In July 2023 TYT host Anna Kasparian made controversial remarks about Trans women, leading to accusations of transphobia. Cenk Uygur defended the comments, leading to speculation on other progressive youtube channels such as The Majority Report, Vausch and HananAbi that TYT is moving into right wing politics.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 13:41, 28 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps some additions can be made to Controversies based on Cenk and Anna's recent conduct. Their attack on trans people, believing false new stories about gangs taking over hotels, and Ana's leaving the left tweet and subsequent recent defense of Project 2025 and fascism in Trump's presidential bid 2024. Unfortunately, most of the discussions of these actions is in YouTube videos (such as with The Majority Report channel), and if I recall, Wikipedia doesn't cite Youtube videos as references. 2601:405:4900:54B0:4C8F:23C3:A3D4:518F (talk) 07:54, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Polymarket buyout

Latest comment: 2 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I think it should be noted that The Young Turks has been bought by Polymarket (an online crypto gambling business) and now have to refer to TYT studios as "Polymarket Studios" at the beginning of each show. https://join.tyt.com/polymarket/ 2601:405:4900:54B0:19A6:96F8:A513:5A9D (talk) 01:02, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
