He is too negative for me but I would like to read your thoughts.

4. Yes, he's a pretty hard core lefty. I like him a lot.
He's also pals with Wes Clark's unruly, foul mouthed son, who I think is very smart and agree with on most issues, too.

5. I am pretty much a fan.
We're certainly not in lock-step agreement on all things. But his voice is needed.

27. He takes no BS and is a strong advocate for progressives.
Cenk "goes on the offense, and stays there'.
The TYT army is TOO strong!

Love ya Cenk. Get 'em.

7. I like him, actually
Haven't seen him before, but he's keeping me amused, and I feel that he's passionate and intelligent about his topics.

8. The truth is seldom pretty
I prefer my news & commentary 'neat' - devoid of sugarcoated fluffy frou frou that passes for journalism in the corporate media.

12. They Should Give Him The 10pm Spot
Instead of O'Donnell whose inside the beltway yakking is a yawn especially as he's seldom right.

14. I luv Cenk--my husband tends to be annoyed by him
comes off a little too conservative at times--he used to be one before he saw the light. I listen to the Young Turks radio show everyday

16. No, I don't so I don't watch him. I wont watch Ratigan either. I was done with him before he even
moved to the afternoon slot.

It is the same reason I don't watch Faux. It just pisses me off and it's not worth it.

18. Yes, he's great. I always watch his TYT videos when they're posting here on DU.
He's been filing in quite a bit lately on MSNBC.
I hope he gets his own time slot soon :)

20. I think Ed likes Cenk.
And that is why he gave him a shot.
And I can understand that being an old fart myself....you tend to be charmed by the energy and coolness of the young...
And Cenk has it.

21. Yep - I like people who aren't afraid of the truth...
...no matter how ugly or inconvenient it is. Cenk is one of those people.

Sometimes he's negative, sure. But he has great ideas that sure resonate with me.
