I agree that the interview is awful, but consider what an interview with an advocate of social justice and equality would be like if it were given by one of many popular alt-right Youtubers.
There are some incredibly hot button emotional issues under the surface here. It's very hard for most people to talk about any of this without going nuts.
- psyc 9y agoRather, imagine if it were given by Tucker Carlson. I seriously doubt it would be quite like this. This is just totally unprofessional.
- Retra 9y agoIt is a professional journalist's job to do just that. Most people can't do heart transplants either, but that's not an argument to be made for protecting a negligent heart surgeon.
- Fricken 9y agoI saw the interview yesterday, and my first reaction was similar to most, I found it infuriating. After thinking about it, I'm glad she aligned herself with Peterson's most vitriolic critics, because it gave him a chance to address that vitriol head-on, and he did so successfully. Hopefully it served to draw some of those with polarized or ill-informed impressions of Peterson towards moderation. I'm skeptical the host was actually as vicious as she made herself to be, that may have simply been a role she adopted for the interview.
