I’m now a broken record on this, but:
The reason this interviewing style works is NOT because of the words.
It’s because the interviewer asserts dominance. He says Bannon is lying and then he walks away.

He makes Bannon look weak. He basically laughs at him. THIS is how you treat Nazis and fascists.
Bannon wants to be seen as legitimate. His lies work best when the mainstream grants him legitimacy.
Deny him that, if you’re a pro-democracy reporter. #DemocracySummit /2

Bannon’s goal here isn’t really about words, it’s to exert a kind of dominance over journalists. “You are treating me like I’m for real—I have power over you.”
It’s @jayrosen_nyu’s thing about journalists as hate objects.
Journalists defeat that w/ ridicule and dismissal. /end

Good morning from inside the #RCJ. Firstly, to confirm that despite an electrical failure on his train journey & thanks to pre-5 am by Derek @JA_Defence, much-beloved @CraigMurrayOrg has made it in.
I will tweet here if I’m allowed.

A few journalists & I have made it to the door of the court room. We are waiting to be let in. It appears that the judgment may just be handed down and there may not be any discussion. The lawyers are not here yet. 40 mins to start
