@emanimal728 This is Steve Oh from The Young Turks & I'm the Exec Dir of this show. It is near impossible to get smart, thoughtful conservatives who offer "the other side" of the discussion b/c so few of them exist. We don't want some bullshit fake debate where idealogues simply scream their talking points. I prefer a real conversation, even if everyone agrees, where each person brings a unique perspective and nuance to the discussion. That said, we will continue to reach out to conservatives.

Good show. But I like TYT because Cenk and Ana cover current politics and weird interesting stories. I depend on TYT for popular politics. Don't change TYT. Keep the Point for long stories.

@screwit01 That's like arguing that both sides have something relevant to say

Google "The Man Who Knows Indians" for another point on why Avatar is ultimately a conservative film.

Of course Hollywood is Liberal! LOL. Anyone can tell you that. I certainly love that fact, but in general, the US is more of a conservative country when compared to...Europe.

We already know what "the other side" will bring to the table and it won't be fact based.

@JOEtheHOTTIE would they even WANT to come? Im betting on NO :) But it would be funny to watch ...

[Daelyas]

@screwit01 I sort of agree... the problem is however... that most people on the other side of these topics are just not able to ... well... be logical? My Sky God told me to attack nation A or B or C just is a reeeeeally weak argument f.i. :)

@screwit01 The Point isn't a debate show, it's to make a point. The opposite side raise their points all the time, and are free to approach cenk for a debate on TYT any time. Cenk has invited and talked with opposite side members on many occasions on his other shows.
