Former Turkish MSNBC anchor Cenk Uygur is the co-founder and main host of the left-leaning online media outlet ‘The Young Turks’, that according to him is the “biggest online news show in the world”.[1]
Despite good ratings while Uygur hosted MSNBC Live for six months, he was not offered a permanent role.[2] According to his version of events, his departure from the network was because MSNBC management considered him too combative towards "those in power" and wanted him to "tone it down".[3]
Over recent years, he is being faced with increasing pressure to address his past claims that the Armenian genocide didn't actually happen.
Cenk Uygur and Kyle Kulinski of The Young Turks network were on board of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Justice Democrats PAC’s in early December 2017, but Uygur was forced out of the organization Dec. 22, 2017, after what Saikat Chakrabarti called “extremely disturbing sexist and racist statements” Uygur made in the early 2000s were unearthed.[4]
