ironic, because he normally protests to be utterly anti snowflake and safe space and does in real life, as it were. A campaigner against no platforming, he no platforms the interviewer, lol.morepork wrote:What a fucking whiny little bitch. Utterly unprepared for an informed dialogue. A product of the snowflake safe place of social media. I detest these cunting pseudo intellectual spunk rags masquerading as authority by talking complete shit wearing a faux outrage mask. What manner of wooden dildo would take these human anal warts seriously?
Fair enough, I did enjoy that in the end. I’d love to see what lead up to that point, but winding up Ben Shapiro like that by any means is fine by me.twitchy wrote:Mikey Brown wrote:Jesus.

You really have to watch the video. Load it up when you get home.

Neil is an abysmal interviewer. He has a "set list" and cannot possibly deviate from it because he doesn't have the wit!
And to think, 15 years ago, I liked him!!! Jesus, I was a right cwnt.
Oh I know. When I was back in the UK last, I watched some Daily Politics or whatever it's called now, and he's simply an obnoxious twat.twitchy wrote:Stom wrote:Why is this interview getting any news? It's appalling!

If you think looks bad here..........
I would disagree. Shapiro isn't used to having to answer actual taxing questions. He isn't a smart man. He can't defend his copy and paste "opinions" from his book. He just bullies first year university students by talking over them. His whole shtick disintegrates under actual legitimate questioning. He is just all hot air like most of the alt right.Stom wrote:Oh I know.

But his interview skills are what's lacking here.
As a professional question asker, that's a brilliant interview. He did exactly the reverse of the thing that Shapiro accused him of in that he didn't just shout slogans at himand say "What's your answer". He put questions fairly and listened to answers and built on the answers (on the rare occasions they came) to bring clarity to the interviewee's position. Where no answer came he highlighted that there had been no answer and then moved on. When he was attacked he calmly and without anger deflected it. I really don't understand what you can be looking for in an interview if you think this was appalling. And I say that whilst agreeing that yes, by and large, Andrew Neil is a right cwnt. But he's a good interviewer who'll give you plenty of opportunity to answer but not necessarily give you the questions you want.Stom wrote:Why is this interview getting any news? It's appalling!

It's another market for them to generate money through their fuckwittery. They also get to pretend that the UK is a genuine cautionary tale of people "overrun" with Islam with assholes like Farage and Hopkins quite happy to take a fee to make up lies on Fox.morepork wrote:You seem to be a target for hateful young American idiots like this in the UK and Ireland. That idiot Candice Owens attempting to use Hitler a metaphor for good nationalism over there being a recent example. Every time they get put into an open field in the sunlight away from home they seem to get horribly exposed for being pretty uninformed and incredibly poorly prepared. They wouldn't exist if it weren't for the internet, and by fuck they are very bad at what they do.
Smol Ben is there to provide a respectable (relatively speaking) face to fash scum, and he has absolutely been prominent in that scene. And unlike, say, Baked Alaska, he's a true believer, rather than one of the grifters that latch on to that scene like a parasite.Digby wrote:Never heard from Shapiro before, don't really see any need to listen to him further either. Not a great interview, but in this instance that's not the man in the wig, and rather it's how the producers on so many shows set up interviews with their research
Funny... it's exactly how the Mafia would react too.morepork wrote:Fuckin' squeaky little cunt...
