Cenk Uygur Leaves MSNBC: ‘Didn’t Want To Work In A Place That Didn’t Challenge Power’

video
» 239 comments

Former MSNBC host Cenk Uygur‘s departure from the network earlier today was fairly quiet for a close-to-primetime host, and the network made it clear it was his choice to leave. It didn’t take long for the newly liberated Uygur to address his fans, however, and explain what exactly he was doing with his career, turning down a different role at the network and much money. In the end, he explained, it boils down to this: Cenk Uygur is a tiger, and MSNBC tried to cage him.

“They offered, honestly, a lot of money,” Uygur explains in his message, where he also says the role would have been a smaller one– “contributor, etc.”– instead of the alternate program the MSNBC statement suggested. He then explained something an executive once told him when he began as host: “there are two audiences– the audience you’re trying to appeal to, the viewers, and management.” Management took him aside in April, he explains, and told him to “tone it down” because “people in Washington are concerned about your tone.” He did the exact opposite.

Uygur then launches into an extensive analysis of his ratings to prove that he was doing just fine, highlighting the fact that he was doing far better when he decided to do it “my style” than when he was more tame. He used a comment from a viewer to explain how he felt– “watching Cenk on The Young Turks is like watching a tiger in the wild; watching him on MSNBC is like watching a tiger in a cage.”

He concluded succinctly that “I didn’t want to work in a place that wouldn’t let me do my kind of show, that wasn’t interested in my kind of show, that didn’t wnat to challenge power.” Noting that he had been “railing against” a media “desperate to get access” and spoiled with perks, taking the job seemed to him a sort of personal corruption. The statement lasts about ten minutes, followed by a five-minute Q&A with The Young Turks crew that’s definitely worth a look– Uygur distances his experiences from the other MSNBC hosts, complimenting them each colorfully– noting what a “smart person” Rachel Maddow is, calling Ed Schultz a “bull,” and exclaiming, in a complimentary way, “Dylan Ratigan– I’m shocked that he’s still on air!”

Uygur’s goodbye to MSNBC below:

    He said he beat beat Fox in the 18-49 demo. Now if this was a entertainment program that would be good, but for a news program, advertisers care about the 25-54 demo which he lost consistently to Fox. 18-49 is meaningless.

    The Young Turks daily show gets a million hits a day, he has the most popular internet show in the entire world. Maybe you don’t understand so let me break it down for you. Cenk gets about as many viewers a day on his show as a show on Fox and his competition is the entire internet, Fox’s competition is 2 other cable news channels.

    Maybe Jane needs to get a clue.

    His show was awful. His critique’s were way too progressive and I lean liberal. His ratings stunk and I am sure MSNBC received negative feedback from viewers, which is who matters. This is why he was told tone it down, not because Obama was watching. His show was unwatchable. reason enough to cancel it.

    If this is truly what Cenk thinks of himself, I am embarrassed for him. He apparently has absolutely no sense of self awareness (much like Chris Matthews) if he can’t recognize that he has a great deal to learn about nearly everything he reported on and the job of host as well.
    The other day I said that Cenk Uygur at MSNBC is the Peter Principle in action. He advanced to a position beyond his abilities. If, in fact, he believes he knows everything he needs to know now, he is not even worth interviewing for a job.

  • NeverWrong

    msnbc needs to replace everyone except for Chris Jansing and Tamron Hall. The rest of the talking heads there are scum on top of a cesspool. The lineup on msnbc is just impossible to stomach more than a couple minutes worth of barfing. I can’t believe msnbc is still on the air.

    I did watch it.
    Even Cenk said he was only “guessing” who might be behind the complaints in Washington..

    “In April, he said, Mr. Griffin “called me into his office and said that he’d been talking to people in Washington, and that they did not like my tone.” He said he guessed Mr. Griffin was referring to White House officials, though he had no evidence for the assertion.”

    I don’t usually pay much attention to the guesses of disgrintled ex-employees.
    He also said he was lectured repeatedly about his TONE, not his content.
    He was also told to not be so hard on guests and have more republicans on.

    He was simply too extreme and he was an embarrassment to MSNBC and they are not going to sit around like Fox did with Beck for years.  Shape up or ship out.

    I wish MSNBC would reel-in or fire all it’s hosts, although Rachel isn’t that incendiary.
    She is just snarky and boring.

  • http://profiles.google.com/bentleg14 Jerry Jones

    Dude really??  Really??  Please go and watch his latest video, he speaks about being tough on Obama, not on guests or not having enough Republicans on.  He makes fun of “Obama fan-boys” and repeatedly complains how Obama isn’t progressive enough.  Sure they might have also been telling him to tone it down, but when you have an entire organization in MSNBC that actively supports the president, they certainly won’t stand for any dissension within the ranks.

    I said you and Staci shared the same brain, that brain seems to be a lot smaller than I previously thought.

    “Please go and watch his latest video, he speaks about being tough on Obama, not on guests or not having enough Republicans on.”

    You are wrong. Watch the video.
    He specifically said he was told to have on more Republicans and he thought that was strange. That’s not exactly a mandate that would come down from the White House.

    Waiting for your proof, chump.
    Until then you are only talking out your ass.

    First, 1 million hits a day is no where close to the actual number of hits Cenk gets on his YouTube or his website. He’s doing decent on the internet but nowhere near that great.

    Second, if the entire internet was doing political commentary then your point would have some validity but we all know that’s not true at all. If you want to bring the argument that Cenk’s competition is the internet you also have to say that Fox’s competition is every television channel. You can’t have it both ways.

    No you expect the MSNBC hosts to fall in line with The President. Of course he was unwatchable to you, I am sure you love everything the President has done up to this point and will continue to not hold him accountable so he can give the Republicans everything they want.
    The reason the Republican Presidental field looks like a bunch of escapees from the Clown College is because they don’t have to run anyone seriously, they already got their guy in place, plus they can demonize him and get their idiot base to believe he is a Socialist while the “liberal base”, continue to allow him to behave like George W. Bush. Congrats.

    Just because you say something is true doesn’t make it so. Okay lets say Fox’s competition is every channel on cable, that is fair. How many channels do you get 800 or so, and about 400 of them are not watchable, unless you are looking to by a sweater when a caribou pattern on them or a 3 in one ladder. There are a lot of music channels that play the latest from Manheim Steamroller or something, lots of Spanish channels and other foreign language channels, okay how many does that leave you.
    Do you have any idea how many websites there are on the internet? As of December 2010 according to Netcraft Web Server there were 266,848,493. That is a lot more competition.
    The Young Turks is the number 1 internet show on the entire internet. Fox News is the number 1 cable news channel on cable, not even the number one channel on cable, just news channel on cable.

    Oh yeah here is the link for the million hits a day the Young Turks get. Half a billion total views and just made a million dollars in total revenue, not bad for a You Tube channel no one watches, huh?

    Don’t take his word on the ratings. He only broke 200k once and rarely was above 150. Some nights he didn’t even break 100K (to be fair, that could have been a fill-in night). TV Newser has all of the ratings every day.

    That is 500 million views since December 2005 (straight from his YouTube page). Also he has a total of 8,926 videos, that averages out to about 60,000 views a video. and since he has been on YouTube for about 2000 days (about 4-5 videos a day) or so that would roughly average out to 250,000 hits a day.

    Again internet wise he isn’t doing bad, but far from the 1 million hits a day you are saying. Also the article said nothing about 1 million hits a day.

  • SNAPTIE

    There is no ratings of 18-39 as Chunk claims.He never topped 650,000 total viewers to Fox 2 million plus.He was gloating that Beck was fired,but Chunk didn’t get four months notice when he was fired as Beck did.

    LOL! Your comparing apples to bananas. Your comparing the number of websites to ‘internet shows’??? How many ‘internet shows’ are there that they are claiming the #1 spot? Who is their competition for ‘internet shows’? Number of ‘websites’ is irrelevant.

    It’s difficult to pin down the real reach and audience. Youtube stats don’t paint a proper picture. For example…’Subscribers’. How many of those people who have clicked the ‘subscribe’ button on their Youtube channel actually still visit the site? I have ‘subscribed’ to Youtube channels that I haven’t visited in over a year. I am still listed as ‘subscribed’.

    The only ‘real’ numbers I see come from Alexa:

    Youtube.com/user/TheYoungTurks

    Global Traffic Rank: 58,950
    U.S. Traffic Rank: 22,396

    Global Traffic Rank: 68,895
    U.S. Traffic Rank: 28,290

    Compare that to…say……GBTV, that has been running for a couple of months:

    U.S. Traffic Rank: 2,745

    theyoungturks.com

    Compared to a real patriot, Glenn, instead of the young haters:

    … which hasn’t really launched yet. Also, I get  media newsletters and I’m guessing that you don’t, there in the trailer park, so I will HELP you: Beck is selling your e-mail addresses to advertisers. As for his radio show, it’s free to radio stations, in barter. Here is an article, verbatim:
    ~~~~

    Glenn Beck offers his 400+ affiliates an email boost.

    Excerpts from a “Dear Affiliate” letter – “As many of you know, the Glenn Beck Program has the most robust online infrastructure of any national radio program in America. Now we’d like to put that infrastructure to work for you. The Glenn Beck Program has access to over 1.2 million email addresses of listeners across the country, and that list is growing every day. While many of the people on this list are existing listeners to your station, the list also represents Glenn Beck fans that have found us in other ways, either via TV, books or other digital marketing that we do each day. In addition, Glenn Beck has over 2 million fans on Facebook. Today, we’re announcing a unique program to use those listener connections to drive tune-in to your radio station. If you choose, up to 4 times per year, we will email our list of listeners in the geography surrounding your radio station with a customized email, promoting that Glenn is available on your station, the time, etc. We can even include other local information, such as upcoming station events, etc. In addition, we will post a message to all of Glenn’s Facebook fans in the area of your station.” What’s the catch? There isn’t one – “The program is 100% free.” Interesting to see what other syndicated shows might begin doing, to support local affiliates.

    From reading this and watching the youtube clips he did. This conferms what I’ve been saying all along. That Phil Grifen has no gut’s. For him to cave because of someone in DC didn’t like Cenk’s tone. That and the out of date thinking at NBC news is why MSNBC will never beat Fox on Fox’s worst day. It’s also why a show like Morning Joe is still the air even when it’s tanking in the ratings. As long as mangment like you to hell with rest of us.

    It’s also why half of NBC news is walking out on them.

    What make’s them think Al Sharptin is going to do any better? If MSNBC give’s him a show… It would be like when CNN gave Spitzer a show because of his name.

    The Republican Party?     Whatcha talking about Willis?     You better listen with your ears next time and stop looking with them.  J. Carney, White House spokesperson, addressed Cenk’s comments… not a Republican.   Besides, the real story is that MSNBC wants Al Sharpton in the spot and had to make room for him.     Cenk didn’t want to play second fiddle, and is playing his “departure” from MSNBC for all it’s worth to build publicity for his youtube venture.     I am not a fan of neither… but I wish him well!

    THere was a method to yesterday’s Pat Buchanan “Boy” comments,,, Pat Buchanan is a racist who knew he could say that,,,and that’s why he did it.   Scarborough not only had his back but had him on his show first thing this AM,,,,, and not only rewarded him with that spot, and a phony apology,, but welcomed the return of Mark Halpering who called the President a “Richard”. 

    One More time,,,,Scarborough runs MSNBC,,,,,—- Scarborough’s only goal is to put a Republican back in the WHite house,,,,, and how better than to pretend he is the only Moderate on a Liberal Station,,,,scared to death to be called bias or Liberal.
