I love that Cenk has such amazing integrity and didn't sell out to corporate media. Respect.
😆 🤣 😂
You did the right thing leaving the corrupt news media cenk
11:27 Speaking to the past Cenk. Thanks for staying true to your message! Love you all!
Jesus.... why have so many people got a problem with good honest people speaking their minds!
(By good honest people, I mean people like Cenk)
cenk accidentally said who gave him "the talk." he said "the head of MSNBC." SO must be Phil Griffin.
+BlackLabelSlushie The Dad from Family Guy?
There's a difference between subtly and accidentally.
A man of Integrity, a man of truth. Cenk Uygur, I Love You.
So wonderful to find this video. My son recommended it, knowing my current concerns for freedom of the press and to be able to challenge the govt in a healthy way. Must subscribe.
My respect for you, Cenk!Thanks for your work and for your style!
AWESOME!!!!!! YOU GO CENK!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. In the face of one of the most courageous and important acts of journalism you can find online... a very straight forward story of what we instinctively know to be true, you find hordes of immature hateful comments. Cenk you're clearly doing something very right ;) Keep it up.
This ...IS the act of a Patriot...Thank you brother.
Cenk is awesome!
Wow. I seen you like a year ago n didn't know you went to MSNBC. Good stff man. Subbed!
You were fired and replaced with Al Sharpton.
When MSNBC let Keith Olbermann go, I knew something was up. I used to watch Countdown all the time. And when Cenk joined forces, I thought MSNBC was going to dominate. However, MSNBC was founded in 1996 as partnerships of Microsoft and General Electric's NBC unit, which is now NBCUniversal. So the problem with railing against the Right, is that you are railing against management. Both Olbermann and Cenk were too strong a voice for the executives to waterdown so they had to get rid of them.
I don't get the comments and why a few people saying Cenk is full of himself, maybe because the video is about himself?
Because a lot of people (mostly men/boys) gets threatened when they see someone aggressive, arrogant and confident. As they are all positive traits for a man (to a certain degree). But here's the question: Would Cenk be able to challenge authority if he was a scared little p*ssy?
Just ignore the insecure haters, Cenk does his job well and a lot of people will feel threatened by his success.
Jim Larsen its spelt Cenk mate, 50 Cenk, lol...but seriously, why would anyone wanna take your comment seriously with spelling like that...especially when someone spelt it correctly in the comment you replied to lol
its turkish you fuck. also look up spelt...im not american so i can spell it like that, and im not british...why do you guys always assume someone is british if there not american, both countries are corrupt as fuck and would never want to live there...now visiting it would be a different story...Anyway to school you...it is called the young turks, and in turkey they pronounce the C as a J, so your reasoning makes no sense...if it was called the young englishman then yea sure you could get angry at it, but the fact that you cant pronounce his name right in his OWN language, "IRKS me". He could say oh your name should be spelt like Cim Larsen...Your ignorance bothers me. Outties
Wow, do you really have that much against foreign names? In the US a lot of people have German, Scandinavian and Spanish names, they all have different letters and pronounciations from the english vocabulary, but I dont see you complaining about them...
What exactly is it with Cenk (not Sink) that you dislike so much? Can you come with a specific thing he said/did?
Jim Larsen you're a dumbAss
I think you made the right choice. Good luck, we love you.
hey cenk, you're no conan O'Brien.
Cenk Uygur, you're the most honest reporter I've ever known. And I don't want you to change that for nothing in the world. You're different. You express your own rational opinions on either party without caring about how they feel. That's what you call a real press.
Ur joking right?
I like this guy and the program better and better.
Finally we have found someone with real principals
Thank You Cenk
your better then MSNBC. MSNBC going Down hill.
Thanks for realizing that, at the end of the day, integrity matters more, especially when it comes to news, where morals are few and far between...
I love you Cenk, you are so awesome. I remember being so excited about you starting up on Msnbc but I definitely support your decision. You shouldn't have to tone down what you do. What you say NEEDS to be heard! Thank you for keeping your promise and staying with us. =D
Cenk should apply for a job at Fox News. Lmao.
Murdoch's too busy paying compensation to the parents of a murdered abducted schoolgirl for hacking her phone when she went missing to go through a job application.
jackriver1999 Her name was Millie Dowler.
Thank you. People like you give me hope ;-)
Respect
I'm glad you're at Current TV!
This is highly unprofessional. Talking shit about your previous employer won't get this guy anywhere
its not like hes trying to get "somewhere", hes already perfectly fine at tyt
it's more of an expression. the point is he comes across as extremely petty. i cringed when he mentioned at all the money he would have made.
Hmm sure about 4 million subscribers overall in TYT network wont take anywhere, no to sure about that, he has a movie coming up, at the rate he is getting subscribers every day you might be surprised.. I support TYT of course I don't agree with everything but, TYT in terms of credibility and information are way better than anything you'll find on television
douchheeeeeee baggggggg
Well said. You made the right decision!
He got fired. What a putz.
mind showing some proff instead of ust sayng it?
+Reathety irrelevant. He's in a much better place now. He can actually speak his mind rather than having to shush for the establishment.
Hell yeah Cenk! Keep crushing it!
I have so much respect for you Cenk!
Hahaha... funny :D
EXTREMELY INTERESTING!!!
And I totally agree @3:06, I remember seeing u on MSNBC and thinking something just wasn't right
Love Cenk. But he could've taken the money, and waited it out, and had even more stories to tell us later. We need eyes on the inside, now they already know he is not to be trusted by 'the club' . Blew his great cover all I'm sayin. He managed to slip in through cracks bc he's such a damn attractive teammate. man speaks truth and the people like it that's why. love ya Cenk! Be sneakier next time. 😘
I agree!
Thank you for your excellent work and integrity Cenk
Man I hate that Cenk left I wont watch nor will I ever watched Al Sharpton who is in the time slot Cenk was in
Cenk is a Fighting Lion that's brave. Stick to your Guns and thank you for telling us the truth TYT. Keep up the great work.
He was fired who's he shitting.
MuckoMan But he didn't tell you to speak proper English, he just asked you to learn it. You are illiterate LMAO. Also, learn proper paraphrasing and punctuation.
It is SO good to see Cenk Uyger on Current tv alongside fellow MSNBC expat Keith Olbermann. Keep telling it like it is Cenk and we'll keep watching.
#tonedownforwhat
Ones ability to acknowledge mistakes and flaws, then to tackle and progress past them is mark of true greatness.
Your presentation is the reason TYT is one of my favorite shows. You and Ana. But who am I
GOOD FOR YOU CENK! I wish more reporters had a little something called INTEGRITY.
Much respect for not selling out! You just gained me as a subscriber Cenk! All The best & keep doing what you do!
Good job Cenk! Thanks for being true to yourself and your audience
I can not put into words to describe my respect for you. You are a real journalist. A real person. Bravo to you! You couldn't be bought. My hat is off to you, sir.
I
My college roommate introduced me to the Young Turks and I've been listening to it ever since. He liked the show because it was factual, truthful, and spot on in terms of accuracy. His parents were hardcore republicans who watched fox religiously, which is why he tuned into a show that didn't distort the truth and had journalistic integrity.
Thats why I'm still a fan, and my roommate is as well. Thanks for keeping it real Cenk and keep up the great work. Well continue tuning in
dude i liked this guy already, but at the 11thminute i became a fan
@Cenk Uygur
I am a libertarian & even though you lean left in your politics, I just love listening to you speak and your genuine desire to tell it like it is. Letting the public know why you left the media is also a big plus. That is what viewers value the most, Honesty. If you filter the news and deliver half truths, you loose credibility. Thank you very much for your sincerity as a reporter & as a person.
Way to go Cenk. I was wondering what happened. Thank you for your integrity. Until our side speaks bravely and with truthfulness from our principles, we will continue to falter on changing our country. You made the right decision! instead of leaning forward, um lets walk forward, lets push forward!
I adore you Cenk, and stand behind you 100%. I will continue to watch The Young Turks faithfully. You were a breath of fresh air on MSNBC. I love the way you report the news, and I am a huge fan.
You've got to love and support this guy for his candour and moral incorruptibility! Highfive
Respect to you, Cenk.
Cenk, I may not agree with 70% of your opinions, but I like you as a reporter and as a man because you are honest.
Stamp of Approval
good for you! and I am a conservative
You're one of the only media people I've found that I respect. Well, a few people who write articles, but not video news.
Hey Cenk,You are THE Best reporter of my generation...Move Ahead Buddy i m with u...
Cenk, YOU'RE THE MAN!!!
Way to go Cenk! Finally somebody who has an ounce of journalistic integrity.
I'm proud of ya Cenk! You have my respect forever
Nothing but respect for Cenk, not many people would stick to their principals like that.
Love you, Cenk :)
I'm sssooo sorry to see you go, Cenk. I will miss you very much. Your description of the cable news business is fascinating!!! Almost as intriguing as what happens in Washington.
Good man Cenk you only live once and you can say without a doubt at the end that you are a man with integrity and all the money in the world is not as important as being true to yourself!
thank you for doing what you do
Well done dude, if only there was more than 1% of the media like you!
Hats off to you Cenk, congratulations on standing up for what you believe in irregardless of the consequences. We need more people in the media like you, with a high sense of integrity.
I like this guy. Standing by his principles and being pretty humble and aware of different perspectives. It's a shame he left but I'm glad his voice is still free.
😆 🤣 😂 😹
New to your show, but really impressed with your integrity. You've won a new viewer. :)
You made the right choice Cenk! Me and thousands of viewers are right behind you!
I can honestly say you are one of the few people i admire in this world just because of your virtues and way of being.
Hopefully this and your persistance translates in to your life and your work and your continued persistance will bring you many fruits in the future!
Faithful TYT watcher!
Peace
lol, Cenk, thanks for sharing your experience.
I have to admit he's won me over to some extend with his appearance on Countdown with Keith Olberbann this evening. Funny, but he's actually a whole lot more engaging when he's being asked the questions, rather than the one asking them. And to tell the truth, if ever there was a network tailor-made to what he wants to do, Current would seem to be it. I think Cenk has a lot to learn when it comes to on-air skills, but Current might be an ideal fit for him and he might be an ideal fit for them.
Hi my name is Cenk Sentürk! You all know the that the name Cenk comes from Cengaver and the meaning of Cengaver is Soldier/Fighter in turkish and Cenk is meaning War too. It is a special name and its a honor. Cenk is a fighter for all of us. (sry for my bad english)
Cenk is that rarest of gems: a man of principle.
Oh, man you are great..!Want to know more about you...just watched many of your programs (The Young Turks)...!I love the way you are such a jejune person..so fair..so impartial.. the way that a Journalist or Representer supposed to be !!!
I never watch MSNBC and I have never heard of you before and from what I've heard you speak, I don't agree with everything you say, but I applaud you for your stand and you decision. If it is any consolation, I no longer look to just fox for my news either.
Your'e an inspiration Cenk, regards from a fellow Turk in Los Angeles.
Cenk always has kept it real from day one!
Cenk Uygur: the man. Telling the news like it really is, all day, everyday, any day.
Goes to show you how much a free country we live in and how great our news system is
One of the ONLY things that gives me hope about this country is that there is a Cenk Uygur giving it to the man. Cenk, you are my hero!
Thank you Cenk :)
I can't think of many people who would have turned down the offer they gave you of twice the salary that you would have received for a job that would have required less work.
Thanks, Cenk, for not selling out and sticking to your principles.
Cenk, I don't care why you left MSNBC, I'm just so happy to have you back on TYT!!! I don't know about everyone else, but I don't think things were ever the same without you.
Cenk is a real American hero! Fighting for the little man and the common sense.
Good on you, man
Hell yeah Cenk. :)
WOW- you are AWESOME. Finally SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A HYPOCRITE!!
I was watching msnbc just for Cenk, now I would never flip that channel ever again
Cenk, I have to say I was wrong. I commented when you went to MSNBC you would sell out. You definitely proved me wrong. Keep up the good work!
I don't agree with everything Cenk says, but this makes me respect him so much more than before. I'll be watching more TYT in the future. This guy has integrity -- sorely lacking in today's media environment.
Cenk, I respect the hell outta you man. You're awesome for sticking up for what you know is right and following your dreams as a real newscaster, not a souless liar like the rest of the TV news casters..
BTW, Cheers on sticking to your principles, Cenk. You were a shining beacon of Awesome in the MSM, you had a good run :) And we still have you on the internets!
Bravo! Why does this video not have a billion views?
As a Turk, I'm very proud of you Cenk. I know many said "he sold out" when you moved to mainstream media but real selling out would be caving in to their rules and exceptng that large sum of money and You stand your groud, did not except MSNBC executives' warnings, did not except the money. And in the end you did not sell out. KOÇUM BENİM HELAL SANA!
I am not in that money group but I think you are fantastic! I watch all your shows including your live stream.....Love you!
wow..Good on this man!
always good to find honest principled people in the media. they are so few and far between.
