Cenk Ugyur And The Young Turks Beat Fox News In Ratings

Here Cenk Uygur gets the chance to crow a little bit about MSNBC actually beating Fox News in the ratings. Love it. The Young Turks is huge on Youtube and the show with Cenk and Ana Kasparian is a great source for non-biased reporting, unlike Fox News with their well-known right wing slant. Actually it's more of an overhang than a simple "slant".



Uygur has been a regular guest on The Dylan Ratigan Show on MSNBC and this past October the network announced he had been hired as a substitute anchor, which is what he was discussing with Ana in the clip above.

Apparently the ratings for a portion of the time Cenk was hosting the show bested Fox News which is hard to do at the best of times. It shows the viewers and listeners of The Young Turks are willing to come out in force to listen to a balanced reporting of the days news events and intelligent dialogue rather than hammering away at their ideological talking points and right-wing hobby horses as their competitors seem to do.

The Young Turks have a large audience that they have grown since about February 2002 and garner as many as 18 million views for their Youtube channel alone.

Dylan Ratigan Discusses 2010 Election Results With Cenk Uygur And Glenn Greenwald

I have to say that this is an awesome clip. Cenk Uygur from TheYoungTurks and Glenn Greenwald from Salon.com discuss the results of the 2010 election results with MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan.



Greenwald actually posted a longer version (including what looks like a pre-2012 Sarah Palin presidential ad) before they launch into this lively exchange.

You cannot fault Uygur for his passion on this and all make very good points. Even if you strongly disagree with the facts they put forward, this is 100 percent better political debate than just about anything you will see with Glen Beck or Limbaugh.
