Jimmy Dore was part of [[The Young Turks]] network on the show Aggressive Progressives from 2009 to 2019. He left after [[Cenk Uygur]] took millions in donations from [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]], a liberal millionaire who donated millions to [[Hillary Clinton]]'s campaign in 2016. Additionally, after taking $26 million from Katzenberg, Cenk busted the union effort at TYT despite identifying as "pro-worker" and "pro-union". Uygur also founded [[Justice Democrats]] with [[Kyle Kulinski]] in 2017, and after many of his candidates won in 2018, Cenk used TYT to dissipate and deflect criticism of them instead of holding them accountable for their [[opportunism]] and subsequent assimilation into the [[Democratic Party]]. | |||
Dore has been consistently anti-imperialist on his show and in interviews. He has featured such anti-imperialist voices on his show as [[Glenn Greenwald]], [[Max Blumenthal]] and [[Aaron Maté]] from [[The Grayzone]], [[Scott Ritter]], [[Chris Hedges]], [[Jackson Hinkle]], and [[Sabby Sabs]], as well as others from [[Revolutionary Blackout Network]]. Dore has been vocally critical of [[Wall Street]], the [[American Deep State]], [[NATO]], the [[World Economic Forum]], as well as food, pharmaceutical, tech, insurance, and industrial monopolies; he has been critical of the popular narratives of [[Russiagate]], the [[2018 Syrian Chemical Weapons Attacks]] in Douma, the [[Invasion of Iraq]] in 2003, and the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. | |||
