It's not taking the opposition position.
A journalist's job is to ask questions that ordinary people don't have the opportunity to do and convey the replies in an honest and impartial manner.
Some of those ordinary people might have opposition views which is why it's the journalists' job to play devil's advocate.
hahahahahaha good one. It is rare that this happens, especially when the reporter is on the left.
So one of the few times Shapiro doesn't follow through is important. But you wont speak out about the plethora of times the childish left has tried to shut him down? lol The left is an absolute disgrace. They rarely care about the truth.
Nope.
I take neither side in this debate.
I just thought it was an interesting interview and Shapiro's reaction to it also deserved wider debate.
230-odd replies later seemed to indicate I was right.

Because it had nothing to do with policy and you don't like it when policy is exposed because that would prove the big government policies you back are known failures.

It exposes the hypocrites who make a big deal about ONE Shapiro slip up yet they stay silent on the plethora of times the juvenile, hateful, left pulls a similar but much worse tactic. Thanks for exposing what we already knew. The left is full of childish hypocrites that avoid discussing policy. (not that the big government right is much better)

Butthurt much?
Shapiro's style is similar to RWNJ posting style here in C-D ... just blow by the facts and attack. Like your post here for instance.

But your absurd post IS void of facts, logic, reason, and intelligence while being hypocritical and you're a big government lefty. Thanks for proving my point.
Shapiro later admitted that his attack on Neil was misdirected, tweeting that “As I’m not familiar with him or his work, I misinterpreted his antagonism as political Leftism (he termed the pro-life position in America ‘barbaric’) – and that was apparently inaccurate. For that, I apologize.â€
Also, as quoted in the Guardian:

As I've written before I tend to ignore posters that dissect responses line by line.
Makes me think they're a little obsessive.
I call it the Cliff Clavin Syndrome.
Just imagine his voice and the white socks ...

He also says I back " big government policies " and am on the Left.
I've never once offered an opinion on " big government policies " on CD and am generally accused on here of being on the Right.
Rather like Mr Shapiro this poster is making false assumptions.
For those reasons and the Cliff Clavin Syndrome he suffers from are why I generally ignore posters who are a bit .... you know
