    • @STSGuitar16

      Would it not have been more productive for Neil to disclose that to Ben at some point instead of just expecting him to know that this guy, who no American has ever heard of, is also on the political right? Why continue this "debate" when there is very clearly a misunderstanding that could easily be absolved and lead to a more productive outcome? Otherwise, it absolutely comes off as a "gotcha" style, left wing hit job that Shapiro went into thinking it was going to be a debate. It truly was a total waste of time, and the fault there lies on Neil's shoulders, not Shapiro's.

    • @23ESChambers
      @23ESChambers Рік тому +10

      @@STSGuitar16 No, that would defeat the point Andrew made by not. If you’re going to be interviewed, rule 101 says you should inform yourself of who that person is. Ben didn’t, and Andrew exploited that. See, when Andrew replies to Ben and says: “if only you knew how ridiculous that sounded, you wouldn’t have said it…”, he’s exposing Ben for the fact he’s failed to conduct the proper research on his interviewer. Ben has admitted this himself, many times since. The irony in Ben’s accusation calling Andrew Neil quote, “on the left”, is that Andrew is in fact one of the most conservative (right wing) journalists in Britain. He’s also an _objective_ journalist; nobody gets a free pass, irrelevant of your political alignment-left or right. Andrew will always leave his own views aside and play devils’ advocate, challenging the interviewee to force them to qualify their beliefs and justify their claims. He does this to allow the audience to formulate their own opinion. It’s how journalism should be. In this interview, Andrew merely asked Ben a simple question, together with highlighting contradictions between what Ben says “now” and what he has previously written. He then raises these contradictions as questions. Ben definitely went out of his comfort zone in this, and it all started because he let his ego get the better of him. He blindly accepted an interview from one of the most intelligent journalists in the world; and a highly respected one. He is old school and a master in political journalism. Few politicians accept interviews from Andrew because he is known to be ruthless; employing a combination of facts, statistics and his ability to read and learn absolutely everything about the person he’s interviewing.
      Don’t get me wrong, I like Ben, he’s a smart guy. But don’t kid yourself, he’s nowhere near Andrew Neil’s level of intelligence-very few are. The man is an OG of British political journalism, and former editor of the times.

      Deferential interviews are pointless and the more you watch US TV you realise the right interviews the right and the left the left most of the time, it is the most efficient means of selling advertising and political ideology gets spread without confrontation, however it never allows one view to influence the other, US politics all revolves around money when you break it down to the very basics, influence is used by talking heads and partisan media to generate it for themselves and the idea that it is anything else is very thinly decorated as 'news'

      It's called propaganda for a reason. The reality is that 95% of America is middle class AND middle ground on most things because our culture emphasizes fixing specific issues with finesse not overreaching and sweeping reforms that mess up everything else to fix one issue. This is why you see this. They don't want to admit they are the 5% and pretend like they are loud when in reality is the same small percentage of people who took power and are now scared of losing it. For every story about a RINO we see four about a DINO because whichever institution has the power is the one that gets infiltrated by extremists and foreign meddlers.

      Starting a line of questioning with “The policies your side of the aisle are advocating for are going to take us back to the dark ages” and then framing women being held accountable for what some consider killing a baby as “barbaric” IS injecting bias though. The very framing of the questioning is dishonest, rather than approaching it in a proper way. This kind of presentation of viewpoints is done purposely to automatically demonize the person with the opposing viewpoint. While the legislation portion may be true (and I’m not even saying I agree with it) the “why” is misdirected and seeks to apply negative motives to those who disagree with you.

    I think that some people have a problem with "political content" because they come to your channel or youtube in general for an escape from politics and all the BS and depression that comes with it.
    EDIT:
    To those that have and are going to tell me to just not watch the videos with political content if that's not what I want to watch. Firstly, thanks. I hadn't thought of that. I can't believe that I've been torturing myself by watching every video featuring political content that Alex has posted.
    Secondly, I was just giving an alternate reason as to why some people may be disliking Alex posting this type of content. I don't care if he posts political content. I don't watch it if it's dealing with a political subject/person that I have no interest in or dislike. Just like I haven't watched every metal reaction Alex has done. If it's a band I have heard before and don't like, I don't watch the reaction. But if it's a band I like or a band I've never heard before but want to give a chance, I do watch it.

I think it's obvious this didn't go all that well for him and to say otherwise would make him look like he was in denial or just plain dumb. He kind of had to acknowledge this L if he wants to be taken serious as a debate partner moving forward.

Around that time in America, cancel culture ran rampant with the most popular form of cancelling someone was to dredge old tweets and get them on that. I think Ben assumed that's what was happening but I think the situation was more mirrored than clear. In the context of the interview, Neil pulling old tweets was to procure if Ben either still believed in what he said or how and why he changed his mind and to provide context on the greater topic which was his book and the motivations behind writing it by delving into the author's philosophies. So the way it looked to me was a case of correlation not being causation.

      Now, on a different note, he doesn't have a logical stance on any of his points. No one does. They're philosophical stances. And they're only logical to people who share the same philosophy. But that's not logic. Logic has no existence in philosophical arguments. Because you cannot definitively prove someone's philosophy as correct.
      Now, that's not me saying the other side is more logical. I am the exact opposite of Ben Shapiro. Hell, we are polar opposites. But my views aren't any more logical than his. Because neither are based in logic, they're based in philosophy, which provides the illusion of logic. He lost a debate, it's not the end of the world and it's not the end of him. Chill out.

The BBC guy did suggest that Ben's abortion policy would be a return to the dark ages. Remember it's not just what you say but how you say it. Yes, Ben got angry and kept revisiting the question when the correct thing for him to do was to just ignore it unless the BBC guy clarified his question more. Often when Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson go to interviews to promote a book, the interviewer will go off on a tangent rather than discuss the book. There is a famous clip of Robert Downey Jr. walking out of an interview that was supposed to be to promote a new movie but the first question the interviewer asked was about politics, he just unclipped his mike and walked out.

    Framing of the question as 'your side is barbaric and from the dark ages' ABSOLUTLEY matters. Sure, in terms of high logic is the idea good or bad, it may not be relevant, but that is not the level at which real political and cultural discourse takes place because real people are subject to biases and fallacies and emotion. Ben was absolutely right to call this reporter out on the absurdly partisan framing of that question, which was wholly inappropriate. That is the only appropriate way in which you can respond to a heavily framed question. Any other answer buys into the false premise of the frame. It isn't Ben getting "triggered," it's Ben appropriately pointing out that it's a leading, framed question that isn't appropriate from a self-titled unbiased reporter. Maybe he could have held his emotions better in check and reacted better, but I have never really seen this as a loss for Ben, I thought both sides came out looking pretty ridiculous.

    In all fairness, Ben Shapiro immediately admitted on Twitter that he made a mess of this and publically apologised to Andrew Neil. His mistake, in his words, was lack of preparation, and I've noticed in general that he isn't particularly clued up on things outside the USA or Israel, so presumably that includes the British media landscape. Anyone who's seen Andrew Neil before would be in no doubt that they'd get a challenging interview and heaven help them if they wern't ready for it. On the flip side, I do think Andrew Neil went a bit far in repeatedly talking over Ben trying to point out that he has, on his website, a long list of things that he's said in the past that he's since retracted/apologised for (he's been doing this since college, so there was a fair bit of young-and-dumb in his early years). I think that if he'd been allowed to make that point, it would have been better and given the viewers a better understanding of his character.

    I feel that Ben Shapiro is very intelligent but like all of us he does have his own opinions. I do not always agree with them but I do give him the respect of listening to his views and try to understand why he sees things the way he does. The one thing I do not like about him is the fact that he thinks he is always right and it forces him to come back and make statements about what he was wrong about. This is both good and bad because for someone as intelligent as him he has made some blunders that he could have avoided if he kept a more calm and slower conversation rather than just blurting out answers. Sometimes it is better to stop and think before you speak no matter how intelligent you are. I may be a little weird or just like punishment but I do listen to his videos even if I know I will not agree with him. It allows me to get a point of view from someone I know is intelligent and has usually thought through a topic before he makes his opinion. One never knows when they will learn something new from someone they don't agree with. It is how we grow and understand different people.
