Do you like the TYT/BNF Election Coverage?

Of course you do and so do I.

So let's help them out and give them as many Diggs as we can.

More Diggs means more people will become aware of this and join in. Not only does that help support progressive programming, but there's a good chance TYT will get some members out of it.

I heart Live (none / 0)

OF COURSE we love it.

What we need to do is convince the big blogs/sites to advertise it.

As far as I know no other group is offering live coverage for major events like TYT.

And as such I can't see any reason why not every person in the blogosphere wouldn't watch at least some of the coverage.

Check out this spiffy ad BNF made for tonites coverage!

and the second ad (def made by TYT crew!)

where's the Obama quote from? (none / 0)
What speech is the first Obama quote in that second video from?  It's like a huge ass pitcher of American Kool-Aid.  I love it!

THE BEST! (none / 0)

The Young Turks coverage has been the absolute best ever.  I took off of work early today so I could watch for it.

Anyone else blowing this out bigger than the Super Bowl?  I've got my chips and dip, a couple of hot dogs, and a huge ass Slurpee.  This is going to be epic!

We should all friend each other and form a TYT Digg alliance.

So much better than the networks.  I've got my TV on mute.

Who needs those MSM talking heads when we have Cenk and Krewe.

yea Im doing the same thing (none / 0)
lol  I'm doing the same thing. I have my tv on CNN on mute so I can read what they are saying and the lions share of my attention is on TYT coverage. Im so used to their style it makes it more fun to watch than tv network coverage.

Oh dude (none / 0)
it's like old home week having Ben and Michael there. I'm working at home tonight and I've got this going on the second computer. Wonderful to hear the guys back together!! I was watching MSNBC out of the corner of my eye (I always enjoy KO), but I just turned it off and I'm listening to the Turks now. f**king awesome, thanks for doing this, guys.

Hey where's Jill? Just asking...

Oh, and about the DIGGS... (none / 0)
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit I'm unfamiliar with DIGG. I've been hearing about it for a long time, but never checked it out. What's the story? How do I help the Turks with it?

Hey, I can't know about everything...

by cosmic on 02/05/2008 08:39:26 PM EST

Me too (none / 0)
I'm old and out of touch.  But I want to help.  This show has been incredible.  All the interviews with people that I CARE about their opinion.

I have to create a digg account to vote?

Yes, I'm a lazy butt; but why should I have to do this to help?

Shame on you! :) (none / 0)
Seriously, it takes 2 minutes to create a Digg account, and it's FREE.  Plus, once you get it over with (like sex in a loveless marriage) you don't have to do it again.

PS---I donated to BraveNewFilms.  Not much, but I gave what I could.  I'm not sure if TYT gets some of the cut when people donate on special event nights?  If you want to donate, click the red I AM AWESOME link under the streaming video at BNF.org.  Or maybe just click that link I posted.

what Dig is (none / 0)
Its a website started by Kevin Rose  he used to be the dark tipper on the show the Screen Savers.

All it is basically is a place where people submit articles and websites they like. The more people that have the article or website on their lists the more popular it is and eventually it will move to the front page of the site. Its very popular and it helps TYT because allot of new people will see TYT listed and check it out.

Its easy to use . You have to sign up at first but its free and simple.

This is the best coverage anywhere!

Don't mean to hog the thread, but... (none / 0)
I've just got to chime in again. I'm setting the window to be full screen on this machine while I work on the machine next to it....this is TOTALLY better than anything on television.

Eventually this format will rule the world, if we can just help it to survive. Hopefully my montly subscription to The Turks will help.

I wish it would make enough money so you could keep Ben and Michael and Wes Jr. full time!!! Damn.

Dudes!

So great to have Ben and Michael back on TOGETHER! Where did they go tonight? They should be on the whole time on election nights! This is where I go for coverage humor and smart talk. They should do this every f-ing night cause I would watch every f-ing night. TURKS ROCK! Michael Shure ROCKS! GO DEMS!

I love the Coverage (none / 0)
I absolutely love TYT live political coverage!  It is better than watching Super Bowl coverage!  I attended and caucused for Dennis Kucinich in Colorado in 2004 and there were only 3 people who showed up.  Tonight over 67 people for my precint showed up for the caucus. Amazing!  This year I caucused for Obama since my first and second choices dropped out (Kucinich and Edwards respectfully). TYT have reported Obama taking Colorado.  Yeah!

More time for banter between guests - noticeable improvement.

Thanks all y'all for going above and beyond for our enjoyment and edification. It's greatly appreciated.

I confess I was too wimpy to stay up for the whole thing, but while I lasted your coverage was red hot.  You guys rock!
