I can’t help but think of Mankiewicz as one of the Young Turks, he is just not in the same class as Osborne.

Sure Mankiewicz is not in the same class as Osborne, but lumping him up with The Young Turks, now that’s brutal. The Young Turks are vile cretins, with their useless leader Cenk Uygur.

It’s probably because his matzo bread is too dry.

Isn’t he one of them?

Hate is way too strong for how I feel about Mankiewics. I don’t hate him.

Still, he’s probably the next best thing to Osborne there is.

It’s pretty evident if you’ve ever seen him on TCM.

“Yes he is.” = Was my original response, when I thought you were referring to Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks. At that time, I had no idea that Ben Mankiewicz was actually connected to TYT. I just discovered this today.

I’ve seen Mankiewics on TCM numerous times, and he does a good job. He doesn’t have the same presence as Osborne did. I’m sure it’ll get better as time goes on.

I hate the Young Turks as much as the next guy, but I don’t think Mankiewics is a huge proponent of their bullshit. I guess he’s complicit, but he seems nice.

Alright, so I just found out that Ben Mankiewics does contribute to TYT, but only regarding Films & Sports. I still don’t lump Ben with Cenk and his main crew that deal with politics, social issue and other topical discussions. Yes, I agree, he does seem nice, just as long as he sticks to Films & Sports.

Did this Ben Mankiewics die or something?

No, he worked on the same network as Robert Osborne, who just died. The discussion then went off on a strange tangent. It’s crazy how it derailed and spun out of control.

On a sad note: Ron Bass, aka “The Outlaw” from WWF has died.

I wouldn’t describe it as derailed and spun out of control.

You can easily find videos of Mankiewics on TYT doing more than talking about Films & Sports. Look it up. He is one of them.

Yeah, more like “meandered in an annoyingly uninteresting way.”

Well, that’s news to me. I’ll have to check that out, further still.

Ok maybe so, but it possibly could’ve. Anyways, I know a little more about Ben M.

Maybe, but I think it needs to be remembered that normal conversation in the real world naturally goes from one subject to another.
