Do you all like this Cenk who is filling in for Big Ed?

[Monique1]

He is too negative for me but I would like to read your thoughts.

[mmonk]

1. Always.

[TheKentuckian]

2. He is rocking the house every day.

[Vinca]

3. I like him. He was pretty amusing talking about his Muslim demon seed.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. Yes, he's a pretty hard core lefty. I like him a lot.

He's also pals with Wes Clark's unruly, foul mouthed son, who I think is very smart and agree with on most issues, too.

[BlueMTexpat]

5. I am pretty much a fan.

We're certainly not in lock-step agreement on all things. But his voice is needed.

27. He takes no BS and is a strong advocate for progressives.

Cenk "goes on the offense, and stays there'.
The TYT army is TOO strong!

Love ya Cenk. Get 'em.

[kimi]

7. I like him, actually

Haven't seen him before, but he's keeping me amused, and I feel that he's passionate and intelligent about his topics.

[Cirque du So-What]

8. The truth is seldom pretty

I prefer my news & commentary 'neat' - devoid of sugarcoated fluffy frou frou that passes for journalism in the corporate media.

[phantom power]

9. I think we could use a lot more like him

[EFerrari]

10. Yes.

[Taverner]

11. Cenk Rules!

The guy needs a show on MSNBC!

[Me.]

12. They Should Give Him The 10pm Spot

Instead of O'Donnell whose inside the beltway yakking is a yawn especially as he's seldom right.

[alsame]

13. Yes. I'm hoping he gets a permanent show of his own. nt

[librechik]

14. I luv Cenk--my husband tends to be annoyed by him

comes off a little too conservative at times--he used to be one before he saw the light. I listen to the Young Turks radio show everyday

[CTyankee]

22. where is he conservative?

[Subdivisions]

15. Negative aside, is he speaking the truth or not? n/t

[Pirate Smile]

16. No, I don't so I don't watch him. I wont watch Ratigan either. I was done with him before he even

moved to the afternoon slot.

It is the same reason I don't watch Faux. It just pisses me off and it's not worth it.

[Sky Masterson]

17. I wish they would dump Ed and keep him

Ed annoys me

[Monique1]

19. I'm a big Ed fan

[polichick]

25. Me too! But I'd love for both of them to have shows. nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

24. Non-American here. I've listened to both on YouTube, and I like Ed better. -nt

[Tx4obama]

18. Yes, he's great. I always watch his TYT videos when they're posting here on DU.

He's been filing in quite a bit lately on MSNBC.
I hope he gets his own time slot soon :)

[zeemike]

20. I think Ed likes Cenk.

And that is why he gave him a shot.
And I can understand that being an old fart myself....you tend to be charmed by the energy and coolness of the young...
And Cenk has it.

[polichick]

21. Yep - I like people who aren't afraid of the truth...

...no matter how ugly or inconvenient it is. Cenk is one of those people.

[undeterred]

23. I listened to him when he was a Young Turk.

Very Smart guy.

[Canuckistanian]

26. LOVE the Cenk

Sometimes he's negative, sure. But he has great ideas that sure resonate with me.
