'Channel 4 has been forced to call in “security specialists” after a combative interview with a controversial Canadian psychologist spawned a series of online abuse and threats directed at presenter Cathy Newman.
Ms Newman grilled University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson, who has attracted a following from the far-right, on gender and equality, including his claims that the pay gap between men and women cannot solely be attributed to gender.
She was the target of a wide range of “vicious” comments and “misogynistic” threats following the exchange, leading to Channel 4 having to call in security specialists, according to the editor, Ben de Pear.'
'Mr De Pear said that the “level of vicious misogynistic abuse, nastiness, and threats” were an “unacceptable response” to the interview.'
Watched the vid and the guy does kind of tie her in knots with the tone of his voice here, I think my answer would be I'm doing my job! He's there to be interviewed on this topic what did he think they were going to discuss, the weather?... This to me was a diversionary tactic to fog the issue, and it worked.
The trolls are no surprise either, rather vicious and reactionary the 'anti PC brigade' it seems.
