If you’re not catching The Young Turks vlogs, you’re missing out.

The Young Turks is a liberal radio and Internet talk show airing on Sirius Satellite Radio. The name is an allusion to the Young Turk reform movement in the late Ottoman Empire (and the general term, derived from this usage, referring to new progressive movements within older organizations), playing on host Cenk Uygur’s Turkish origins. The Young Turks claims to be the first Internet TV news show. Video of the show is streamed daily on their website and available as a podcast. The show offers exclusive, Internet-only video content via their YouTube channel. The Young Turks offers a paid members-only Postgame Show, an uncensored, Internet-only wrap-up show.

I have to get my daily dose of this show and really enjoy the no BS approach to topics ranging from politics, celeb news, and general crazy occurences in America like this one. A pair of lesbian teachers, from Brooklyn, get caught by the janitor while making out naked in a classroom during assembly. You can’t make stuff like this up.

Internet Killed Television

I came across this vlog on YouTube over a month ago and really took a liking to these two. It’s the 365-day “reality show” vlog series on the lives of Charles Trippy and Alli Speed, a funny, sweet duo that you cannot help but like for some reason. I realise there are many vlogs like this one and probably looks like it’s scripted, with the banter and the chemistry, but they’re that in sync.

It’s just so refreshing to see something funny and sweet on the net nowadays, what with people trying so hard to be noticed that they resort to really awful attempts at it. My only hope is that they keep it real and not sell out to advertisers, as they have become quite popular.

This is my favourite out of the vids, the surprise proposal Charles did. Take a look.
