Cathy Newman’s catastrophic interview with Jordan Peterson

Article here. Excerpt:

'In the magazine this week I have written a piece about the Canadian Professor Jordan Peterson. He has been in the UK over the last week to talk about his new book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. Among many other things – much more of which I go into in the piece – his visit showed up the UK’s broadcast media in a very bad light.

On Saturday morning, Peterson made an appearance on Radio 4’s Today programme. They gave him a hurried four minutes at the end of the show. They could have quizzed him on almost anything and got a point of view different from almost any other they had ever allowed their listeners to hear. Instead they decided to treat him in an alternately jocular and hostile manner. First: ‘Look at this whacky Canadian from out of town’. Then: ‘warning signs: heretic’. The Today programme wasted the opportunity.

But they scored a veritable home-run compared to the interview Cathy Newman did with him yesterday for Channel 4 News. The full half-hour interview is available online. If I was Channel 4 I would take it down. If I was Cathy Newman I would sue or seek a super-injunction. I don’t think I have ever witnessed an interview that is more catastrophic for the interviewer.'

... red pill moment? I wonder. Suppose she'll reconsider her status as a dedicated feminist? We can only hope.

I wonder how many times she used the phrase "so you're saying".

but worth it.

she got out classed. smart guy vs smart arsed feminist.
constantly tried to put words in his mouth.

'u said bla bla bla'.
'that's not what I said'.

good explain of fake 'wage gap'

'equality of outcome'. what's that they say about those who do the same thing over and over and over again, and each time expect a different outcome?
