I'm confused about TYT

6. Jill Stein can also "seem" progressive and a "liberal." Look at what she DOES,

not what she says.

And look where she gets her money. Someone paid for her to give her talk in Russia and eat at Putin's table.

And she made MILLIONS for her organization with her worthless 2016 vote recount. The recount was never going to change the election, because she knew right from the beginning the PA recount wouldn't go forward. Yet she kept fundraising and kept fundraising, and she ended up with millions EXTRA that went back into her other voting-related projects. She suckered millions of donors into thinking she was making a serious effort.

As for TYK, Uygur used to be a Republican, but now claims to be progressive. TYT have defended RT, the Russian state-run news program, as being less biased than MSNBC.

The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur appeared on RT recently with anchor Abby Martin where he was asked about the ongoing controversy surrounding the network’s coverage of Russia’s invasion of Crimea and press freedom in the United States. Uygur said that the distinction between the two countries was evident in the fact that he lost his job on MSNBC for criticizing President Barack Obama while Martin retained her job after criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Uygur told Martin that he lost his MSNBC show because the White House was not “happy” with his criticism of Obama from the left.

“CNN has lost so much credibility all across the world because everybody knows they cater to the government,” Uygur said. “You criticized the Russian actions in Crimea, you’re still on RT. I criticized the Obama administration and the U.S. government on MSNBC, I’m no longer on MSNBC.”

“So, who has the freer media?” he concluded.

In 1991 Uygur wrote an article on The Daily Pennsylvanian in which he expressed the opinion that the genocide of Armenians during the late stages of the Ottoman Empire did not in fact constitute genocide,[18] a view he repeated in a letter to the editor of Salon in 1999.[19] In a blog post in April 2016, he rescinded the statements. He went on to claim that he does not know enough today to comment on it.[20]

Uygur slowly transitioned away from the Republican Party and he said that the decision to invade Iraq was a "seminal moment" in that transition.[21] He is now a progressive.

Critics have still questioned the name of the news company even after Uygur's response, because it was created during a time when Uygur denied the Armenian Genocide.
