Isaac once again proving that there isn’t a mercy rule in professional interviews.

@davelevitan.bsky.social I hope you can help me by sharing and reposting. You don't know how much this means to me. I am from Gaza and my family and I are struggling to survive. 🫂

Even better look up jamellebouie on bluesky. He has lots of excerpts.

iwasamine.bsky.social•11 hours ago

If you search for nycsouthpaw on bluesky and scroll down just a little you can see an excerpt from the interview. I’ll look for more to tell you about

That interview had me wincing and saying, "girl...." multiple times.

When you start talking like Shia LaBoeuf in a Transformers movie.

Also a good sign: when you ask to go off the record in the middle of the interview.

What was the deal with that interview? Behind paywall.

notesnthemargin.bsky.social•11 hours ago

To be fair, that's about as well as anyone should expect a Chotiner interview to go. I would just say 'no, no, no, no, no' if I got the request!

iwasamine.bsky.social•12 hours ago

I don’t subscribe to the New Yorker. Would you please share a little more on how the interview went?

She doesn’t see the difference in saying something is bad just cause it’s the Trump administration and what she is doing, which is refusing to say if something is bad just because it’s the Trump administration

Talk about equivocating.

I figured it out: Zionists have correctly identified that criticism of Israel is more dangerous to Israel than anti-Semitism is.

mikepipper.bsky.social•7 hours ago

May he keep getting away with it, because FUCK. 😬

cdelawalla.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I lol’d when I saw that.

*insert visual of him counting on his fingers the number of “no”s when listening back through the recording*

thorbenson.bsky.social•10 hours ago

That's me getting the interview request

Mr. Chotiner is a living counterexample to the idea that asking your interview subjects tough questions will destroy your access.

Lordy, this lady would have lunch with Hitler if she thought he might be, maybe if you squint, defending Jews. Whatever credibility she had is now ashes.

Why for the love of all that is holy do these people agree to speak with him?

He sometimes *does* do normal interviews with reasonable people. And then there are the ghouls who are so out there they think their ghoul-brain is normal.

jbristerauthor.bsky.social•11 hours ago

my theory is that his subjects think something like "oh i'm not like those people, i can beat Chotiner" and assume they can get one over on him

wendymadarling.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Exactly. And yikes. Unlike ol

wendymadarling.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Unlike ol' Deb, I know that I am dumber than Chotiner.

Oh 100%. Arrogance is key.

I’ve always wondered that! Either he is the most charismatic man on earth or people really are that dumb.

oh mama mia mama mia mama mia, let me go, Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for meeeeee

Wow. wow wow wow.

Starts off well enough, but then she seems to not want to get to some hard questions about this Admin using anti-semitism as a prop to advance other 'priorities'.
