Cenk Uygur owes us explanation regarding Armenian Genocide | 37 comments (37 topical, 0 hidden)
Bad manners (none / 1)

Right. An open forum. Not a love fest, but the man deserves a little respect at his own site. He doesn't owe anyone anything.

How did he find them? It's called "Google." They both come up very quickly. And as of today, there are three entries I saw rather quickly highlighting "Cenk Uygur owes us explanation regarding Armenian Genocide"

Now, how does that look to someone who stumbles across it? It sounds like Cenk is personally being blamed for murdering Armenians.

That SUCKS, ashbul. It is not fair to Cenk and it is not fair to The Young Turks show. If ol' Atilla really wanted to know about Cenk and Armenians, why didn't he ask Ana???

Because that wasn't the point. Being an ass was. And your kind of being an ass saying he asked "a simple question". A simple question would have been "Does the name of the show have anything to do with World War One?" Or, Atilla could have clicked on the "About the Show" link and seen the definition prominently displayed there.

But, no.

He got exactly the response he wanted. Mea culpa.

Culpa mea, but... (none / 0)

Man, I'm not getting it. I had to scroll to the top and reread Atilla's original words to see where you got the idea that he was on some kind of hunting expedition to bag the beloved Uygur. There's nothing there. Of course he Googled "Cenk Uygur" to see what came up. And was maybe a bit troubled by something he found.

Possibly the title he chose ("Cenk Uygur owes us explanation...") was too brazen, but I don't know why you think he's on some kind of anti-Turkish trip. This is nothing like that weird posting of a couple of months ago from someone who'd obviously never watched the show, demanding to know how "these young Turks" can face themselves in the mirror or whatever it said.

Also, I don't consider this to be Cenk's site; it is The Young Turks' site, and that is me and you as much as the Captain.
