Cenk Uygur: Difference between revisions

{{creator}}

A rising political commentator, analyzer and ex-pundit, the Turkish-American '''Cenk Uygur''' is the main host and creator of ''[[The Young Turks]]'' on [[YouTube]], who wanted to start a liberal political and entertainment show. Born in Istanbul, his Muslim family emigrated to New Jersey when he was eight, but he switched from Muslim to agnostic later in his life, and he worked as an assistant attorney after graduating from Pennsylvania University. Starting off as a Northeast moderate Republican, Cenk subsequently switched into a liberal/progressive, but he says he retains most of his old stances. His most defining view is that [[Mega Corp|multinational corporations]] have [[One Nation Under Copyright|bribed Congress]], manipulating the political system through the media and think tanks in order to shift the spectrum further right-wing, while making money off the backs of the middle and working class; he's quick to call them out on it.
