Cenk Uygur Shares The Young Turks’ ‘Dangerous Strategy’ for Covering Presidential Election


The Young Turks CEO Cenk Uygur talks political news strategy.

With the election-season heading into the homestretch, the controversial political commentator and CEO/founder of The Young Turks is so committed to being brutally honest with his views that he openly admits he’s willing to lose viewers rather than do what he sees his mainstream rivals doing: toeing the party lines on either side of the aisle. Elsewhere in the podcast, Uygur expounds the future of news media and TYT’s role in it, emphasizing the importance of dynamic ad insertion on YouTube. As for how he sees the coming election, Uygur shares his predictions about Kamala Harris’ campaign and the challenges she faced, including her decision to be more friendly to corporate America.
