Cenk Uygur, the host of "The Young Turks," is defending his decision to have radio host Dennis Prager on his Thursday show.
When pressed about having Prager, Uygur stated that their program isn't afraid to have an alternative view which is what the traditional media does in his eyes.
"Because we're not afraid of right-wingers and we don't view media as an a**-kissing exercise, like traditional media does," Uygur tweeted.
"If you think afterward we didn't sufficiently challenge him, then rip us. But you assume we're not going to challenge him because you're used to soft media."
The episode with Pragar goes live at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday and Uygur didn't reveal what they'll discuss with the radio host, but he did state that the show "should be a dynamic conversation, to say the least!"
Whatever they discuss, there are plenty of ongoing situations in the country to debate, whether it's the immigration issue with governors facing backlash for political stunts to the upcoming midterm elections that are right around the corner.
