If there is merit to this (which I'm not sure there is), it's still hugely undone by the BBC guy's style and tone. He is not only attacking Shapiro; but his wording and phraseology are biased. Again, he accuses Shapiro of wanting to bring back the "dark ages." It's ridiculous. It's impossible for me to take a news anchor who operates like this (ie, in a non-objective fashion, and with a bunch of emotion) seriously. I do recall that Mishal Hussain used to do the same back in the early 2000s, and she was as equally ridiculous when she did it. (OTOH, she was pretty hot )
What emotion. Actually he was the only one in that interview that has his emotions under check. Unlike Ben. What is Ben’s new book called again ?
If you watched/listened to that interview, and can't see/perceive how the interviewer was all full of lefty-angsty heat and emotion, and non-logic.....I'm not sure what to say.
Yup. I agree. My concern is that I don’t want the current monster in the White House to be viewed as the new norm for the office.
Please provide some examples of “regressive liberals” stating they support the “Islamization of Europe.”
Watch it again he was attacking the policy, not Shapiro. He was also giving Shapiro an opportunity to offer a rebuttal to that position. If every time someone pushes back on your policies and you go into fight or flight mode (which he did both) you don't have a lot of confidence in your position. Think of it this way he was asking hard questions and then shutting up to let Shapiro answer the questions. He was giving him a platform to share why he thinks the way he does. Shapiro started to talk over him and interrupt him. He was a poor guest/communicator plain and simple. He wanted to turn the tables on the interviewer and make this a me vs you thing. What Shapiro didn't realize is that the person he was talking to was probably a little more right-wing than him. You could almost get a sense that the interviewer was frustrated with the fact that Shapiro was not able to back up his beliefs. Worse of all he was there to talk about a book that tells everyone else how to be better at discourse and Shapiro the writer is the absolute worst example
