The top news and politics channel on YOUTUBE is the Young Turks. If you want the truth, unvarnished without MSNBC b.s. and FOX NEWS

If you were to think of the top news and politics channel on YouTube, you’d probably think it’s one of the big boys: CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox. You’d be wrong. According to OpenSlate, a company that provides metrics and rankings for YouTube channels, the highest ranking news and politics channel is The Young Turks.

“The Young Turks” is a political talk show from Cenk Uygur first airing on Sirius Satellite Radio in 2002. A little over a year ago, it moved to Current TV. Uygur has built a formidable YouTube presence with 385,000 subscribers and more than 800 million video views. Through its YouTube Channel, “The Young Turks” has been able to have a dialogue with its fans, creating a devoted fan base, something agencies pay close attention to.

    I'll have to look that up. Why would a bunch of young Turkish people give a frack about our politics. Hey...we gave them free reign to fight our friends, the Kurds.
