Cenk on Democracy Now! MSNBC 'Act Like An Insider'

[goozbaghali]

DEMOCRACY NOW! + TYT = WIN

[willsbanana]

What a narcissistic hack Cenk is...

He got fired for being a douche and unprofessional, plain and simple..

[willsbanana]

@willsbanana Also he is incredibly ugly. Every msnbc interview he had he yelled over the top of everyone, also he screwed up words. you people are morons.

[thefastshuffle]

@willsbanana you mean they offered him more money and he said 'no thank you'

[willsbanana]

@thefastshuffle You actually believe that?

[totyny1]

There might be stuff that you disagree with him but he's an extremely reasonable guy...and has a great heart. He speaks truth!!

[Jaywed]

I just noticed Cenk has a battle scar on his forehead.

[mrspazshot]

Cenk For president :D

[saudiUTUBE]

Yes!! My two best radio shows smashed together!

[spodomaticfreeze]

@NikEgUy101 he's talked about it before, nothing new

[mrspazshot]

@NikEgUy101 O.o he been saying that forever alil late to notice

[KeepingModern]

» PLEASE TURN UP VOLUME ON THIS VIDEO

[KeepingModern]

I completely support TYT but I am afraid we are a dying breed, look at the view counts for these videos. We don't even account for like a percent of the population. I am thinking about taking a drug coma vacation for the rest of my life, at least that drugged up world will make more sense than my current world.

[dAda313]

@KeepingModern just smoke some good ol weed - that will do it too :)

[Szekler11]

@KeepingModern yeah....most of the population have personal lives. Cenk is waay to emotional to be taken serriously

[TOTCD]

@KeepingModern Friend it's up to you to spread TYT to your friends and neighbors.

I got to know TYT by accident. It was in Jan 2010!

But now my brothers and friends know it.

Two years ago TYT was just at 100 million views.

Now they have 5 times that amount of views.

If TYT gets 1 million subscribers they will be impossible to ignore.

That is Cenk's objective

[bermudaguy1]

I understood MSNBC not wanting Cenk....I thought he was out of place...but I liked him. Cenk seems more like a street fighter, and that's not the image they want on their show. Pity really.

[brotmann86]

repubs should unite and have one utube channal together, or just close all but one, they all just say the exact same crap again and again, no difference

[MetrazolElectricity]

If I were Cenk, I'd follow the rules, make my millions and go to bed. What an idiot this turk was dude , he could have been big and he blew it

[NaziGOPBallmer]

@MetrazolElectricity

Well it's a good thing you're not in politics, hopefully.

[MetrazolElectricity]

@NaziGOPBallmer I was at capitol hill today, am a senator's intern hoping to become one one day. I met Eric Cantor today.Anyway Cenk's too pedestrian and cheap ... not meant for fancy corporations. He should stick to his low-life proletariat existence.

[NaziGOPBallmer]

@MetrazolElectricity

Well then, expect to be under the guillotine along with the GOP when Hell breaks loose because you allowed a Plutocracy to gain a foothold in America's soil and overthrow what's left of democracy. Cenk isn't meant for fancy corporation because HE'S FIGHTING THE CORPORATIONS!!

[MetrazolElectricity]

@NaziGOPBallmer You say corporations as if its a bad thing, shit-kicker. Whereas infact America was built bit by bit by the toils of corporations. Infact, the health of US corporations and the country are intimately linked to eachother, cling to eachother for survival. Big corporations are nurseries for innovation and prosperity. Untalented cowards like you don't have the courage to achieve the American dream,so you criticize the system. GOP's will reigns supreme, commie boy. This is 'MERICAAA

[NaziGOPBallmer]

@MetrazolElectricity

No fuckstick, the MIDDLE-CLASS built the country. Some of the big corporations started out as small businesses and entrepreneurs, but corporate robots such as yourself can't grasp that concept. Untalented ignorant and certainly uneducated dumbshit like you don't even know what true American dreams are so you're not in a position to talk about that. The GOP is becoming a totalitarian regime, Nazi boy. America belongs to the people NOT RIGHT-WING CORPORATIONS!

[MetrazolElectricity]

@NaziGOPBallmer Jefferson, Hamilton ,Washington ...these weren't middle-class, they were estate-owning aristocrats. The founders were a clique of select few white male elites, and they owned USA. The middle-class came about as a result of their enterprise. The concept of middle-class wasn't even relevant until the industrial revolution when suddenly ppl without royal titles had leisure time away from the factory.Your history is as confused as your slurs against me, shit-kicker.

[NaziGOPBallmer]

@MetrazolElectricity

They were aristocrats yes, but NOT corporate entities. The well-know corporate entity at that time was the British East Indian Trading Company. Don't try to compare corporations today with the founding fathers cause they're NOTHING like them at all, nor will they ever be. You're just as bad as those right-wing conservative hack jobs who try to claim that Jesus Christ and the founding fathers were Conservatives themselves.

[MetrazolElectricity]

@NaziGOPBallmer The aristocrats of then were modern day equivalents of CEOs. Both entities had lotsa political pull and personal wealth. Corporations as we know today did not exist back then, the East India Company was a tool of the British Crown, it did not have the autonomous might and independence of modernday american companies, you silly shitkicker. The founders were fairly conservative, they were right-wing and owned lotsa slaves. None was a bleeding socialist and almost all were devout X

[NaziGOPBallmer]

@MetrazolElectricity

Whether the British crown owned the EIC or Corporate America owns the government, they shared the same desire to create a plutocracy where the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. This is exactly what the founders were avoiding! If they had been Conservatives America wouldn't have existed. The idea of founding a secular nation that gives freedom to any class and allows everyone to practice any religion is a LIBERAL IDEA you dumb fuckstick!

[nateb212]

yea, cenk is the man. all these presidents get all this recognition and they are overrated dickholes. in my eyes cenk is better than any president we have had in my lifetime.

[audadvnc]

Phil Donahue got screwed by MSNBC, and Cenk would have been had he not also run a tremendously successful show on YouTube. As for Ventura, you may not like his politics, but as governor of Minnesota he was a level headed, responsible executive, unlike his successor Tim Pawlenty, who turned into a rubber stamp for the Right Wing - and left Minnesota with a state debt of billions of dollars.

[TheMidwestAtheist]

Cenk, Jesse Ventura is a crackpot conspiracy theorist (sort of like Glenn Beck). MSNBC is better without that kind of crap.

[KONTRAORDEN]

@TheMidwestAtheist Geln Beck is nothing like Cenk Glen beck has no soul and always cry's in order to get petty

[MassLiberal1]

@TheMidwestAtheist Ventura is defintely crazy, no question. The Glenn Beck comparison isn't far off. But if he was fired for being anti-Iraq War then MSNBC was in the wrong, even if they're ultimately better off w/o him.

[wuezili]

@Stevie68000 You - Asshole

[nakedcellist1]

THEY got rid of CENK UYGUR and  AL SHARPTON which was their mission all along thumbs up if you agree ???

[freewngs]

Replacing Cenk with Sharpton is just terrible. I don't think any Democrats really give a shit about what he has to say.

[Xenite227]

@freewngs That's what I was saying even before the news broke, plus have you seen Sharpton on MSNBC? He's just a terrible host, he has no feel for doing a show like that. It's actually painful to watch, ughh!

[SinisterSkip]

Nice video, but this is not a 1080p video so why upload it as one? It's at most a 360 or 480p video, scaled up. I don't get why ppl do this...

Cenk for president.

[Deedovich]

2 questions I'm dying to know: 1, did Cenk burn bridges now that he has exposed the relationship he had with MSNBC? 2. Does he give a shit?

[Lpoolboy]

@Deedovich Why would he give a shit? He can't get back on MSNBC for obvious reason and the only other stations are CNN (fat chance) and Fox (LOL). Where's the shit to give?

[BLUEC0RE]

Jesse Ventura? Hes also a conspiracy nut. Maybe thats why...

[437thx1138]

Can his stones be cloned and transplanted into Dem politicians? Male or female?

[ndewhurst12]

I completely missed outon all this

[b0urn3slim]

@frictionRx10 so you know more?

[lenesu86]

Cenk Uygur, THE YOUNG FUCKING TURK!!!

[fonkymaster]

Can a non-natural citizen run for, say, Senate or House?

[alphacause]

We don't have a truly progressive MAINSTREAM media outlet to combat Fox News, which is ostensibly an instrument for right wing politics. While MSNBC plays the role of progressivism, it will only express progressive views to the extent that what it says doesn't hurt its corporate and political backers. MSNBC must be more than a shield for Democrats; it must call Democrats to account for not behaving as progressives should. Thankfully we have The Young Turks to keep things real.

[CubanExile]

PLEASE just go away ! ! !

[FixedNewsChannel]

@CubanExile - GTFO

[RottenRroses]

They let Cenk tell his side of the story on MSNBC? I'm surprised.

[DashCat9]

@RottenRroses This isn't MSNBC.

[RottenRroses]

@DashCat9 Ok. But he also was on Keith Olbermann's segment.

[AmishRakeFight85]

@RottenRroses Keith Olbermann is no longer at MSNBC.

[marharth]

He was born in turkey, quit saying he can run for president for fucks sake.

[554466551]

@marharth I never understood why there is that prejudice towards country of birth.

[marharth]

@554466551 That has nothing to do with it. You have to be born in the USA to run for president.

[554466551]

@marharth To rephrase what I was saying before - Why should that matter?

[TheNavigateur]

The problem with calling Obama a republican is that he actually would feel proud of it. Like "See, I got nothing of what I wanted. I'm so reasonable".

He's actually a Republican appeaser, which is a big difference. Nothing wrong with appeasing if it's the RIGHT thing, just not the WRONG thing as Obama is doing. Therein lies the problem. Obama simply doesn't know how to move the ball toward justice. But his idea of justice is fine, and he has expressed it on many occasions.

[misticspear]

@TheNavigateur you hit the nail on the head

[TOTCD]

Obama isn't a republican.

Even if he were a conservative.

Wouldn't he just be a conservative democrat?

Anyway Cenk keep up the good work.

I only agree with you 60% of the time.

But in a democracy we need progressives and conservatives.

You're clearly becoming one of the strongest and most famous faces of progressive America

[GenTsoChicken1]

Cenk is like the Lil Wayne of News. He's making a cameo everywhere.

[TrueMarkofdaking]

3:22

...She was lLITERALLY put in a closet?Is that legal 0.o surely there are laws against locking people in closets.

[dramatish]

@TrueMarkofdaking its not a joke..its a fact. they put here office literally in a room they use to use as a closet.

[glennd7962]

Wow, so Cenk jumps to an erroneous conclusion and gets away with it. He has direct accounts of 3 different folks at MSNBC and Donahue CNN on air stating that management interfered in content they didn't like politically, but none from Fox. Repeat, none from Fox. In fact former and current talent at Fox have all explicitly stated that they get no pressure from mgmt on political content. None. But he then says it happens everywhere. Where's the evidence that it is happening everywhere?

[lilnev2000]

@glennd7962 , just listen to YouTuber LiberalViewer. He shows NUMEROUS cases on how Fox interfered in content they didn't like politically. Take 3 hours, listen to the numerous cases, then come back with your take

[glennd7962]

@lilnev2000 Oh, so you are one of those kind of liars, lol.My point wasn't that Fox isn't biased, of course it is. My point is that no host has ever come forward and claimed they were fired or threatened based on the political tone of their coverage. And, of course, the channel you sent me to didn't contain any such evidence. So typical of a pseudo-smart leftist; dissemble, deflect, lie and smear. It is all you have left, lol. Fyi, I'm no fox fan, as an actual libertarian. I'm just into truth.

[lilnev2000]

@glennd7962 You are into truth by name calling when you disagree with someone? Ok dude, won't get into an discussion with you because obviously a debate with you only ends with name calling.

[restlesspride666]

@glennd7962 Why does it always feel that people like you are always the same person..?

[dagorian86]

@glennd7962 ermm just type in TYT and fox news or fox news memos and you will have hours of proof. but alas, given your attitude and obvious love of fox none of it will sink in. How about the fact that they donate to republican governor candidates, that they take republican talking point memos and literally hand them to their hosts and tell them to repeat them... the list is endless but i fear I am wasting my time. good luck being ignorant buddy

[glennd7962]

@dagorian86 Just keep lying, it makes you feel good, doesn't it? Here's a fact that is undeniable - let's see if you can get your deformed brain around it. I know of thee former hosts who have claimed themselves that they were pressured on coverage. Donahue, Ugyur and the woman he mentions was put in a closet. Also Stossel has claimed ABC made decisions on coverage based on politics, and has said so publicly. What Fox hosts have claimed they were pressured with firing or punishment?

[orchoose]

TYT Pls put here more cenks interwievs, he was giving many afer he left msnbs... Countdown ect.... ty.

[blackacadian]

Finally, Cenk seems to have figured it out. Oblama is a republican. For those who still doubt that simple fact, just wiki "black propaganda".

[Ddickeydew3]

Cenk tells what it is...and Phil Griffen somehow thinks the people don't knows what he"s doing, Phil is a brown noser to the coperate media, and somehow he thinks we the viewers don't see whats going on at MSNBC...Donahue, Keith Obermann,now Cenk Uygur...whose next...your ratings?

[Fukkutah]

The Monopoly on media outlets produces a culture that doesn't have the public's interest at heart. It becomes a tool to: sell corrupt policies, agendas and politicians to the public; to use the politicians with held favors to expand geographically and financially and grab more power and influence. Murdoch is but tip of that huge iceberg spreading from Fox on the right to MSNBC on the left and every corporate media in between.

[PERIZ99]

Cenk's one of the sharpest guys around..

[brandnutopian]

@osamasho1 Yes, and so many Americans conflate the two.

[brandnutopian]

Don't fuck with The Cenk. 

[dwalden74]

Cenk's the man! Way to stick to your guns!

[Invaishir]

oh my, i love and miss banfield

[xRoyaldx]

Cenk 2012!!!



[n8tivguitar]

i cant believe the ruff talked him and run him off.

[BUCEnGAR]

Cenk is my personal hero.

Seriously, I mean who turns down more money to do something that would probably require less work? I'll tell you who, someone who believes that what they're doing is more important than money.

Cenk, don't ever quit.

[Aiden057]

You're the best Cenk. I'm proud of you.

[criskity]

Cenk has INTEGRITY. Big thumbs up!

[willsbanana]

@criskity Integrity? He got kicked off of msnbc and he's too proud and narcissistic to admit that it may have just been that he wasn't good enough.

[dmcarefuldriver]

That's funny when she says "5 seconds left." What can one say in 5 seconds? lol

[spaniardmale77]

Cenk...RESPECT. 

[bgcorporation]

Proud of Cenk. That was awesome.

[jeffxl12]

you go Cenk, go talk crap about them. Stay here if you leave go with Keith

[ONLY1JLO]

I believe him!

[ravebritt]

rushing guests? what is this fuck-up news?

[PRIVATEAYEIEYE]

Don't move your arms so much?

Has anyone seen politicians and TV personalities lately?

They've all been coached to wave their arms around like the remains of an outhouse in a tornado. In fact, the stylized tics and repeated gestures become distracting in themselves once you start to recognize them.

I saw some Corporate Edgy guy windmilling like a speedfreak sparring with Ninja flying monkeys.

Don't get me started about the exaggerated Southern and Ozzie accents.

Ah Tale Yew WUT!

The BIST knife!

[TheHowToBE]

Cenk for president!

[dxd7122]

I think a lot of host would have accepted that cookie cuter roll and traded their integrity for a leash around the neck, do as we tell you, high paid corporate contract.

MSNBC was smart to use Cenk to increase their ratings and try to shape him into a corporate media machine, but I am happy to see that Cenk is wiser and did not accept a contract that would have betrayed everything that TYT stands for.

[RetiredBard]

I want to know what Richard Eskow was turning over in his mind that last night he was guest-hosting TYT and said "Cenk, we need to talk" right after he referenced his article on a new revolution (from corporate interests). I need to know there's hope for this country, because right now things look pretty bleak.

[myeyesarebored]

Sad to see Cenk loose the exposure, but MSNBC has always been week sauce. I'd rather watch Fox News where at least they don't pull their punches.

and

TYT + Democracy Now = awesome!

[RustyCyler]

Never sell out. I'm fuckin' proud of you Cenk.

[alwayzAngry]

why isnt cenk being invited to letterman, or leno, or conan... why must they have fukkin loser celebrities that are just there to plug shit!!! they spread no message worth hearing.

[mikel1982]

oh shizzz Amy and Cenk unite! Love it.

[Stingerbillion]

he's everywhere! Nice.....fuck you MSNBC.

[kurtilein3]

AAAWESOME!!!

its just so great that you upload this on your channel. I am watching both, TYT and DemocracyNow! . I think democracynow is serious, and TYT is mostly fun but also raises very serious issues. You have the same goals, but its different formats so you dont compete.

Now you are exchanging viewers, democracynow points out you, you point out democracynow. TOTAL WIN-WIN SITUATION. do this again if possible. connect the progressives :)

[masterworler]

Cenk is the best reporter this country never have+ great team ...

[allgoo19]

It looks clearer and clearer to me.

Profit motive journalism won't work!!!

I'm glad Cenk didn't give into that.

[Umishiru]

Cenk and Bill Maher should merge so we can have the ultimate man on our side, that is it, I am gonna create a fusion machine.

[idontfkinknow1234]

@Umishiru Bill Maher is a fucking retard..

[fleammm]

@idontfkinknow1234 yea man, when he gets questioned about a lot of things his logic is so idiotic it is mind boggling

[Umishiru]

@idontfkinknow1234 so saids someone with a ironic name.

[antoniow85]

Cenk is brilliant! Although he can't run for president, I do wish he could consider helping us usher in a new party, one that would refuse to bow to corporations.

[Stingerbillion]

Nice to know this country still have very few people who care and are trying to make sure the system works for everyone, not for top 1%.

[AudioForAnarchists]

yeah, democracy now rocks!

[jrjdm86]

STOP CUTTING PEOPLE OFF VERY NEWS CHANNEL DOES THAT WHY?

[PiratedComedy]

@jrjdm86 They run multiple segments, advertisements, etc.

[PISTOLcm]

Cenk acted like a senator. Yeah, he acted like Anthony Wiener, minus the wiener.

[IHateStaleCrackers]

MSNBC's got no real balls.

[BOBSMOKETV]

LOL Cenk blowing the whistle. haha Flag on the play!

[mojorhythm]

I think that Cenk should do some guest anchoring with Amy when Juan is not there. That would be an epic WIN!

[Asymmatrix]

Interesting that MSNBC blatantly lied about it being a 'better' position.

[erdal0]

NOBODY CAN BEAT TYT...... WE WILL ROCK YO WORLD MOTTAFUKAH

[bozeman14]

maddow and schultz never criticize the administration. they may talk about progressive issues, but they never lay the blame of this failure of the white house steps. shame on them.

[MultiUniv3rsal]

Lol, Juan Gonzales looks like Bob Barr.

[kzolly]

Good for you Cenk! We need open media sources able to put forth all view points, not just one parties. Until Cenk said it, I never really thought about the ramifications of corporations owning media outlets. Of course NBS Nightly News won't broadcast stories about how GE paid no taxes - GE owns them...and our congress, our president....

[MultiUniv3rsal]

What we need is the Spitzer/Uygur hour.

[GooGobbler113]

You heard it here bitches!! He's THE Young Turk!!! Cenk 2012.

[biggydx]

Cenk should just save up for his own channel. Or join a channel thats closely aligned with his beliefs. Current might be an ok place, but I think RT or Democracy Now are better choices.

That being said, nothing beats the TYT channel! :D

[therealcharismatron]

Cenk is doin' the rounds and getting the TYT word out. Nice!

[jasonsgroovemachine]

Ya know, now that I think of it... Cenk did act like a Senator. He acted like the kind of Senator we NEED, not the kind we have.

[MultiUniv3rsal]

@jasonsgroovemachine Amen to that.

[ndewhurst12]

@jasonsgroovemachine I can't wait for the Dark Knight Rises

[RumbleHD]

Cenk you look beat up man.

[azamatbagatov]

First bitches.
