About this movie

The Young Turks, one of the most popular online news shows in the world, has amassed a YouTube network of over 2.4 million subscribers and 2 billion views. But that wasn't always the case.
MAD AS HELL documents the tumultuous, at times hilarious and altogether astonishing trajectory of Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks' main host and founder, as he traverses from unknown Public Access TV host to internet sensation by way of YouTube. When he ventures into national television by landing the 6 PM time slot on MSNBC, Cenk's uncensored brand of journalism is compromised as he becomes a thorn in the side of traditional news media; his unwavering dedication to speaking the truth puts him at the very nexus of the battle between new and old media, and makes MAD AS HELL not only entertaining, but incredibly timely as well.

I love the young turks. been a fan for years. The film is good and gives some great insight into cenk, but it's nothing very spectacular... But maybe that's the point. To just show a normal dude who wanted to be big in news commentary, and how he got there. I think Ana probably has a more entertaining story.

This isn't just about Cenk Uygur, but the ideas that all of the Young Turks have and what America needs. He is true by saying Television Media is controlled by too many factors that mean us as the public get false information. That the politicians are corrupt. Even in the UK we have the same thing. This is a perfect documentary for people who follow TYT, but don't know their back story. For those you want to know about who they are listening too and why they should keep listening to them rather than other media outlets. The struggles they went through shows how the media is controlled and how we shouldn't take it as much as they didn't. Now as purely a documentary it's still pretty good. The music works well, the interviews are cut up perfectly. I think it's worth a rental purchase at least if you're into documentaries. Honestly for the price and what you're getting to see compared to other shows why the hell not? And to add another point wouldn't you stand to up among those who fight for the same things as you? If that's the true and justice than you're in the right place.

Narcissistic douche who obscures the facts on many issues. The interview with Karen Straughman, he blows his top and tells her to go male her a sandwich. He's also a Armenian genocide denier, hence the name young Turks (look it up).
