Cenk Uygur, anti-union owner of TYT, lying about criticizing Khamenei.

Mar 5, 2026 12:00 AM

Personally, I don't think Trump should have done it, especially at Israel's request. But since Trump does everything Netanyahu wants (including letting the Israeli PM run Gaza for the rest of his life, even after his term ends), it happened. Instead of dying of old age, which likely would have happened soon anyway, Kamenei is now a martyr in the eyes of the religious, right-wing nutjobs who've run Iran for decades.

Why on earth would a self-proclaimed Leftist like Cenk praise a dictator in a religious ethnostate where women are oppressed and trans people are killed just for existing? Because he hates the US, plain and simple. So why would he stay here? Because despite claiming to be a fan of socialist policies he still gets to live his best life under Capitalism here, safely criticizing Democrats while buddying up to people like Charlie Kirk, and suppressing his workers when they want to unionize. Don't worry, that story has a happy ending. TYT workers unionized behind his back after he quashed their first attempt.

Leave it to Cenk to find the absolute worst take on Iran. The perfect statement to annoy both right and left.

Not to ever side with Cenk, but that criticism not being represented in tweet form means fuck all to me.

No one can seem to find any TYT footage of him criticizing Khamenei either...

TYT has always just been monetizing being an edgelord.

Always been safer to criticize Democrats, after all they won't write legislation to make your content illegal like Republicans do.

Dems don’t do shit except write a strongly worded letter.

This happened all because Dems are to pathetic and all they do is write letters. That only works if people care about you.

Fuck Israel, glass it so it can never be lived in again. And never give them another land stolen from others.

Cenk was a known dick. Then he seemed to be OK for a while. But he went back to being a known dick.

Managed to make friends with pretty much everyone in right-wing media after Trump won in 2024, even managed to buddy up to Charlie Kirk before he died.

Yeah. Highlights that his interlude was just acting for ratings.

Cenk has avenues other than twitter to criticise world leaders, like his news network for example

Lol i don't care enough to. I just thought equating "no mention on twitter" with "no mention anywhere" was silly, especially for someone like him

Maybe your focus is a little too literal and narrowly focused, but I'm not trying to grind an axe.

So that's a no, you can't find any evidence of him criticizing The Supreme Leader or Iran...

It's an I don't give a shit, because the phrasing of your assertion is skewed and has a propaganda stench. Not going to start listening to this guy to prove your shit.

Those are some fancy $5 words. Sorry bud, not all of us were privileged enough to take philosophy in college. We were looking for proof that Cenk was telling the truth and you are coming up short again.

You can't be anti-union and be a leftist, self proclaimed or otherwise.

He advocates for a modest increase in regulation of capitalism, not replacing it with something better.

It sure sounds like you have an axe to grind and aren't letting reality get in your way.

You obviously didn't hear about the time that TYT workers tried to unionize and he stopped them, so the next time they had to do it behind his back lol.

I'm aware. I'm saying him doing that categorically means he is not a leftist and cannot claim to be one.

By that logic leftists do not exist at all, since people only wear the label for the aesthetic.

No, that doesn't track at all.

Really? Where are all the Leftist businesses where the workers own the means of production? It's not illegal or anything. Where are all the anti-capitalist politicians? Everyone just wants Democratic Socialism and they're waking up to the anti-Democrat grift run by companies like Amazon and TYT. Even garden variety Liberals want what the Nordic countries have. People just call themselves "Leftists" online because it makes them feel like a victim instead of a participant.
