Line 6:
To say that he disliked [[George W. Bush]]'s administration would be a '''massive''' understatement; he likens Bush as a [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]] type, with Vice President Cheney as the [[Man Behind the Man]]. Although initially positive of [[Barack Obama]], Cenk quickly took an increasingly critical attitude towards Obama's policies, repeatedly stating that Obama's administration is too concerned with conceding to the right on nearly every issue. Increasingly concerned that Obama's policies and initiatives were shifting further to the right, Cenk views that the President makes unnecessary and preemptive tangible and ideological concessions to his opponents. On October 21, 2010, Cenk became an official contributor and substitute anchor to MSNBC, filling in for Dylan Ratigan and Ed Schultz, among others. On January 21 of the following year, Cenk hosted his own segment on the 6 p.m. Eastern slot for MSNBC, after [[Keith Olbermann]] parted ways with the network. He earned ''immense'' ratings, enough that MSNBC beat CNN ''and'' [[Fox News]] by June, but his contract with MSNBC ended after he turned down an offer that involved more money, but less prominence. According to Cenk, the head of MSNBC told him "people in Washington were concerned about your tone".

* [[Exclusively Evil]]: His view of Republicans as a whole, with varying degrees of "chaotic" and "evil".
* [[Big Good]]: This is what fans of TYT actually view about ''Cenk himself''. That has some credence, actually, since he's the founder, host and CEO of ''[[The Young Turks]]''. In addition, he apparently spearheads, if not founded Wolf-Pac.
