(9,730 posts)David Joshua Rubin is an American political commentator, comedian, and talk show host. He is the creator and host of the political talk show The Rubin Report, formerly part of Ora TV and The Young Turks Network. Wikipedia
Anahit Misak "Ana" Kasparian, is an American political pundit, university lecturer and writer. She is best known for co-hosting and producing the online news show The Young Turks. Wikipedia
"Many readers will be aware of Dave Rubin, the newest self-made YouTube celebrity on the libertarian right in the United States of America. Broadcasting from his home, literally a studio in his garage, he publishes almost weekly interviews on the Google platform with largely conservative and usually controversial figures from the US and the United Kingdom. These include hard-right advocates like Ben Shapiro and publicity-seeking trolls like Milo Yiannopoulos, giving the videos something of a gonzo feel at times.
"However, many people will be unaware of Dave Rubins brief tenure with The Young Turks, the liberal YouTube-based media company, founded by Cenk Uygur. The former standup comedian appeared on several TYT shows before leaving under something of a cloud, the exact circumstances of which continue to be contested by both sides. Now, after many years of silence, and with Rubins star rising, former colleague Ana Kasparian has ripped into her internet rival, in a very bitter and very personal diatribe. Though, in fairness, her criticisms of the New Yorkers poor political knowledge and frequent flirtations with the alt-right are well-founded, even if his motivations are possibly not as mercenary as she claims."

As to why we should care, I have no idea. I really do like this description, though: "the newest self-made YouTube celebrity on the libertarian right." Heaven knows we don't have enough of them!

(25,544 posts)I used to watch The Young Turks all the time but in 2015 they lost their minds with ignorant spiteful stupid mindless anti-American hate.

(1,180 posts)Not only is she a host/commentator on The Young Turks, but a Journalism instructor at Cal State Northridge. Ana and The Young Turks didnt promote an anti-Hillary propaganda campaign, but were honest left-wing observers of the 2016 election. The Young Turks are working with Justice Democrats and Wolf-Pak to try and overturn Citizens United and get money out of politics.
