he really undermines his whole "liberal outrage guy" by denying one of the better documented genocides out there, but we all have our blindspots I guess.

So I've heard this many times, but can you give the articles or interviews where he does this? Like literally shoot me the info on this, not being a dick or anything.

I was extremely skeptical of TYT for this reason, but I love Ana and she's OK with it so I can be too. He still seems to be kind of a dick about it, but I doubt Ana would associate herself with them if they were really genocide deniers. I mean naming it the young Turks is pretty loving cringe worthy, but I'm willing to beleive it's not intentional in that way since one of his main cohosts is loving Armenian. Seeing an Armenian and Turk be friends and coworkers is pretty heartwarming tbh, the racial tension between those groups is unreal even in the wonderful u.s.of.a. And that's my post on poo poo no one cares about.

The show is named after a group which participated in mass genocide; that alone should've been enough for liberals to endlessly bludgeon him on. My theory on why he refuses to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide is because he's afraid that Erdogan's government in retaliation will persecute his remaining family in the country if he does. He's still a piece a poo poo for the previous reason though. If you ever watch TYT enough, you'll notice that Cenk has some sort of insecure sense of pride. He never admits he's wrong (or doesn't like to), even on the most trivial of bullshit.

TYT is good, I'm glad it exists, but Anna is the only good host. Controversial? You decide.

Narciss posted:Hahaha a literal "my best friend is a black guy" defense Ana is definitely my favorite, so I'll take it. She did mention she lost relatives in the genocide, so I mean, am I naive to trust her judgement here? I don't get the impression that she'd ever sell herself out in any type of way regarding her work. I've only been watching TYT for a few months though so I'm not ruling out the naive thing. I'm happy whenever I see an alive Armenian person tbh.

Hillary's been one of the most outspoken active politicians on the issue, having co-sponsored a resolution recognizing it in the Senate, but she had to walk some of it back after she attended a memorial in Armenia as Secretary of State. She's resumed personal recognition since she left the Obama Administration, but it's hard to say what her position would be as President since many others have suddenly decided recognition was a bad idea after taking office, including Obama.
