This is an absolutely unacceptable doubling-down by the Economist, who are either foolishly getting exploited by providing a platform without any accountability, or are complicit in an awful agenda.
As I've stated before, the Economist needs to make clear its editorial policy on what attacks it will give a platform to.
I'm on the agenda, and given their doubling-down, I'm staying on the agenda, but not for the listed topic. I'll be addressing the consistent, immoral attacks Bannon has directed against the South Asian American community, from the Economist's stage. events.economist.com/events-confere…
I’m at the event, where they’re about to put Bannon onstage and are purporting that they will challenge him.
There are a good number of vocal and effective protestors out front of 7 World Trade.
Perhaps one of the most important perspectives to hear on this.
So far @zannymb is largely outmatched, letting Bannon run the conversation, even as she tries to ask pointed questions.
This exactly.
Absolutely pathetic. The only true thing Steve Bannon said onstage is that he seeks to get his ideas out there & convert young people to his beliefs, and he got a platform to do exactly that. #OpenFuture
Correction: another true thing Bannon said was that he believed the labor market in America worked better during the time period when slavery was legal.
