Cenk is a union buster who screams at workers over the mildest inconvenience. He's a piece of shit with a progressive veneer to people who aren't paying attention.
No idea where his co-hosts are on the political scale though.
ana kasparian has been getting more radicalized. she was doing a show with michael brooks up until he passed on jacobin's youtube. with her new co-host I feel like she's amped up her anti-corporate rhetoric and has adopted some marxists terminology.
but yes cenk is trash. this might not mean much to y'all, but his pro-war stance on the nagorno-karabagh war made him irredeemable to me. theres no such thing as a comrade who supports aggression in ethnic conflicts which might lead to cleansings...its the most basic litmus test for me.
I'll give hasan piker credit for having a good take on that war.
turks. like 95% of them. being a speaker of the language, seeing how excited they are to go to war, it's hard to remain optimistic. I might unironically be a stalinist.
John Ladarola is obviously a lib but he isn't so bad either as part of the beginning of the pipeline. It's really Cenk that's bringing everyone else down.
His "streaming" didn't take off for a while. He basically left a "sure-job" to try it and his streams were like sub-2K at the time. It's only after the Twitch ban (IIRC) that he started to pick up steam on Twitch.
I don't knock his work ethic (10+ hour streams a day) but I highly doubt "making Twitch money" was at the top of his list for leaving his Uncle's network.
I started my journey with TYT back in 2016 when Bernie first ran, but haven't watched in like 3 years since I moved on to better online news shows, but man, I honestly don't remember it being this bad.
I occasionally see a clip or a Cenk tweet and I'm amazed that I used to think that I was a "radical" for watching TYT and thinking CNN sucked lol. Now I find it laughable that anybody would consider TYT "radical."
I mean, sure, better them than CNN and MSNBC, but still, it's very mild "leftism" (big fucking quotes).
Ana seemed cool when she'd go on Michael Brooks' show at least.
When you shepherd political deviants back into the herd, usually by pretending to be radical then pivoting. For example, Bernie was a sheepdog for the Democrats
I used to think that TYT was a good gateway for libs to become leftist, but I'm starting to doubt its even capable of the most mild push left.

Who the fuck isn't solidly on the side of Armenia in that war?

Is she even still with TYT? I feel, with her rhetoric on the Jacobin, she would have been axed.

he said the US military was socialism lmao
What a clown
There's a reason Hasan dropped from his network.
To pursue a way more lucrative streaming career?

2k is still a pretty massive twitch stream all things considered
No i remember it, he went part-time at 2-3K subs, he fully left some time after Crenshaw incident(when he had 7-8K subs)
Hasan is the left wing version of Jesse Lee Peterson. Both incredibly stupid but can be kinda funny at times.
Hasan is hot af tho

Cenk is also massively cringe.
