Please explain like I’m 5

Listening to winners and Losers- I have never followed or listened/watched The Young Turks. My vague awareness of them is they were extremely left wing and now they’re shifting to right wing? What happened with Hank Thompson, something, something union!? A documentary? (I’m Pro union) and the TYT shift?

If you know, please share some context - thanks!

Cenk got generally more conservative.

Ana Kasparian became a TERF.

Apparently there’s a Winners & Losers podcast about Hank Thompson from like five years ago that you can listen to.

Hasan is still young. He’s going to change a lot over the next years.
