[@lacdirk]

That's because Walker actually stops talking when he's done saying what he wanted to say. Most politicians will not only take forever to say what they want to say, but they intentionally aim to fill airtime with their best soundbites. They won't shut up. Also, Walker isn't there to create a false narrative. Many interviewees will just blatantly lie in support of their position, and if they are not challenged immediately, their lies can take on a life of their own.

Good comedy and satire has to start plausible, then show ridiculous consequences of ideas pushed to their limits. On average successful comedians appear to be far more intelligent and astute than politicians, yet they would have to hide that in politics as many voters dislike such brightness as it's uncomfortable being faced with your limitations. Certain politicians appear to be dullards without any intelligence or mastery of argument or erudition, but checking up you discover firsts from elite select universities.

@@hybridh9702 That's no real revelation to me. Political correctness "gone mad" for example; the extremist lefts' persistent attempts at pushing for your language to be clipped, reduced and confined for fear of causing offence, irrespective of intent or context... It's toxic. It erodes objectivity. It shuts down debate. It's built on the dumbest of assumptions that if you control peoples language you control their behaviour and how they truly feel. It turns my stomach. Perhaps to be more accurate I should have said the integrity of freedom of speech should be restored at all costs. - As long as enough of us are calling out the bullshit as we see it, the principle survives... if people care enough.

I'm curious why you think the law should protect everyone's choice to lie under oath in court, because I can't imagine how that would not quickly become somewhat problematic for literally everyone. Or did you mean 'almost' no exceptions?

[@Stu047]

​@@anonimushbosh ...to protect everyone's choice to lie under oath in a court? - I don't quite follow how the specific scenario you have offered even relates to freedom of speech. Is that what you think freedom of speech does? - Protect a person's decision to lie under oath? How does freedom of speech protect liars exactly? How would not having freedom of speech ensure that a liar tells the truth? What specific mechanism of principle or means could possibly be employed to ensure that a habitually dishonest person wouldn't lie because he's under oath? Liars are liars, be it to you, me, their family, the law, a court, their god, your god... An oath to the truth means absolutely nothing to a liar. The dishonest aren't liars because they have ready access to freedom of speech; they're liars because they are dishonest! And yes, I maintain that freedom of speech should be protected for all regardless of their social background, their ethnicity, their beliefs, their ethics, their politics, their morality, their education and even their ignorance. Even for a liar.

[@anonimushbosh]

@@Stu047 I'm talking about extrapolation, obviously. My scenario is an example of some of the pitfalls of encouraging everyone to say or not say anything they choose. When you say freedom of speech you're thinking about opinions but if there was literally no restriction it would, by definition, relate to anything a person could write down or utter. What about libel? Would it be ok if the BBC were legally permitted to brand you a paedophile on the whim of a journalist you pissed off in the KZbin comments section?

[@curmudgeon1933]

It's a shame that all interviews aren't conducted in this format. The mainstream news recently has become so cluttered with extraneous static, designed to hide the lack of substance. All the cable channels have adopted the style of 'panels' where multiple 'experts', with polarised viewpoints, shout over each other to get their 5 second sound-bite on the record, while the screen is covered with crawling chyrons screaming the 'latest breaking news' and the current stock market prices. This all helps to disguise the fact that MSM is less and less to do with journalism and transfer of information, and more to do with anaesthetising the viewing public and selling product.

Why does it say unexpected turn. There's no unexpected turn.

[@Generalscorpio]

Mostly clickbait, probably based on the minor technical problems at the start, possibly an allusion to the quality of the interview.

[@steeltrap3800]

I thought the unexpected turn was that it was a very competent interview, not trying to push an agenda nor trying for "gotcha" moments, engaging with the guest and letting them speak without interruption. Surprised me, lol. Does anyone watch a mainstream media interview, such as BBC or similar, and expect it to be "genuine journalism" as this was, or do they expect (and usually get) Cathy Newman style garbage?

It's the shiny face issue

I fell for it 😏 Still, was a good interview.

I'm a tory, centre right and still find him absolutely brilliant.

[@stevefrompolaca2403]

left/right is just polarising nonsense, there is only good v bad. Some right wing values are great as are some left wing. I have both a left arm and a right arm. Some things are good for me, they enrich my life, some are bad and they diminish my life. Duality is a bitch ;)

[@RaceBeacon]

@@stevefrompolaca2403 true. I am probably more culturally right but economically left. If you are too arrogant to accept any other opinions like some do just because it is considered 'right' or 'left' is childish.

Fantastic interview. Never seen her before, but will keep my eye out from now on.

[@johncarlisle2755]

He pronounced 'combative' in a different way to me. That's it...I am never going to listen to him ever again

Excellent Interview. I so would like to see more of the this style of honestly.

Love this guy,non biased,funny guy.This must be the first interviewer on CNN with intelligence.

[@GaveitagoRC]

I love Tom Walker/Jonathon Pie. Sharper that our politicians, more honest than the journalists and funnier than most comedians. You can't go wrong!

[@justadad6677]

Great interview of a man that certainly rose up to the challenge of fighting the political system. Democracy is our best system of ruling, but we need to have ways to hold our politicians accountable. They have the power, and they are selling it out to the highest bidder.

Wow...I just thought calling out Boris for what he clearly is was funny.You cock-knuckles (that’s right- COCK KNUCKLES) always have to go all “Democrats are (insert cry baby bullshit) 😭 😭” Jesus, you guys need to get thicker skin.

[@dijoyjoe]

@@boracay12 Open your eyes, Republicans/Fox deluding American people. What exactly could they sue CNN for, telling the truth? Why doesn't Nunes say why he was in Vienna, he has claimed expenses for it.

[@bimfred]

@In CogNito Aren't you being self-righteous by claiming you know better for not being self-righteous? Thought so. Piss off.

So, spot on I have subjected myself to the torture of reading the Daily Mail at least once a month for the last 40 odd years 🤣🤣

[@kennethjohnsen9005]

First time I have seen an interview done by CNN that is an actual interview, and not an attack or attempt on defamation.

[@deadwalking100]

Such a great interview, as mentioned below its a breath of fresh air when a journalist lets their interview speak. Shame took youtube 4 yeats to show me this clip. Bril comedian, scary that satire is so close to the truth. Thanks for posting.

[@halflucan]

She’s great! Seriously,

[@SmithsMobile]

Just a brilliant interview 10/10
