  • I watch the evening news on ABC every night and I'm under 40. I am, however, the only person I know who watches the evening news. Unfortunately, everyone else I know either watches Fox News or MSNBC. I do like some of the people on MSNBC, but they focus too much on politics and not enough on other stories of interest. Fox is just GOP TV. I tell some of my friends who watch Fox a fact, such as Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and they think I'm insane.But evening news constantly outperforms cable.

  • Yeah, ain't it the truth.. why can't this UGLY and plastic old bag just go away. As little as I've seen her, she turns my stomach with those poses.

  • NBC NEWS FTW !

  • The last time I watched "the evening news" was when I had just moved to a new apartment and had no cable or internet connection. Worst 2 weeks of my life.

  • haha i LOVE when Cenk does impressions of his dad.

  • Like so true and yeah who cares . Oh well ..Right lol :o)

  • who cares about that bitch!

  • seriously, she is a self-centered bitch

  • i agree, today the network evening news is nothing more than the top "glamour" (sic) stories of the day. news specials promote blood & guts stories only!

    networks haven't the time or desire to delve into hard news stories, so america isn't well served by them!

    fake, meaningless "reality" shows make money, so helping americans become well inhformed, contributing citizens is not a priority for the networks. making higher profits for their rich stock holders is!

    profit trumps freedom.

  • Very good point. and unfortunately.. yeah, it might...

  • I'm 68. Use internet for news (including following favored newspapers on Twitter). No TV. Even for local. Get local on internet.

    Question: Is the movement of women into prominence in a work area signal its decline in importance? Not because of the women, but because the employers put women in when the decline is already in progress.

  • I'm 59, but I agree. Only TV news I watch is for local stuff. Most everything else comes from the web. Exceptions are MSNBC and Countdown, specifically.

    On the web, of course, its TYT!

  • It's been more than 2 years I don't watch the news in t.v. Except when I'm rushing out the door and I overhear them...I get most of my news in the internet...

  • we need peter jennings!!

  • a little jealous Cenk? lol, but seriously i'm all about the internet now,!!

  • sarah palin beat the shit out of charlie gibson's questions; they were no match for the air in her head!

  • ass cock Charlie Gibson is the most famous interviewer in the world.

  • First of all, who the fuck is charlie gibson?

  • The comercials run smooth as hell, but the video is choppy as fuck.

  • uhhhhh...who cares? maybe he's looking at the other people in the studio. do you really think it's that strange?

  • I get my news off the Internet and listen to CBC The World At Six podcast (I'm American BTW). I have no need for the evening news when I can read, watch, and download it from The Internet. The last time I watched was when Brokaw was leaving NBC news.

  • Booo!.well i dont care,i always watch the NBC news with brian williams,much better presentation

  • HAHHAHAHA, I thought the same thing when I saw this story on CNN

  • I'm 16, live in canada with american/canadian citizenship, and I watch ABC news every night at 6. I liked Charles Gibson, he's good, I don't welcome the chage.

  • Fire Barney Frank , Palosi, obama, biden, and All the othe Idiots who want Socialized Medicine

  • What does this have to do with an anchorwoman taking over abc news? Anything to give your opinion huh?

  • Pelosi.

    If you want them out, you should probably learn to spell their names first.

  • Who watches the news on TV at all? The internet replaced that(and newspapers, for that matter) years ago.

  • main stream media is utter garbage. there's a reason why bill orielly and glenn beck have the first and second highest ratings in news respectively.

  • I don't care much for the evening news except for Brian Williams

  • Yeah same, I like Brian Williams.

  • lol Cenk is so hilarious

  • Diane is very hot for her age.

  • I'm a college student and i still watch the evening news during the summer, but during the school year I just go online

  • I stopped watching TV for more than 2 years now.

  • i dont give a damn

  • If who cares, then why are you reporting on it for ??

  • There was a iime when people did care. Because television was their only source for news. And the anchor did have some say in how the news was presented. Like Walter Cronkite. If WC said it, then it must be true. He was so trusted by the public that CBS didn't allow him to give commentary. The most he could say was "And that's the way it is"

  • i always lol at how cenk says "ho kay" lmao

  • It doesn't matter who sits in the chair, their corporate paymasters tell them what to report and how to report it.

    Bring back real journalism that holds people and institutions accountable and I'll be interested.

  • You're not going to get that in america.

  • ugh

  • Diane Sawyer might be old enough to collect social security....but I would do her.

  • Fox 'News' is the worst news channel ever but Sky news in England comes pretty close to sucking just as bad. Nobody cares about Diane Sawyer.

  • You know that Sky news is OWNED by Fox news, right?

    I mean they are owned by the same company.

  • Yes, I do know that. Our Sky News tries to be like Fox News in your country, unfortunately for Sky News here, we have laws that reign them in lol

  • Laws like what?

    What do they say, or are preventing Sky from doing?

  • Thats interesting, i'd like to know some more about that if you can, thanks.

    On the one hand i wish there were some agency to reign in fox news but on the other hand it sounds like something that could be abused.  Who decides what is propaganda, you know.

  • I"m sort of surprised by this given the poor rating that Couric is getting at CBS. Of course, the ABC folks know more about this kind of stuff, you'd think.

    I tend to watch the local news and MSNBC. I'll watch it sometimes on the weekend if I've been out and haven't been online.

  • I want to see a butt ugly Mike Wallace/Ed Murrow type do the evening news. Forget the evening news anyway. If you want to witness absolute meaningless fluff watch the morning shows.

  • The News is the News? Really? So Fox News is the same as CNN or TYT?

  • Fox News is not a news program at all. And everyone should have already established that. When ppl say that "The News is the News", everyone should assume that the person was purposefully disregarding Fox News. If it weren't for Fox News then the news really would be the news... ya dig?

  • Better yet, who still watches news on TV?

  • i do but i wouldnt if i would be in america .

  • Did you read the case about the woman on the internet who had her identity revealed by Google for defamation against a fashion model by blogging? They're passing a law soon against retarded and hateful comments, so keep posting so I can see how tough you are when I know what you look like.

  • Why do you watch The Young Turks if you think so ill of his liberal opinions? If you think his opinions are scum??

  • Obviously you do ya fucking idiot troll bitch.You keep TYT viewscoming. You honestly think anyone there cares about your opinion? Then you attack on here under 20 different accounts but noone still listens. You're undeniably the biggest loser anywhere.

  • if he did care, why report on it?

  • Charles Gibson JUST got the job... why is he leaving

  • I think "trust" is just another word for objectivity in this context; but you're right, Cenk, evening news on TV is a sinking ship nonetheless.

  • "You're rearranging the chairs on the Titanic." Great metaphor.

  • why can't we talk about this civilly? why the need for personal attacks?

  • "The news is the news"..Not with the slant you asswipes at yung turds and the national networks put on it.. YOU'RE ALL SUCKIN THE LIBERAL OBUMER DICK ON A DAILY BASIS .

  • "bahhh, bahhh, sheep, sheep"

    I'm guessing you did not see the TYT clip where Cenk just put down Obama for about 8 minutes?

    See, we "liberals" have this ability called "critical thinking" not all of us just parrot the same lame arguments and insults and do not blindly follow our ideological political leaders no matter what.

  • Yea, All you liberal idiots are finding out just what a lame empty suit this obumer moron is NOW..thing is...NOW.. it's too fucking late.. The worthless bastards gonna break this country..IF NOT GET US ALL KILLED .

  • Why did I even try to explain it to you? You still a grade A, gomer pyle, knuckle dragging, moron.

    For the record I would still take President Obama to President George W. Bush in a heart beat.

  • Typing in caps is no substitute for an argument you blithering imbecile. People have become disillusioned with Obama because he won't legislate the public option, thanks to clueless republican fucktards shouting 'death panels' and 'communism'. They actually have a legitimate grievance with Obama and not some fabricated nonsense propagated by Jones, Limbaugh, Beck etc.

  • Uhhh.. I think you saw the public opinion at the tea parties and town meetings last month..UNLESS YOU WERE ON YOUR KNEES STARING AT OBUMER'S BARE BELLY BUTTON AS YOU OBVIOUSLY WERE AND STILL ARE...

  • Whats your obsession with this? It's quite freudian. I think all this CAP RAGE is just your way of compensating your real feelings of Obama. <3

  • "Obumer", huh? I guess the democrats didn't feel the need to be that clever with a president named "Bush".

  • obumer isn't qualified to clean George Bushes toilet.. you liberal idiots are finding that out now.

  • you fail

  • fail troll if fail

  • Actually, I love the evening news; I'm an 18-year-old Communications major. It's hard for me to keep in touch with whats going on in the world now that I'm away at college and don't have a TV. Charlie Gibson was my favorite anchor, but Diane Sawyer isn't far behind.

    And BTW, jeffwoehrle, can we stop with the political name games? We are all free people with our unique perpectives and should not have to fear being labled as solely one thing or another.

  • actually alot of anchors now are more women...at least around my area

  • what';s with these ads

  • When it comes to news, the only thing TV is still good for is when something is happening live, and they are filming it. They still do that better than any other media.

    Of course, if you want to know what's really going on, you should also check out the internet. But for live footage, I watch TV. That's the only time I turn to the news channels or shows.

  • I almost forgot about this whole trend.

  • Wow, the anchors have vaginas!!! Who the hell cares.

  • I don't watch it, but it's the network evening news is still supposed to be the most credible news source in America - more than the papers, more than the cable news, definitely more than the internet. It may not have a perfect track record, but it's got the gravitas.

    Now, is Diane Sawyer taking over for Charlie Gibson important? Not really, because she's really got the same credibility as Charlie, and she's more respected than Katie Couric. Her only problem is that she's done GMA for so long.

  • You can trust them when they are doing the weather and anecdotes, but the actual network news sounds like pure propaganda to me. Maybe we need a news surge?! KahYah! That'll do the trick!

  • Dude...that noise he makes at 1:11 is the weirdest thing I've ever heard.

  • Another liberal talking head presiding over the further demise of network news.

    Yawn. Call me when it's over.

  • @jeffwoehrle

    You do realize that Diane Sawyer worked for Richard Nixon. Not exactly a liberal.

  • Guess you've not seen much of her work lately. She went to the dark side, which is kind of the opposite of what most folks do when they get older and wiser.

  • teh internets are god

  • lolololololololololololololol

  • We still have evening news?

  • I thought it was funny when O'rielly said newspapers were going out of business because it's a liberal media. Uhmm no, they are going out of business because of the internet.

    It's the same with tv news, people get the news from homepages and onlines news sites. I get the top stories every morning and watch Olberman at night, about it for me.

  • im just glad charles gibson is leaving the post he made abc give him after stealing it from elizabeth vargas because she got pregnant.

  • who cares

  • all these news stations nobody watch that anymore

    Brian Williams on NBC is pretty cool though

  • Love how blatantly honest Cenk always is

  • My grandparents still watch it and I do occasionally too. Charlie was one of my preferred newscasters after Peter Jennings died. I think Diane is great on GMA, so she is a good replacement even tough I probably won't watch.

  • In a sexist society - you could interpret more female anchors implies that the concept of anchor is being devalued - that society does not value it.

  • I expect I'll be watching Diane Sawyer just as often as I watched Charlie Gibson.

  • I would trust what a woman says (a very risky thing to do) over anything that TYT tells me

  • I haven't sat down and watched the nightly news for many years. They lost me completely during G.W. Bush's two terms.

    If nothing else, they try hard not to offend people who will pull their advertisement funding... even if it means skewing news and going easy on people in interviews.

    "So and so said they will pull advertisement money if you talk about the corruption story again."

    Sadly, I often find foreign news sources to be more reliable when keeping up with U.S. foreign issues.

  • Are the ratings for the national nightly news that bad? And even if they are, a lot of other news is derived from it... right?

  • I love it when Cenk does impressions of his Turkish relatives.

  • WTF? Sounds like the TYT on MSNBC is starting to make Cenk sound almost like O'reilly!

    I'm 28 and I watch the network news more then I watch cable. Why? Simple. I'm one of the few Americans left that prefer to hear the news and not the "host''s" opinion of the news!

  • TV, like radio is on her deathbed. Newspapers are already caving in due to the Internet. I mean who watches the evening news. I have not watched that in at least 3 yrs. I have TYT now brother.

  • Is Geico a sponsor of the Young Turks?

  • more and more people in our generation are turning their Tv's off and canceling their subscriptions and I hope all of you do too, its nothing but controlled information and propaganda, its not even a good source of information, most of it is over generalized and sensationalized for profit ratings. TYT I loved this video I agree with you 100% on this. The future is the internet.

  • Hey Young Turks Why the Fuck havent you reported on the lockerbie bomber or is that a little too close to home for ya

  • libya = turkey?

    fail.

  • i know therte two different countrys BUT they have close ties to each other so not Fail and i wanted to hear his thoughts about it so not FAIL LOL

  • wtf are you talking about?

  • @c4h6i2s

    First of all... what does this have to do with Diane Sawyer? And secondly; in what universe is Turkey like Libya?

    Oh I get it... you think all Middle Easterners are the same, even when they're naturalized Americans. You must be held in very high esteem in your community.

  • i didnt say that fool i said they have close ties its not an attack its a question .Please read before you attack someone online......a little funny how the Lybian Leader just made a oil deal with the Brits and now hes going to New York and i was JUST asking what are the young turks view on this so FUCK OFF ...

  • Libya and Turkey have about as close of ties as Canada and Jamaica... Wait no, even less, because Canada and Jamaica have Cool Runnings to share.

  • You sure about that ....Please do some research before trying to sound funny and get some thumbs up next to you comments ....you must have google, hear i spelt it for you "libya and turkey"

  • You're the one telling everybody to fuck off, pal-- now you're going to get all butt-hurt and cry because somebody addresses you in a similar tone? Please.

    I called you out based on the what you wrote, genius -- if I was supposed to get more out of it, you should have written it, unless you're one of these fruitcakes that expects people to read their minds.

    Are you seriously going to argue that what you wrote in your follow-up is clear in your OP? Sober up, champ.. making the US look bad

  • you dont need me to make you look bad im not an american another stupid assumption you have just made and i wasn't telling everybody to fuck off just you ! please come at me with a better argument OR GO TO A TOWNHALL AND HAVE A CRY...dont you find it funny how every news outlet is Bias because of cunts like you who attack someone who is asking a descent question

  • People still get their news from TV?

  • They should put Glenn Beck on ABC,

    at least it will be fun to watch LOL!!

  • I miss Peter Jennings.

  • Of course it's a big deal that two out of the three head news anchors are females. One more and it's gonna be The View. . .

  • thank gawd cenk is back.

  • I don't even have tv , there not even anything worth watching on tv anyway.

  • I watch everything online...

  • I love when Cenk does his dad impression.

  • Those poor old people. I wonder what they'll watch now. Probably more Matlock.

  • Hey, don't talk bad bout mah Matlock!

  • Don't be mean. I do not care if you insult young people. Yet the older generation deserves respect and should be asked how they survived so long. They know more than we do.

  • It was a joke. Old people are offended in much worse ways and a lot more often than what I said. Harmless cartoons like the Simpsons say things like that all the time, but that doesn't mean we need to boycott them. I agree that the elderly deserve respect, but that doesn't mean that a simple joke that didn't mean any harm should be taken offensively. I just said that old people like Matlock. I wouldn't be offended at all if people said young kids listen to pop music - I don't, but a lot do.

  • And let us not forget that young people are the butt of alot of jokes as well. Especially those who wear there pants below their cheeks. I mean, sometimes the young need to be laughed at. It's part of growing up. Cranky old geezers need to take a joke and grow up too.

  • MAAAAAAAAAAATTTTLLLOOOCCCCKKKK­!!

  • The only evening news I watch is AUTO-TUNE the NEWS....

  • hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  americassssssss

  • next few years no one will watch the news on TV. Blogging is where its at.

  • hes so bitter its funny...

    too bad bitch your on a dumbass youtube news program...lol...msnbc fucked you.

  • lol! you dumb fuck, he already has his own website......... he just posts small portions of his real show onto YouTube.

  • Cenk's dad sounds awesome. :) I loved that story about what he'd do if Cenk tried to skip school because of an embarrassing photo in the yearbook.

  • LOL at 1:11

    what did he say? Whachoh

    :P

  • Respectable evening news died with Peter Jennings.

  • I can't escape the fucking Geico adds! Wai I has to put up with this on teh interwebs, too? :[ Bitches and whores.

  • Hey veerasix, Get FireFox & Adblocker. I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in ages. :)

  • Hur hur, knock 'em dead >:]

  • I want to kn ow what focus group told geico those ads were good. fucking hate them

  • "I am completely indifferent to this story. Who still watches the evening news."

    I actually LOLed at that one!

  • Who cares? The media does so they can run another story

  • The evening news is such a joke these days. Hell, Katie fucking Couric on CBS? Are you KIDDING me? The same moron who cohosted the today show (or early show or whatever) with that dumbfuck Matt Lauer?? The same ugly bitch? Come on!

    And Charlie Gibson, the jackoff from Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer and that annoying black woman? Please.

    Edward Murrow, Sam Donaldson, Cronkite, and the like were actually worthy of it. Nowadays, they'll put anyone on.

  • ABC and the non-cable stations probably realize by now no one really cares anymore, so they figure "Oh, what the hell? Not like our ratings are ever gonna go UP anytime soon." I mean, even a guy like Ted Koppel was better at hosting Nightline than Terry Moran or that Indian-British guy. At least Ted Koppel SOUNDED like a newsman and had a classic voice.

    Even Memogate Dan Rather was better than the jackoffs on the evening news today.

  • and yet katie couric totally PWNED sarah palin, and for that she ought to be saluted (even though it couldn't have been THAT difficult, but NO ONE was doing this necessary service)

    as for sawyer.. wasn't she a nixon aide? abc took a conservatarded swing to the right after jennings died, this is just another slap at America.

  • if we can trust people like glenn beck to give the news i guess we can trust any1 but they will prob accually tell facts not lies like glenn beck dose

  • you got to admit mr beck can be slightly entertaining tho he reminds me of a grown up butters from south park

  • LOL Butters and Beck are both unintentionally hilarious. You are very right my friend.

  • yes he is entertaining if u dont take what he says siriously but the problem is that people do take him siriously and i hope his crazy tree gets struck by lightening while he is sitting in it

  • i havnt seen much of him, i remember the segment he did on pirates that was unreal

  • well he is off the air now for at least a 2 week suspention but he will prob be fired shortly

  • realy, what did he do if you dont mind me asking

  • he called obama a nazi and stuff and if u watch micfris show if u type in micfri glenn beck in the youtube search u will find him talking bout a lot of the horrible stuff glenn beck said caz there is a lot of it

  • cheers ill have a browse

  • looks like hell be geting the old pink slip through the post

  • lofl yep

  • love the Dad story. I'm still trying to get mom to SIT at the PC. *sigh*.

  • who watches the evening news? You are part of the evening news you dumbass.

  • For a guy who invokes Dawkins' name as his username, you sure aren't acting that bright. You're joking, right?

  • ROFLMAO! Just because cenk posts his videos in the evening, and he covers news, does NOT make him a part of the evening news ya ignorant fuckiwt.

  • ROFLMAO @ cenk's impression of his dad

  • yeah poor Diane Sawyer, nobody will care, now I'm pushing 30 and I still watch the news on TV but honestly I won't care if its Dianne Sawyer or whomever, as long as it's real news and not Fox

  • as hot as the blond anchors on fox are, i still cant watching them.

  • cant stand*

  • julie banderas, she may not be blonde but damn

  • I like the evening news. so... bite me

  • consider yourself bitten 317..

    just kiding

  • I couldn't care less because I don't watch tv and I don't have any vested interest in who hosts what bullshit shows.

    I would like to say, though, that Ann Curry - who does reports on the "Today" show - gave a fascinating and humbling interview on Fora[dot]TV (just search for her name) that really blew me away, totally inspiring. When I think of real journalists I think of Ann Curry. She should get more attention.

  • same here

  • if your whole vid is about how you don't care about something, and how that event isn't news, why the hell would you re-report non-news. It seems odd. was it a lazy news day?

  • It was a two minute video calm down

  • "was it a lazy news day?"

    what do you think? if there was something to talk about, he would talk about it. and if you dont like it, dont watch. nobody is putting a gun to your head.

  • GstateBALLER925 is right: your report on cenk's re-reports on diane non-news...RE-re-reports NON-non-news!

    Re-re-re-reporting from my chair, this is dukenthaylor, NON-non-non-news, YouTube Comments.

  • lawl I nearly crossed your bridge, and shucks I don't want to pay the Troll toll

  • Thanks for reporting news no one cares about.

  • what's the morning news?
