She always came off as a grifter to me and not authentic and not really "left-wing."

    I am shocked that an Armenian who would willingly be part of a show called the Young Turks has absolutely no principles whatsoever.

      Err, what does that have to do with anything? Many Armenians live in Turkey, marry Turks, have friends who are Turks, etc.

        Cenk also denied the Armenian Genocide happened until like 2019. Per her Wikipedia page, she has Armenian immigrant parents and only spoke Armenian until she was in kindergarten. She knows exactly who the Young Turks were and didn't care anyways, just spitting in the faces of her great-grandparents who were affected by the Armenian Genocide.

        The Jewish equivalent would be like if some person of Polish Jewish descent joined some band named Dirlewanger Brigade and the lead singer was a Holocaust denier.

    She's been vile forever. I don't even follow any of that TYT stuff, but enough of her tweets and clips over the years have made their way into my timelines thanks to libs I know.

    She's been screaming borderline genocidal stuff about homeless people, racist shit about crime, and general ablism forever. She got paid to do puff pieces at the Munich Security Conference by NATO, including interviewing Madeline "Half a million dead Iraqi children were worth it" Albright.

      Yeah, they hired her 'cause she called video games "sexist" but that's hardly note-worthy.

    She always came off as someone who was there for the money since the beginning
