十年盤點 | 因YouTube而火的紅人們
????堅克?尤格 ????秉持進(jìn)步主義信念的政治評論員堅克?尤格是《少壯派》(The Young Turks)欄目的主持人。這一欄目自稱是“全球最大的在線新聞秀”。它以TYT的簡稱為人所知,于2002年在天狼星衛(wèi)星廣播推出,但YouTube為它提供了一個積聚人氣的平臺。到2014年7月,該欄目在YouTube的點擊數(shù)已經(jīng)超過20億次。 ????就在他爆紅的3年前,主持人基思?歐爾柏曼的突然離職使得MSNBC有線電視網(wǎng)不得不匆忙地重新安排各檔節(jié)目的播出時間。尤格在YouTube的巨大人氣給該公司留下了深刻印象,隨即邀請他邀請?zhí)钛a(bǔ)艾德?舒爾茨的節(jié)目時段。這種情形只持續(xù)了6個月,他的時間段隨后被派給了阿爾?夏普頓牧師,尤格繼續(xù)在Current TV電視臺主持了“少壯派”兩年時間。他也是許多政治談話節(jié)目的嘉賓,還是政治評論博客《每日科斯》、《赫芬頓郵報》和政治家網(wǎng)的供稿人。 |
????Cenk Uygur ????Progressive political commentator Cenk Uygur is the host of “The Young Turks,” which calls itself “the largest online news show in the world.” Known simply as “TYT” for short, it started in 2002 on Sirius Satellite Radio, but YouTube put it on the map and provided it with 2 billion views by the time July 2014 rolled around. ????Three years prior to that, the MSNBC network was impressed enough with Uygur’s YouTube popularity tooffer him a spot vacated by Ed Schultz when the departure of Keith Olbermann led to a frantic re-shuffling of time slots. The stint lasted only six months, and his slot was given to the Reverend Al Sharpton. From there he went on to host “The Young Turks with Cenk Uygur” on Current TV for two years. He is still a frequent guest on numerous political talk shows, and is a contributor to Daily Kos, The Huffington Post and Politico. |
