‘Are others copying the TYT business model?’ – Q&A with Cenk Uygur at Mad As Hell film screening
At the NYC premiere of the Mad As Hell film, TYT host Cenk Uygur answers the audience question: “Have you noticed a shift in how mainstream media views online news – and any imitations of the TYT business model?”. The panel also featured Mad As Hell director Andrew Napier, and was hosted by Sam Seder (http://www.youtube.com/samseder).

ABOUT MAD AS HELL
The Young Turks, one of the most popular online news shows in the world, has amassed a YouTube network of millions of subscribers and billions of views. But that wasn’t 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 timeslot on MSNBC, Cenk’s 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. The film is directed by Andrew Napier.

Tyt business model is the same as Fox news. Tell the news as they see fit.

TYT business model – program 28-year-old children to hate their parents and
steal from their neighbors.
March 14, 2015 @ 11:31 am
Say what you want about TYT, but their business model works.
March 14, 2015 @ 11:32 am
I watch tyt but I don’t really like gays or blacks. I mostly watch tyt for
the trolls in the comment section, and sometimes cenk comedy. He’s the only
tyt member that I like. Ana is kind of annoying and not funny, jimmy is
sometimes funny other times awkward and John is meh.
March 14, 2015 @ 11:46 am
TYT’s got some damn committed trolls. You have to respect then in a
way…the tenacity, the commitment to troll video after video.
March 14, 2015 @ 11:48 am
lol,Is that business model just regurgitating other peoples news?I stopped
watching alot of your shows when you went to paid subscriptions.Its not
like you have live reporters on the field and need to pay them.Seriously
how much does a quick google search cost?lol
March 14, 2015 @ 11:50 am
Who is copying tyt? Lol
Cenk really believes he is the greatest broadcaster of all time. Where does
he get that ego?
March 14, 2015 @ 11:55 am
Audio only – I wonder why. Room of 5 people probably. lol
Nobody gives a fuck about your self-aggrandising documentary, which was
made BY TYT people ABOUT the TYT boss, the only people who bother watching
it are retarded tweens who suck up your bullshit propaganda anyway.
March 14, 2015 @ 11:58 am
I knew TyT had finally been acknowledged, albeit begrudgingly, when the
troll force came out- I was happy to see it. The surest sign out here you
are having an effect is when the silly baiting begins in earnest.
Thanks trolls- you are making TyT bigger, and badder by the day. Keep up
the great work!

TYT thinks age matter (they’re also ageist). Look who voted during the
mid-term election in the US: only 34% of ALL people able to vote voted.
34%! How many of that 34% was over the age of 50? Around 40 or so %. Cenk
just brushes off old people like they don’t matter. What a buffoon Cenk is.

Anti-TYT troll business model:
1. Get paid by anti-justice corporates.
2. Say nonsensical things about TYT constantly.
3. Waste time, because it’s not working.
4. Be on the wrong side of history, truth, justice and wealth creation.
5. Hang head in shame and regret.
March 14, 2015 @ 1:01 pm
I want to see this!
March 14, 2015 @ 1:07 pm
but the business model isn’t new, the daily show, today, face the nation,
this week, dateline, the O’reilly factor, 60 minutes, this hour has 22
minutes, 20/20, have I got news for you, democracy now, fifth estate, prime
time, reliable sources, and the cost of freedom.
they all did this first and some better so don’t go around saying what you
did was unique because it wasn’t when you started and isn’t now
March 14, 2015 @ 1:36 pm
I’m a little surprised the trolls haven’t gone the conspiracy route of
those 2 billion views and 2 million subscribers being all fake accounts and
views.
March 14, 2015 @ 1:43 pm

*TYT business model (confidential file)*
1) minorities are the only people worthy of reporting injustice about
2) there is no rule 2

Just when you think TYT was is returning to goo ol’ honest journalism, they
hit you inn the face with super-egotistic self-promotion.
I get it, they’re technically a company which is pretty ironic given what
they stand for, or supposedly stand for.
But… to paraphrase one of the TYT hosts in regards to Bill O’Reilly which
fits into this scenario quite nicely: even if it’s true, it’s just not
something the good guy would say.
‘oooh, look how people are copying TYT’
Dude, nothing you are doing or ever have done is original. You do realize
this, right/ To one extent or another, everything you’ve done has either
been pioneered by other, lesser known people or in the case of ‘get money
out of politics’ well people have been using money in politics, just as
much as people have fought this, amended it or fought revolutions over it
for thousands of years.
Even if you get money out of politics, which you won’t for one very simple
reason: make rich people desperate enough and they’ll use less subtle
methods of bribery and intimidation, but TYT have their heads so stuck in
the clouds they genuinely think they can walk into Congress and just change
things, or that the government has to change if people want it. All
admirable goals, but utterly naive – there’d be civil war before there’d be
an end to government corruption.
*sigh* ..ultimately all I’m saying is take it down a notch. You might think
your version of advertising is much more moral than your other, right-wing
American counterparts, but you still look like pretentious lying people to
us Europeans.

I WANT TO THANK EVERY TYT CONSERBATIVE TROLL..
The more you watch the videos and the more you comment on them the more
money tyt makes..
You are the true fans because you help tyt stay alive.
Keep trolling on every tyt video, keep the money coming!
Thank you

Hi Cenk and Ana and the whole TYT family! It was great meeting you guys in
Vegas and I wanted to share with you Cenk that I know you don’t really
believe in energy but I took a photo of you and Ana and steve when the film
was over and there’s an orb in the photo! Send me a email to send it to if
you’d like to see
March 14, 2015 @ 10:15 pm
If TYT was so great, they wouldn’t have lost out to the Obama Youtube
interviews, but they did and whined about it like the renegade journalist
hacks they are. If they were so great, what’s with all the campy product
pitches? TYT is a legend in Cenk’s mind.
March 15, 2015 @ 12:19 am
TYT is basically a voice to text translator. You read other people’s work
and record yourself doing so.
Try doing some of your own journalism for a change.
March 15, 2015 @ 1:15 am
How does +The Young Turks do it? 90% of what serve on plate is NOT
OPINIONATED. 100% they report isn’t made-up.
