Related: About this forumCatch MAD AS HELL, the Story of The Young Turks, in a Theater Near You!
Rating: NR
Genre: Documentary
Release: 2014
Duration: 82
The Young Turks, one of the most popular online news shows in the world, has amassed a YouTube network of over 2.4 million subscribers and 2 billion views. But that wasnt always the case.
MAD AS HELL documents the tumultuous, at times hilarious and altogether astonishing trajectory of Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks main host and founder, as he traverses from unknown Public Access TV host to internet sensation by way of YouTube. When he ventures into national television by landing the 6 PM time slot on MSNBC, Cenks uncensored brand of journalism is compromised as he becomes a thorn in the side of traditional news media; his unwavering dedication to speaking the truth puts him at the very nexus of the battle between new and old media, and makes MAD AS HELL not only entertaining, but incredibly timely as well.
Mad As Hell is being brought to theatres through Gathr. Check out all the currently scheduled screenings, or schedule one in your town, through Gathr's interactive map site: Gathr: US Scheduled Screenings for MAD AS HELL

the Diebold Syndrome somewhere, somehow.

TYT points the way out of the MSM...which deserves to die a slow lingering death.

(20,453 posts)8. Interesting Mark Marem (sp?) comment...
He "wouldn't have done that"
taken the risk. Well, Mark, I guess it's easier to take the money after starting out with Morning Sedition on Air America. Personally, I don't find interest in what you have to say, but I sure as hell find what Cenk and TYTs have to do.

The person who said he "wouldn't have done what Cenk did" in the trailer is Ben Mankiewicz, original co-host of TYT.

(20,453 posts)10. That sure looked like Maron...
I'll have to excuse myself, if that's the case, as I stand corrected.
BTW
Mankiewicz
. what is he doing these days to make such a comment?

Ben is doing many things, including hosting TYT on occasion.
