They always give the game away with the BBC stuff. Smarter right wingers would be increasingly talking about its credibility even as it gets more and more nakedly right-wing. Instead they complain about allowing it to have non-white hosts and not sounding enough like Fox News (even though it increasingly does).
Remember that Ben Shapiro BBC interview where he called their arch conservative ghoul a leftist over some minor disagreement? Good times.
Yes, Andrew Neil. A man who has been on what you could call the proto-Trumpian right of British politics since the 80s. Who had an apartment in Trump tower. Who has been funded by many of thr same US billionaires that Shapiro gets funding from. Who has been the editor and force behind The Spectator, the insane but influential politics magazine that regularly runs articles like the famous 'In defence of the Luftwaffe' one.
Andrew Neil is basically what Shapiro should aspire to become, taking his ghoulish place in the epicenter of the mainstream, but he never will because he cries and pisses his pants at the suggestion of having to argue with anyone but (now mostly imaginary) college students. Ben Shapiro is not a very bright boy.
One of the funniest things I've ever seen
my favorite ben moment
it wasn't even something political, the guy was just like, "ben mate, your program's a bit shit."
It was over Neil basically saying "What do you say about the claim that your stance on abortion is medieval?"
