You did the right thing leaving the corrupt news media cenk

@bugginbee 12 лет назад

I love that Cenk has such amazing integrity and didn't sell out to corporate media. Respect.

11:27 Speaking to the past Cenk. Thanks for staying true to your message! Love you all!

@PsychedelicGoo 10 лет назад

Jesus.... why have so many people got a problem with good honest people speaking their minds! (By good honest people, I mean people like Cenk)

@NeurodivergentAntifa 12 лет назад

Thanks for realizing that, at the end of the day, integrity matters more, especially when it comes to news, where morals are few and far between...

@BlackLabelSlushie 9 лет назад

cenk accidentally said who gave him "the talk." he said "the head of MSNBC." SO must be Phil Griffin.

@GrassrootsWorldview 11 лет назад

Wow. In the face of one of the most courageous and important acts of journalism you can find online... a very straight forward story of what we instinctively know to be true, you find hordes of immature hateful comments. Cenk you're clearly doing something very right ;) Keep it up.

@eliezerr.johnson9644 8 лет назад

Cenk Uygur, you're the most honest reporter I've ever known. And I don't want you to change that for nothing in the world. You're different. You express your own rational opinions on either party without caring about how they feel. That's what you call a real press.

@VR36030 8 лет назад

Ur joking right?

@NiftyChrono 10 лет назад

I don't get the comments and why a few people saying Cenk is full of himself, maybe because the video is about himself?

@NickMcDude 9 лет назад

Because a lot of people (mostly men/boys) gets threatened when they see someone aggressive, arrogant and confident. As they are all positive traits for a man (to a certain degree). But here's the question: Would Cenk be able to challenge authority if he was a scared little p*ssy? Just ignore the insecure haters, Cenk does his job well and a lot of people will feel threatened by his success.

@ItsADubstepPhenomena 9 лет назад

Jim Larsen its spelt Cenk mate, 50 Cenk, lol...but seriously, why would anyone wanna take your comment seriously with spelling like that...especially when someone spelt it correctly in the comment you replied to lol

@ItsADubstepPhenomena 9 лет назад

its turkish you fuck. also look up spelt...im not american so i can spell it like that, and im not british...why do you guys always assume someone is british if there not american, both countries are corrupt as fuck and would never want to live there...now visiting it would be a different story...Anyway to school you...it is called the young turks, and in turkey they pronounce the C as a J, so your reasoning makes no sense...if it was called the young englishman then yea sure you could get angry at it, but the fact that you cant pronounce his name right in his OWN language, "IRKS me". He could say oh your name should be spelt like Cim Larsen...Your ignorance bothers me. Outties

@NickMcDude 9 лет назад

Wow, do you really have that much against foreign names? In the US a lot of people have German, Scandinavian and Spanish names, they all have different letters and pronounciations from the english vocabulary, but I dont see you complaining about them... What exactly is it with Cenk (not Sink) that you dislike so much? Can you come with a specific thing he said/did?

@NiftyChrono 9 лет назад

Jim Larsen you're a dumbAss

@Francesamy 12 лет назад

So wonderful to find this video. My son recommended it, knowing my current concerns for freedom of the press and to be able to challenge the govt in a healthy way. Must subscribe.

You were fired and replaced with Al Sharpton.

@bbehgam 13 лет назад

My college roommate introduced me to the Young Turks and I've been listening to it ever since. He liked the show because it was factual, truthful, and spot on in terms of accuracy. His parents were hardcore republicans who watched fox religiously, which is why he tuned into a show that didn't distort the truth and had journalistic integrity. Thats why I'm still a fan, and my roommate is as well. Thanks for keeping it real Cenk and keep up the great work. Well continue tuning in

@chrismacdonald5860 8 лет назад

@harajukulover321 9 лет назад

its not like hes trying to get "somewhere", hes already perfectly fine at tyt

@ignorethiscommentordont34 9 лет назад

it's more of an expression. the point is he comes across as extremely petty. i cringed when he mentioned at all the money he would have made.

@Lomr14 9 лет назад

Hmm sure about 4 million subscribers overall in TYT network wont take anywhere, no to sure about that, he has a movie coming up, at the rate he is getting subscribers every day you might be surprised.. I support TYT of course I don't agree with everything but, TYT in terms of credibility and information are way better than anything you'll find on television

@DiverDan1000-3 11 лет назад

When MSNBC let Keith Olbermann go, I knew something was up. I used to watch Countdown all the time. And when Cenk joined forces, I thought MSNBC was going to dominate. However, MSNBC was founded in 1996 as partnerships of Microsoft and General Electric's NBC unit, which is now NBCUniversal. So the problem with railing against the Right, is that you are railing against management. Both Olbermann and Cenk were too strong a voice for the executives to waterdown so they had to get rid of them.

@MrBishop1954 10 лет назад

Man I hate that Cenk left I wont watch nor will I ever watched Al Sharpton who is in the time slot Cenk was in

@kangalcenk 12 лет назад

Hi my name is Cenk Sentürk! You all know the that the name Cenk comes from Cengaver and the meaning of Cengaver is Soldier/Fighter in turkish and Cenk is meaning War too. It is a special name and its a honor. Cenk is a fighter for all of us. (sry for my bad english)

@bodybalancer 8 лет назад

Love Cenk. But he could've taken the money, and waited it out, and had even more stories to tell us later. We need eyes on the inside, now they already know he is not to be trusted by 'the club' . Blew his great cover all I'm sayin. He managed to slip in through cracks bc he's such a damn attractive teammate. man speaks truth and the people like it that's why. love ya Cenk! Be sneakier next time. 😘

@bobafett9739 8 лет назад

@hadoukentatsumaki6758 8 лет назад

+Reathety irrelevant. He's in a much better place now. He can actually speak his mind rather than having to shush for the establishment.

@English3Muffin 12 лет назад

I love you Cenk, you are so awesome. I remember being so excited about you starting up on Msnbc but I definitely support your decision. You shouldn't have to tone down what you do. What you say NEEDS to be heard! Thank you for keeping your promise and staying with us. =D

@rasnac 13 лет назад

As a Turk, I'm very proud of you Cenk. I know many said "he sold out" when you moved to mainstream media but real selling out would be caving in to their rules and exceptng that large sum of money and You stand your groud, did not except MSNBC executives' warnings, did not except the money. And in the end you did not sell out. KOÇUM BENİM HELAL SANA!

@Bandolero8000 13 лет назад

One of the ONLY things that gives me hope about this country is that there is a Cenk Uygur giving it to the man. Cenk, you are my hero!

@NeurodivergentAntifa 12 лет назад

The reason why he mentioned his ratings was to show that he wasn't a bad reporter. They showed that he was a great reporter, and the only reason they shunted him from the 6 o'clock news was because he was too honest...

@growthandunderstanding 2 года назад

Bravo! Why does this video not have a billion views?

@OneJHWH 12 лет назад

@Cenk Uygur I am a libertarian & even though you lean left in your politics, I just love listening to you speak and your genuine desire to tell it like it is. Letting the public know why you left the media is also a big plus. That is what viewers value the most, Honesty. If you filter the news and deliver half truths, you loose credibility. Thank you very much for your sincerity as a reporter & as a person.

@Clearie552 12 лет назад

You're one of the only media people I've found that I respect. Well, a few people who write articles, but not video news.

@DominatingNA 11 лет назад

I can't think of many people who would have turned down the offer they gave you of twice the salary that you would have received for a job that would have required less work. Thanks, Cenk, for not selling out and sticking to your principles.

@danstone5994 9 лет назад

It must suck to be fired from MsNBC.

@Tiffacheez 12 лет назад

Way to go Cenk! Finally somebody who has an ounce of journalistic integrity.

@hondacivic1992 12 лет назад

As a Small-Government Libertarian, I find myself in conflict with Cenk's views more often than not. But I will agree with the fact that the media should exist to challenge the government. Also, by leaving MSNBC, he has proven himself to be genuine and not just in it for the money (unlike the talking heads on MSNBC, FOX, and CNN), and I applaud him for that.

@Easterly888 13 лет назад

I don't agree with everything Cenk says, but this makes me respect him so much more than before. I'll be watching more TYT in the future. This guy has integrity -- sorely lacking in today's media environment.

@jarvisifyable 8 лет назад

Cenk was axed for the same reason Piers was axed.

@plankton8978 10 лет назад

I had a top mgr pull me aside at NJDEP with a "friendly" warning me about my "tone" (I'd been pushing NJ government officials at NJDEP and the NJAG to enforce the law against NJ polluters, so they came down on me). It was late after work on Friday, at night, the head of NJDEP enforcement, Gerry Burke, invited me to talk with him in his limo (?), in true NJ mafia style (the recent bridge closing by NY Gov. henchman is another example of how corrupted NJ government officials operate). Moral: 1. dont work for NJ unless you like corruption, and 2. when your "friendly" boss pulls you aside and suggests that you 'take it easy' or 'get along' or 'tone it down' its past time to bail.

@donleopardo77 13 лет назад

Hats off to you Cenk, congratulations on standing up for what you believe in irregardless of the consequences. We need more people in the media like you, with a high sense of integrity.

@motstraumen 13 лет назад

Way to go Cenk. I was wondering what happened. Thank you for your integrity. Until our side speaks bravely and with truthfulness from our principles, we will continue to falter on changing our country. You made the right decision! instead of leaning forward, um lets walk forward, lets push forward!

@dudekillr 12 лет назад

You made the right choice Cenk! Me and thousands of viewers are right behind you! I can honestly say you are one of the few people i admire in this world just because of your virtues and way of being. Hopefully this and your persistance translates in to your life and your work and your continued persistance will bring you many fruits in the future! Faithful TYT watcher! Peace

@septogram7 13 лет назад

@jrcadet4 13 лет назад

Cenk Uygur has always come across as honest, unvarnished, and a sharp observer. He's not someone to be hamstrung---and MSNBC cost themselves a potent talent by trying to do so. Current TV is missing a bet if they don't take him on!

@Nayr747 13 лет назад

Cenk, I have to say I was wrong. I commented when you went to MSNBC you would sell out. You definitely proved me wrong. Keep up the good work!

@moonturkey 12 лет назад

I like this guy. Standing by his principles and being pretty humble and aware of different perspectives. It's a shame he left but I'm glad his voice is still free.

@valleystina 12 лет назад

I never watch MSNBC and I have never heard of you before and from what I've heard you speak, I don't agree with everything you say, but I applaud you for your stand and you decision. If it is any consolation, I no longer look to just fox for my news either.

@ChuckBerrington 12 лет назад

Media has an editorial line; its their right as a company. "Ratings" doesn't really matter when your guests are being insulted and affecting other shows on said channel. The problem is his claim of integrity when he didn't confront management on the position of the show. Instead he kept his mouth shut and took the money for months. MSNBC still wanted him to contribute, which they didn't have to, and he tells them off because they wont give him the power he wanted. Fight or flight. He flew.

@hstg98 13 лет назад

You win, they lose. We subscribe to your show b/c you're not afraid of challenging power, and because you can't be bought off. THANK YOU, CENK!!!

Some Armenians from Istanbul were arrested and murdered. However, the bulk of the crimes were committed away from Istanbul in provincial areas where fewer questions would be asked, at least until it was too late.
