In this in-depth analysis, Pastor Ben breaks down the crisis facing progressive media through the lens of The Young Turks (TYT). Once a beacon of independent journalism, TYT has drifted into centralized control and dangerous ideological compromises.
This video unpacks the patterns of resource consolidation, charismatic leadership, and forced synthesis with authoritarian populism that threaten to undermine the progressive movement as a whole. But this isn’t just a critique—it’s a call to action.
Pastor Ben outlines a path forward, one rooted in decentralized communication, shared governance, and collective accountability. We must reclaim the Public Square—social media, digital spaces, and narrative framing—to resist disinformation and stand firm for justice, equity, and truth.
PART 1: 01:00 - How We Got Here
PART 2: 29:10:13 - HOW WE FIGHT BACK!

Join us in building a media ecosystem that reflects the values of transparency, accountability, and shared power.
