MSNBC Picks Up Cenk Uygur After Dumping Olbermann

If you don't know Cenk Uygur well shame on you.   He's the founder of the web TV show, "The Young Turks."   A forceful, outspoken Progressive and, as AlterNet puts it, shows that the departure of Olbermann won't be a net loss.


Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films said this of Uygur, "Cenk is the real deal. He's smart, thoughtful, aggressive, with a large and loyal following. He is perfect person to have the regular slot on MSNBC, and when they make it permanent, MSNBC will be letting the world know that it is doing the right thing, in the face of great concern over the Olbermann departure."

Word of the move has already got rightwingers foaming, as you can see below:

    Regrettably I have only seen a few of his videos on youtube, but I agree it is quality, and I enjoy watching it.

    Good for him, I've enjoyed his brash style and impeccable logic for quite some time.

    I like his views. They are logical
    People who dislike his show are obviously rightwingers and others who usually make no sense
