Why should someone who is anything but objective expect that out of others? He simply got back in return how he acts. He couldn't handle that.

They got the best of a political shill.

"I'm interested that you think there is a thought movement in the Republican Party"

"All the new policies, Green New Deal, $15 min wage, medicare for all are all coming from the left, and they're popular"

"The ideas that are popular on your side of politics would seem to take us back to the dark ages"

"New abortion laws which you are much in favour of are that a women that miscarries could get 30 years"

Just a few pearls of objective journalism in the first 4 minutes. His appalling capability as a journalist is revealed with the final quote above. He has relied on an opinion piece from the extreme left rag, Slate for that absurdity. A sentence with two easily verified errors (if he wanted to be accurate) stated as fact. What could explain this?

Well Andrew Neil certainly seemed good enough for The Daily Wire.
You know,the website founded by Ben Shapiro.
The Ben Shapiro who says he's never heard of Andrew Neil.
Here's The Daily Wire praising Andrew Neil's journalistic skill back in February.

The man is an out and out liar.

Shapiro basically took the old gasbag to school and exposed the ignorance of Neil's position while defending his own capably. An thoughtful honest independent minded conservative with integrity versus a pompous leftist partisan hack.
Neil was taken to the woodshed, LOL. Thanks for the thread giving Shapiro such a great PR performance. I wish some of the CNN toadies would dare having him on and get the same treatment.

If you think Neil is a leftist partisan hack you're deluded.
At the BBC he's considered almost as far right as the National Front.

Shapiro: “(It’s) a way for you to make a quick buck on BBC off the fact I’m popular and no one has ever heard of youâ€
Neil: “There aren’t many bucks to be made on the BBC unlike American broadcasting Mr Shapiroâ€

Damn! Snowflake Shapiro thought this was going to be a typical FOX NEWS interview filled with softball questions with no real research done.
I would love to see all the science that proves an unborn baby that has the standard proofs of life like heartbeat is not really alive.

Shapiro's 15 minutes are up. Just like the previous bloviating right winger that was supposed to be next conservative superstar Milo Yawnnopoulous. Anyone remember him?

Shapiro has been around 20 years or so. Had a column when he was a teenager. Your 15 minutes comment doesn't make any sense.

I'm surprised leftists hate Shapiro so much given he is NeverTrump plus he had a spat with Milo over Trump.

Ya think so ?
Shapiro himself has admitted Neil got the better of him and has apologised.
