Dude, pleas don’t use the Urband Directory in an argument you look ridiculous, although I am on the TYT’s side on this, but still… Pleas use anything else.

“The Young Turks” has multiple meanings? You don’t say! I wonder if a man with a continued history of either denying or deflecting on the occurrence of the Armenian genocide is naming his program using the being definition you pointed out.

Spare everyone that BS ok? The Young Turks has an extremely negative association with a regime that committed mass murder and there us absolutely no good reason for a genocide denier like Cenk to ever make use if that groups name.

Yes I expressed myself poorly. While Cenk is renown as an apologist of the Regressive Left when talking about issues in the US his stance becomes more nationalistic when addressing issues in Turkey. I no longer watch TYT other than occasional clips highlighted by others so am conscious I can’t refer to specific examples other than the issue of the Armenian Genocide.

I personally can’t see a contradiction between the ultimate consequences of Regressive and Far Right policies. They focus on different tribes but an expansionist Orwellian State is their goal.

“Personally, I don’t regard cenk as anything other than a hard right propagandist”

I’m not sure I understand this statement. Are you saying that he’s “hard right”? In which case, he could be called a lot of things…right-wing isn’t one of them.

Or, are you saying that he spouts off anti-right wing propaganda? That makes a little more sense, as on multiple occasions he’s misquoted, stated his personal opinions as if they were fact and used the classic “they’re racists/bigots/etc.” against conservative figures.

[…] Uygur is simply stalling when it comes to acknowledging the Armenian Genocide. […]

“… and having Ana tweet it out etc… ”

Would Ana co-operate with such manoeuvring? She’s condemned the genocide on her personal channel. AFAIK has (can?) not on a TYT channel.

Personally, I don’t regard cenk as anything other than a hard right propagandist, supporting Turkish expansionism and the prejudicial causes of the Regressive Left.

“Liberal” he ain’t.

And neither will Israel: http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/04/23/why-is-israel-still-silent-on-armenian-genocide

Apparently some genocides are more worthy of acknowledgment than others.

TYT-The Young Turks,this was the political party in charge that executed the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Armenians around the world still get goosebumbs just from hearing or seeing those words,it is extremely offensive for at least 10 million people ,who have had direct ancestors killed or placed out of their homes to become refugees.
It would be like naming an organization “The Nigger Haters” and explaining it as “We just dont like the black color” and quoting the Oxnard Dictionary- ” Nigger- Origin
Late 16th century: from earlier neger, after Latin niger ‘black’ (see Negro).”
One shouldnt justify something quoting the 3rd or 4th meaning of the word or the phrase and completely ignoring the 1st and 2nd meaning of it,which in case of “Nigger” would be ” The word nigger has been used as a strongly negative term of contempt for a black person since at least the 18th century” (source -Oxnard Dictionary).
The name TYT has got to go,surely there are other phrases TYT and Cenk Uygur can identify with,The Young Turks is not the best you can do Cenk.
This is from someone who has been a loyal follower of your media outlet and,most importantly,agree with most of ideas and values that your organization is promoting.
