I just started watching Young Turks recently, and it was kind of bizarre to see it on Rev3. I always wondered if there would ever be a political news show on Rev3, and I'm glad to see it's such this awesome, honest show.

Cenk totally supports all drug decriminalization and understands the destructive drug policies, which isn't a common opinion and is even less spoken about. That kind of balls and wisdom makes me love this show. The only problem I had with this episode is that the real show is good because of the conversations, and this got a little tasking listening to Cenk talk to himself.

To be perfectly frank, I think Revision3 made a bad choice when bringing on The Young Turks. I find their type of comedy very dry and their newscasting abilities are pretty poor. In this episode, there was one point discussed and it took 5 minutes. I didn't find this episode engaging or interesting at all. I've been somewhat disappointed when Revision3 brought on shows in the past but this is the worst. This is definitely the last episode of TYT that I'll be watching on Rev3. I understand that Revision3 is trying to bring in more viewers but The Young Turks is a step in the wrong direction.

Love the Young Turks, Cenk is one of the best political pundits today, intelligent and funny. Bravo Revision3, I created a new account because of this addition.

Couldn't agree more. Doing my best to ignore the fact that they are associated with Rev3.

Yeah, I agree with others in the thread that the overall quality and coverage wasn't the best. However, having the title "biggest internet news show" probably means something, and after watching a few more episodes on their YouTube, I found it extremely engaging and entertaining. But a few changes would be necessary for it to be a perfect show:

#1 - upgrade to HD or at least widescreen. And even if you can't, don't stretch it out to widescreen (that's happening in the Rev3 web player, not sure about other devices).

#2 - perhaps edit multiple clips into a single show? It seems weird to put out 10 pieces of content a day and only put one up on Rev3... Or just put the raw livestream up (with ads)?

#3 - make sure the title matches the actual episode - the title refers to Wikileaks whereas the episode talks about taxes - although you're probably on that already.

#4 - keep doing what'choo doing.

I agree that they arn't a very good show, not good enough for rev3.


Also. If you're going to air your show in widescreen. SHOOT IT IN WIDESCREEN. if the first episode they just stretched it out, and everything is distorted.

Shawn I agree 100% I've tried(in vein I must add) for a very long time to actually try to even watch one FULL episode of the Young Turks but its impossible for me to do. Never mind that they are so clearly liberally minded it makes Nancy Polosi look conservative (ok maybe a little exaggerated but you get my point. ) I'm not saying its a bad thing to be liberal about somethings but NOT everything. But they deliver it in such a way that I don't want to listen to them. There are plenty of political outlets that are FAR better than this sorry excuse for a show. I don't know why Rev3 chooses to use this one. This show isn't so much political news as it is political VIEWS, if you want a news show then you have to show each side of the coin not just the spend spend spend, tax tax tax, spend some more mentality. Come one Rev3 lets see a REAL Political Show!!!

I think it's good choice for rev3 its edgy, witty and informative. I'll certainly be watching and enjoying it.

Their opinions are not always liberal at all. As I mentioned, Senk is a proponent of wholesale drug decriminalization. That's a libertarian ideal.
