1. He's insane. Beyond "unfavorable".

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. That's not an option.

[spicysista]

3. Unfavorable is being kind. n.t.

[Todd79]

4. Once upon a time

Used to like him. Watched his ego grow and grow to the point that I can’t stomach his emotional wreckage.

[Todd79]

5. An finally

Unsubscribed from all TYT channels on YouTube. I can’t stomach them or that bald headed schmo that does the studio radio for them.

6. Need choice infinitely worse than "unfavorable". He is a Trump wannabe, IMO, using Dems/progresives

to try to get a political foothold, which has failed. Once a conservative RW blowhard, always one at heart (including a misogynistic, genocide-defending, and racist history). And Cenk supporters don't dare point to his Armenian female cohost as some suggestion he is NOT. You review his long record, especially since leaving MSNBC.

9. +1

[Laelth]

7. Mostly favorable.

I am not particularly fond of how he has handled himself as a Bernie supporter, but he’s no Trumper. In the grand scheme of things, he’s on the right side of history. He’d like to bend the moral arc of the universe toward justice a little faster than most of us.

8. Justice for thee, not for me.

The Young Turks Union Fight Gets Nastier With Charges of Retaliatory Firing, Withholding Raises

A contentious union campaign by the staff of the progressive news network The Young Turks (TYT) is growing even more combative. Today, the union filed two separate unfair labor practice charges alleging that the company and its CEO, the popular liberal media figure Cenk Uygur, withheld wage increases and bonuses from employees as a result of the union drive, and that they fired an employee as retaliation for union activity—charges that Uygur denies.

On February 12, about 15 TYT employees announced their intention to unionize with IATSE. They expected to gain voluntary recognition from their famously liberal employer through a simple check of union cards, but were spurned. The company insisted on holding a secret ballot election at work in order to recognize the union, a tactic typically considered to be anti-union. (Uygur disputed this, telling In These Times that “Voluntary recognition means any recognition process outside of an NLRB election.” But card check is generally understood to be what unions mean by “voluntary recognition.”)

12. Card Check is part of THE WHOLE CHICKEN.

I am not defending Cenk on this one.

14. Cenk said if his employees unionize it will hurt profits.

When have we heard that before?

[Turin_C3PO]

10. Not fond of him.

I used to like him, but then I read his history and his constant genocide denying and was turned off. The final straws were how he acted in 2016 and and this election, 2020.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. And he is being accused of union busting.

[SCantiGOP]

13. The result of this poll

Will come in just behind “Is rain wet?”

[hlthe2b]

15. I'm not on twitter, but is he getting any pushback at all on this nasty messaging?

[Gothmog]

17. I stopped paying attention to Cenk a long time ago

[Polybius]

18. I enjoy his show, mainly for Ana Kasparian

My crush on her is massive.

[HarlanPepper]

19. I can deduce from the poll

That there are at least 5 people here who love Ctenk and applaud his attacks on Biden.
