Extremely effective interviewing here from @Emmabarnett – she did a great job of cutting through the waffle and attempts to sidestep by Rhodri Talfan. I particularly liked "There are also facts, and facts don't have to be balanced." https://t.co/HxGhIZGbbR
Last Saturday’s edition features an interview with Kathleen Stock, as well as local Seattle famous person Amanda Knox. What strikes me again and again with Stock is that, as an academic and a philosopher, she expects, and deserves, to have people address her arguments and show how they are wrong. During this interview, she explains how she gets told that her views make people feel unsafe, or even actually unsafe. She says that if those claims are true, well, she obviously doesn’t want people to be unsafe, but just explain how, specifically, her words and ideas make people unsafe. Of course, she never gets that. Just as, when someone like Katie Herzog asks for specific quotes from her journalism that are actually transphobic, silence.
