    Anyone here watch them? If so, what's your take? I find it rather informative and sometimes worth a good laugh.

    This is pretty much my thought as well. I don't ever watch regularly but every once in a while I'll come across their YouTube page and I'll watch a handful of videos.

    That reminded me of all the people that read a post that has the phrase "for all intents and purposes" and 'correct' the poster, letting them know that it is 'supposed to be' "for all intensive purposes." The lesson is, don't try to correct someone else unless you are damn sure you are right and they are wrong.

    It's not so much that he is wrong, it is that he is such an immature child. He could of just said 'I think Brietbart is wrong because I think he is dishonest and the evidence doesn't add up'. There would be no reason to post the video if he had just said that, but instead he rants like a 10 year old schoolyard bully.

    It's clear that Breitbart is being victimized here, just like all conservatives are victimized.

    I really enjoy The Young Turks, and love it when Cenk is on MSNBC. He may have been wrong about one Breitbart story, but his record for accuracy, far far far outweighs the record of Breitbart.

    He's not afraid to let the facts talk, and report the facts as actual facts instead of just one side of the story.

    I'm subscribed to TYT on youtube, and it's pretty funny and informative. I also think they sometimes are too blatantly left, though.

    Plus Ana can be hot sometimes.

    Ana can be hot a lot of times. I saw his short clip of her reading emails about why people think she got a job on TYT and one of them said she got it because 'of her amazing rack' Ever since that video, when she's on all I can think of is 'damn, that rack must be getting her somewhere, it looks amazing'

    Very Principled stand by Cenk. He's a great guy, and great commentator. MSNBC will be worse for his absence.

    They were already paying him pretty good from what I understand, to double that pay to put him in a lesser role. He's got some cajones to turn that down, I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done the same thing. Man sticks by his principles, can't argue that one.

    Was hoping Cenk would get his own show on MSNBC. They dropped the ball, IMO.

    Liberals should not trust NBC i.e GE corporate media. They fired Phil Donahue when he was their most popular host, because he was not sufficiently pro-wa in the lead up to Dubya's Iraq debacle. They dictated that he had to have two pro-war guests for every one who questioned it, but even that was not sufficient.

    Cenk's firing will be a warning for Rachel and the others.

    Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe is always calling out GE for not paying any taxes. I think GE likes having the liberal angle now, but they want them to be in line. Cenk wouldn't stay "in line". He spoke the truth. The media sucks. Good thing there is the Internets.
