YouTube political commentators join National Economic Advisers in Reuters debate
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
On YouTube they go by
The Young Turk
and
How the World Works
, but this Tuesday Cenk Uyger and Lee Doran will be taking their political commentary beyond YouTube to a special forum on Reuters.com focused on fixing the global economy.
Reuters Editor-at-Large Chrystia Freeland will host the forum, which will feature a debate between
Laura Tyson
, former Chairman of President Bill Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisers, and
Glenn Hubbard
, who held that same position under President George W. Bush. Tyson is a candidate to replace Larry Summers as President Obama’s top economic advisor and also to head the new federal Office of Financial Information.
Afterward, Freeland will host a live video debate between the progressive Uyger and the conservative Doran. This won’t be the first time that Uyger and Doran, who each boast tens of thousands of subscribers on YouTube, have
faced off
: Each of them has a strong following on YouTube and a regular audience of comentators who take the debate over the future of our country very seriously. Within the context of the Reuters forum between Tyson and Hubbard, their discussion promises to be lively and full of controversy.
The Forum, entitled “Conflicting Visions: Fixing the Global Economy,” will be hosted on Reuters and YouTube. Check out

around midday Tuesday, when we’ll post the clip.
