Neil, who is actually the chairman of the right-leaning U.K. publication The Spectator, shrugged off the remark: Mr. Shapiro, if you only knew how ridiculous that statement is you wouldnt have said it.

xD

i actually HAD some respect for Ben, not anymore.

Ben seems to clearly not have ever dealt with an actual journalist asking questions and took it as Andrew's personal opinions or "attacks"

Also accused him of being a dirty left wing liberal, despite him being a well known "right wing" person here in the UK.

The more I watch of the interview on BBC, the more hilarious it gets.

It's always great to see a journalist pull no punches and go for the throat as whoever they are interviewing drowns.

i do not disagree with this

but american journalists allows people like this to proliferate because they do not ask hard hitting questions and are very soft when it comes to interogating

when i see US journalists asking questions after a trump press conference, it's v poor quality. they allow him to lie and manipulate without pressing

Ben: it seems you just want to use my fame to make a quick buck on the BBC

Interviewer: Im afraid there arent many bucks to be made on the BBC Mr. Shapiro

Yeah, it is quite astounding how so few call their politicians out in America. Here they go after them with sheer glee

I actually chuckled at that part

Another highlight is when he refused to specifically answer questions about the abortion laws and instead attack the motivation behind the interviewer

It's amazing to me that people really think answering questions with more questions is a good debate strategy

Freshman level rhetoric classes teach you specifically not to do this

I'm not really sure this is all *that* hard hitting tbh, moreso than he expected probably sure.

The BBC will still go and let Nigel farage uncritically have a platform on question time or interview identitarian people in the interest of 'balance'.

The BBC having to allow certain people on in the name of balance does kinda suck, yes. They could at least call their bullshit out or have someone opposing their "point of view"

And yes, this was pretty soft for Neil honestly. Pretty sure he could have gone in far harder, but was pretty clear from the get go he didn't need to.

It's because this style of "debate" has only been normalized and became mainstream recently so people still struggle with how to respond against it. I mean shit, Trump won an election using that method and the entire Conservative movement just recently embraced it.

But the fact remains that the best thing you can do to immediately shut it down is what this guy did to Benny here, don't let him reframe the question and stick to your initial position. Ignore the whataboutism and attempts to change the question, and they'll eventually get exposed as being the emperor who is wearing no clothes.

And these are the same people insisting that the democrats have gone too far left they're unrecognizable. The US political system is an anomaly and the republican party is an aberration

good on the journalism to stand his ground and not let the questions be rephrased. even if i prefer podcast style interviews myself where two individuals are taking the time to have long, serious, civil discussion, get to know each other a bit, and connect on a human to human level, Shapiro really fumbled here and the meltdown is pretty sad. even if he got offended and thought he was just getting talking points thrown at him to rile him up or something, if he just stood his own ground and answered the questions it could've turned out a lot better and illustrated his ability to remain level headed and debate intelligently rather than just come off as foolish and discredit himself.

Ben's not wrong here. They're not discussing his book or his current positions. This guy is just pummeling him with bad old tweets like Ben's a Hollywood director.

There was nothing objective about this dude's interviewing.

He's prolly too used to debating to compose himself for an interview. He obviously has a format he's skilled in, this is far from it and you can see his frustration after realizing Neil ain't having it.

Doesn't help this manlet pulled his libcard early.
