If they don't it's a double standard.

So, yes they should ban the Young Turks.

NO, and this is from someone who really dislikes them. Chunk Ogre sucks, but he does not spread hate or fake news.

I haven't been following, have the Young Turks been spouting hateful conspiracy theories? I only saw bits and pieces of their show during the 2016 campaign and couldn't believe some of the anti-Hillary stuff, but it hardly seemed like Alex Jones territory.

They should ban Cenk Uygur for denying the Armenian genocide.

They shouldn't ban either, though TYT is even worse than infowars.

Agreed.

Important question: Did they cause somebody's life being threatened? Like Jones did with the Sandy Hook partents when he claimed the shooting was a hoax? The dude should not only be banned but indicted.

No, I think TYT is excerable and I can't believe I'm defending them, but a better analog to TYT on the Right is something like "Louder with Crowder", which has a bunch of stupid takes but isn't an out-and-out conspiracy channel.
