Here’s Why Leftist Politicians Don’t Like Hard Questions

1. Great video and thanks for posting. A quick Google search ( “Andrew Neil”, “Jeremy Corbyn”, and “interview”) show that newspapers are highlighting Corbyn’s refusal to apologize to British-Jewish voters. All the newspapers are saying the interview was a disaster for Corbyn.

   Britain still has a pluralistic media, where all information and opinion is disseminated. Here in Canada and the United States the left dominate the traditional media. As well, if the BBC’s Andrew Neil is accurate example, journalists are fair-minded and honest. Could anyone envision a CBC News reporter asking questions to Justin Trudeau like Mr. Neil? Or someone from CNN or ABC news asking Joe Biden or Elizabeth Warren such questions? Cansda’s and the U.S.’s media are profoundly corrupt. Not so much Britain’s. Media corruption makes huge differences in elections.

   1. “Britain still has a pluralistic media, where all information and opinion is disseminated….”

      Don’t get your hopes up guv! Neil is not a fair minded journalist by any stretch. It is just that even Neil was afraid that corbyn was tainting the brand with his hard core radical ideology. Corbyn’s manifesto openly calls for wealth confiscation, not likely to go over very well with your average virtue signalling boomer sitting in their 1.5 million pound house that corbyn wants.

      The BBC is a proud labour socialist supporting organisation, don’t ever let yourself think otherwise. The guardian is only good for toilet paper.

      1. Agreed.

         Btw, checking the respective web pages of CBC, CTV, Global and the Globe and Mail, not one has published a story on the Neil-Corbyn interview. The censorship in our country in rock solid. One has to rely on th blogs, like SDA, to hear about this.

         1. An omission is as good as a lie. No News is Fake News.

            1. Someone in Saskatchewan once said of CBC TV:
               If it’s not left
               It’s left out.

2. Thanks Robert. That was very painful to watch. Higher taxes, more government debt, more government programs, government buy-back of private industry to gain revenue by issuing more debt, we have no idea how we will pay for certain programs but that is not the point, total disdain for Jewish voters and “let me finish”…

3. duplicate- please delete

4. Amazing how Newsworthy it is when a media person actually asks a question and doesn’t accept the politically correct poll tested sound bite pablum spewed by a politician.

   Q: Why is Labor antisemitic?

   A: Blah, blah, blah. All peoples, we took actions, blah, blah, blah.
   —- (never once saying, “We will protect Jewish people,” and all minorities.). Almost like he really does hate Jews?

   Q: Why are you antisemitic?

   A: Blah, blah, blah. (Never once addressing the issue.)

   Q: Why are you antisemitic? Why are your party leaders antisemitic?

   A: More Pablum and poll tested, party approved talking points that avoid the actual issue.
   ———-

   How many times do you hear a reporter ask a question, receive a BS answer, nod knowingly, and completely ignore the obvious follow up question? They purposefully allow the lies and evasions to stand.

   Andrew Neil was exceptional as he asked the obvious follow up question, and kept asking it. He showed that the empty suit Jeremy Corbin had no answers, or at least answers he could share Because Corbin does hate Jews, and later Corbin could not answer how to pay for all the Free Sh*t Labor is promising.

   All reporters should be as prepared and persistent.

5. Imagine if any reporter went after PM Trudeau like this?

   1. rd: He or she would be tackled and then arrested. The tape would never be seen again, like the reporter.

6. Its a good thing we have the bought and paid for Unifor media here in Sunny Ways Canada, to only allow Liberal Party approved propaganda for the peoplekind.

7. Rhetorical question of the day: “Why do Trudeau and Scheer ban Rebel media from their events?”

   1. Cowardice.

   2. Neither party will tolerate real questions – only pablum from presstitutes from one of their controlled media sources. Neither the Liberal Party, nor the other liberal party that humorously calls itself the “Conservative Party”.

      Both are puppet parties controlled by the same people, with the same policies and moving toward the same ultimate goal. The disintegration of the remaining vestiges of national sovereignty.

      1. And Global Warmists refuse to debate anyone, anywhere, anytime. When ideas and policies don’t hold up to basic fundamental scrutiny … the only course of action is to hide, to deflect, to demonize.

8. “If a socialist understood economics he wouldn’t be a socialist”, Friedrich Hayek

   1. Hayek didn’t understand the rules of socialism.

      First and foremost: to be a socialist one must first be a hypocrite.
      Second: Do or say whatever it takes.

   2. Only true if the would-be socialist is good. The US founders thought that their system would only work for a just people. When the society slid too far away from being just and moral then the next revolution would be needed as tyranny. If the would-be socialist is a psychopath who views ruling others as good for them, then jumping in front of the parade to demand socialism (and becoming a leader of it) make perfect sense.

      This is the existential threat facing the US today. Innumerable attempts to impeach Trump not because he’s flagrantly breaking the laws of the country but because orange man bad, whilst the crimes of the Clintons, Bidens, Pelosi, and other self-enriching Democrats will never be investigated.

      If there is a presumed guilty class and a presumed not-guilty class, then society is broken beyond repair and must be reformed. Can it be done without another full revolution (or sundering of the country)? I hope not, but ask me again in 50 years.

9. “Pay with Government Bonds”, the rate of exchange ? One used lottery ticket per all the shares you have.

10. I approve of Comrade Corbyn.

    I hope he is the Labour leader for a good long time.

11. I don’t. True, the Neil-Corbyn interview is a serious setback for Labour, but he still could get in, in a minority coalition government.

    1. I don’t. True enough, the Neil-Corbyn interview is a serious setback for Labour, but Corbyn could still become prime minister through a minority government. He would get the support of the other smell parties, excluding the Brexit, UIP parties.

12. Neither did Ben Shapiro…..
    Andrew Neil is an equal opportunity interviewer: he’ll put you to the test no matter who you are or whether he agrees with you or not. People like Neil used to be more common and were useful in keeping lightweights like Corbyn (in politics) and Shapiro (in grifting) on the fringes of public discourse where they belong. Sadly, we have far to few Andrew Neils anymore….

13. England’s elites have always had a weakness for Jew-hatred.

    Why, you ask?

    In Judaism, buggery is an abomination punishable by death. In the posh “public” boarding schools that still educate most of England’s budding elite, it’s been a way of life for centuries, with each set of new boys being “broken in” by older boys and schoolmasters.

    In later years, the sons of Arab princes propped up by British arms joined the public schoolboys. Few Jewish boys did—their parents had to work for a living, and insisted that their sons spend their time studying.

    So English elites despise Jews, but they ADORE Arab sausage—and Islam along with it. What they miss about the Empire is not how England brought peace, order and good government to half the planet—they left all that rubbish to commoners with names like Ian Smith—but how they could travel without a passport to places where they could buy little boys from Muslim panderers for a pittance with impunity.

    The royal family have only been spared recruitment for buggery because the heirs apparent were always educated privately. A future king, and head of the Church of England, could not be suffered to be a poof. It is a measure of Charles’s irresponsibility and unsuitability for the throne that he suffered his sons to go to a public school, even (or especially) Eton.

    1. That’s disgusting, but I fear you are highly accurate in your analysis and logic. Which BTW … I am convinced Russia and Putin are the DNC’s bogeyman because Putin refuses to “normalize” homosexuality, L, G, B, T, Q, or any other deviancy.

14. What stood out to me, other than the non-Canadian quality of the interviewer, was how easily Corbyn could have fit in with most of our parties.

    Posting a comment anywhere close to “A Canadian” sometimes feels like you need a shower.

    1. Although rough, he many times has valid points to consider.
