Again, because too many boobs on this forum are not getting it. What happened here is that Andrew Neil took the position of the devil's advocate. It is an interview style that is very rarely employed and when someone does employ it they always state that this is the position that they are taking. Andrew Neil didn't do this and Ben Shapiro was not aware that this is what he does. He answered the questions pretty well but let himself become annoyed that the interviewer was taking such a leftwing point of view.
Stop it Chris Wallace does Devil’s Advocate every Sunday.

Shapiro got exposed. Just come clean on it and stop frontin’!

Now YOU sound like Ben Shapiro, and I’m not even interviewing you.

Bens’s disavowels are weak and half hearted. He retracts, then basically states the same crap more palatably to avoid criticism. Neil saw right thru that one too.

Nope most people outside of the USA are going to assume that many in America now live in a bubble where it is the norm to view opinions though the lens of an idiotic left and right paradigm(and they would be correct to a point). In addition civil discourse and manners are now dead in America.

They should assume it...because they’re right for the most part.

This is already the prevailing theme, Europeans have US television and news channels post their shows or big portions on the internet for free.


I will be honest, there are times when I watch the news here and after 30 min. or so realize I have heard nothing useful or insightful at all, regardless of channel. There are entire shows like, The Five, that serves no purpose at all and is more of a TMZ style cheerleading session for what ever the narrative is that day than a news show (There are analogues on the left as well, this show is just that bad).

The Five is a disaster area...a wasteland of nothingness where the hosts are consumed with Trump puffery, and their personal pulchritude (usually with the exception of the one frumpy liberal that’s invited to be beaten up).

No other nation worth its salt would put a show like that on a serious news network.

How do you know all this unless you've watched Fox all day yourself ?
Are you a sucker for punishment ?

We’re all guilty of a little self flagellation sometimes. It’s good for the soul.

I've never seen Trump supporters screaming. hitting, throwing things, harassing people in restaurants or rioting to keep someone from speaking.

No, Trump supporters just send out mail bombs and run people down with their cars.
