Embarrassing interview of @MichaelCohen212 on @BBCNewsnight tonight, regardless of what anyone might think of him. Why does the prog reduce itself to this?? Appalling interview, laced with personal opinion and emotional, screeching argument...

...topped off with an argumentative comment and cutting the feed before Cohen could answer, as if the presenter’s views were bound to be the audience’s too. Since when does an interviewer (speech maker here, more like) get the last word? @KirstyWark should present it every night

I should add this thread is not a comment on “BBC bias” or anything of the sort, but purely on the shocking conduct of the interview - albeit we all knew Emma Barnet’s views by the end, which was pretty objectionable too imo, regardless of whether I share them or not.
