I guess in fairness the journalist did imply the Republicans have a barbaric stance on abortion, so he probably does have a bias. But he's not wrong


The interviewer explained it. He's giving him a position to argue against. But Shapiro can't comprehend that because his arguments rely on discrediting the person making the argument instead of countering the points made. Which doesn't work on the BBC.

This is a bunch of stupid "gotcha" shit. Ben seemed better honestly though. He stumbled a bit, but this is stupid

These are "adults". I do find it funny Ben has a list of 'stupid things I've said' on his website. I can appreciate that

To people saying "gotcha questions":

If you watch the full interview, they get to the topic of part of his book that says political discourse has become worse. He is questioned on his previous statements because the interviewer is saying Ben contributed to that decline! How can you complain when you poured fuel on the fire?

Yeah interviewer called him out on blatant hypocrisy. All Ben had to do was to say he's changed his viewpoint over time or that's why he wrote the book. If he twisted it and said that despite his old tweets, he chose to eventually write the book to advise against anger, his own aggression and anger included, this would've been a reasonable conversation.

He got tested hard and failed hard

When I first heard the phrase Jew In Name Only, I legit thought that was some type of anti semetic slur. But then I was surprised that it wasn't

There's a reason why the horseshoe theory exists. People who play the mentally tough guy narrative will eventually run into something or someone that offends them and turn into the very thing they "claim" they are against.

Don't be surprised if his fans try to defend him with some nonsensical excuse. Such is the point with that post with the picture above ^.

None. The interviewer was being intentionally obtuse, having a clear bias, twisting ben's words and bringing up statements from 8 years ago while, Ben consistently acknowledged his statements, realized the interviewer had a clear agenda to twist the facts and he just ended the interview.

Idk what video 90% of the people that commented watched (probably none of it)

The interviewer is a conservative. He was merely asking a question to have a discussion.

The fact that you titled the video "Ben Storms out of BBC interview", when he simply says he's done and continues to sit on his char as the video cuts out, shows your level of honesty and bias.
