    • TYT is shit. Don't waste your time.
      ********
    • TYT is for queers
      FOX is for closet homosexuals      LMFAO
    • lol @ the guy heckling himyuekit
    • TYT is as relevant as Paul WatsonGnash
    • What's so bad about them exactly? Seems like lots of right wingers hate them for no particular reason.yuekit
    • Granted it's not the deepest analysis you'll find anywhere, but at least they are bringing an anti-establishment viewpoint to the masses.yuekit
    • In no way should they be compared to fucking Infowars lol.yuekit
    • they're about as anti-establishment as a fig newton, and their analysis is just a shallow as watsons. one goes to neither for insight.Gnash
    • I dunno...watch the video. I thought their commentary was pretty reasonable. Paul Watson is on a show that talks about mass shootings being staged and sellsyuekit
    • boner pills. Not really the same thing.yuekit
    • I certainly can't defend watson.Gnash
    • anyone seems reasonable when you are in agreement with them. both have zero nuance and filter the world through a very fine ideological screenGnash
    • I mean of course everyone has a point of view. I don't think they are close to being extreme though, or even all that ideological. It's more like a vanillayuekit
    • anti-establishment leftism, not even going into real socialism or whatever. What I think is good is that they are willing to criticize not just Trump but theyuekit
    • Democratic party and entire political system as being corrupt. Which is not something you would ever hear on the corporate liberal networks.yuekit
    • I used to listen to TYT years ago (i've never watched an info wars vid) but I've scanned through the occasional PW vd...Gnash
    • TYT that I see now is as click-baity, skewed as PW is. Granted, the stew that TYT serves is certainly more palatable, but they are as one-dimensional.Gnash
    • I get what you're saying about the clickbaity aspect. About a year ago they had a lot of annoying hosts talking about pop culture stuff but it seems like theyyuekit
    • fired most of them and shifted back to focusing on more substantive issues. Overall I see the rise of these alternative news channels as a positive thing whenyuekit
    • you consider how terrible mainstream American TV news is.yuekit
    • true that. but each time I've tried watching them again (of late) I can't get 2 minutes in without being offered an outrageously hyperbolic opinion as fact.Gnash
    • and yes, alternative news channels are a positive, but so hit-and-miss. I try and stick with AP for news and long-format talk for opinionGnash
