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

Come to a red area with me, touch grass, talk to some actual voters, and get away from limited polling please.
Imagine if Fetterman’s team said “show me data before you do all those videos and memes”!!
