Has anyone see the very recent debate between Ben Shapiro and Ana Kasparian of the Young Turks?
According to his own subscribers (lol) Ben totally won. Thus far that I’ve watched (only about 20 min in) Ana has impressed me. She sounds like a dumb raging blonde on the Young Turks but here she is cordial and thoughtful. She is also making mini-concessions frequently, an effective debating tactic. Each concession has the effect of warming her to the audience who would see her as less close-minded than her opponent. That’s one tactic I noticed her using
Her concession about political news being essentially outrage merchants for $$ I found very true. However, both Young Turks and Daily Wire almost exclusively peddle righteous outrage every single fucking day. It’s how they get their clicks and I don’t see either of them stopping, not even for a day. So that concession is completely meaningless. Don’t identify the problem if you have no intention of fixing it, just makes you look like a hypocrite
Anyway, like I said I’m only 20 mins in, just what I overheard when shaving my head and showering the other day. I’ll finish it eventually
