chunked Yogurt thinks people should have sex with animals.

[Juxtapose]

I think he is a bit far left for me but he has been coming around lately and he's one of the reasonable people on the progressive side.

[Friendlybro79]

He is reasonable and progressive because those two things are similar. Progressive want reasonable things for everyone. Progressive defined by the right isn't what being progressive means. Cenk is fair and will criticize the left and right very hard.

[monorprise]

He is populous left line Ann, watch an interview with him and kind of respect his position.

I don't agree with his goals but you can work with this guy.

[worldscolide]

Use to fucking hate him, but now, along with Ana, he appears to be finally opening his eyes.

[worldscolide]

I'm neutral

[JesseP1nk]

I consider myself convervative i have neutral view on Cenk. He has good points i agree with and there are things i dont agree with.

[Anonymous]

Hard to say I respect his conviction and pragmatism.

[Kingofkings1992]

He’s a total idiot

[monorprise]

@Kingofkings1992
I use to think that too then I watch this interview and it adds up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9-sVjUtcZk

The guy is definitely a liberal who want the same leftist stuff, just isn't establishment guy. He is willing to take them on to help the people. Because he is an honest liberal.

I would trust him to help Musk for example find corruption in the pentagon.

[FunkyMonkee]

He's a fat fucking idiot!!

[Fireguy17]

I ahve no clue who that is.

[KostasKouvalis]

He has a short fuse and supports beastiality

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I like him for the most part.

[Dongie]

I am not familiar with this dude.

[hotman5]

im centrist so neutral

[Friendlybro79]

What does centrist mean to you? No sarcasm just asking.

[BikerCD]

Much better than the hacks on Fox or CNN

[monorprise]

The only thing that separates Cenk Uyger from any other far left democrat is he actually believes in the leftist cause more than loyalty to the party leaders.

To that end I respect him as a genuine man much like people use to respect Bernie Sanders. But Bernie let the democratic party machine screw him out of the 2016 primary. He said nothing because Bernie is more about keeping stability than getting results.

Cenk wants results and he doesn't care where he gets it from.

[exitseven]

never heard of him

[KrakenAttackin]

No idea who he is.
