Channel 4 is a British "public-service" television broadcaster that joined the lamestream media in 1982. Although largely commercially self-funded, it is ultimately publicly owned, so, like PBS, slavishly follows the liberal progressive party line. Populism bad; Trump bad; racism bad. Merkel good; refugees good; multiculturalism wonderful!
One of Channel 4's featured propaganda pieces stars presenter Cathy Newman, who became famous a few months ago for a train-wreck interview with Canadian professor Jordan Peterson, who set her straight about what he (and real conservatives) believe.
A few days ago, Ms Newman interviewed Polish legislator Dominik Tarczyński on the subject of Europe's migrant crisis. Ms Newman called Mr Tarczyński a racist -- what else? -- for being happy that his government has refused to take a single illegal migrant, which is what his Law and Justice Party (Pis) promised before recent elections.
The Channel 4 presenter demanded to know how many "refugees" Poland had taken, to which Mr Tarczyński replied, "Zero."
"And you’re proud of that?" queried the obviously "triggered" interviewer.
"If you are asking me about Muslim illegal immigrants, none, not even one, will come to Poland," replied the adamant solon. "We took over two million Ukrainians — who are working, who are peaceful — in Poland. We will not receive even one Muslim, because this is what we promised.... This is why our government was elected; this is why Poland is so safe, this is why we have not had even one terror attack!"
Here's the video. As you watch, ask yourself who's smarter -- the Poles and President Trump or the leaders of western Europe and Canuckistan. Stupid question!

VIDEO: "Gotcha!" - Jordan Peterson ties feminist SJW in knots
Just two months ago, in "Hitler reacts to Canuck grad student thought crimes" (WWW 25/11/17 - includes hilarious video!) Walt introduced you to Professor Jordan Peterson, one of Canada’s most brilliant, courageous, and rigorous academics. Prof Peterson became a hero to conservatives and free speech advocates by declaring his refusal to use those stupid "transgender pronouns" -- "ze", "zer", "zis" etc -- or to speak words others insisted he speak.
Before the kerfuffle about Lindsay Shepherd'd censure by Wilfrid Laurier University for daring to show a portion of a debate featuring Prof Peterson to a class of impressionable university students (see post), Prof Peterson had himself been "urged" by his employer, the University of Toronto, to "stop making" remarks that would cause discomfort or offence to "transgenders" (read: transsexuals) or snowflakes of any kind.
The "pronoun wars", as they have become known, brought Professor Peterson to prominence. The over-the-top reaction to his standing up for free speech has given him an audience of millions and kept copies of his new book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, near the top of best-seller lists the world over.
Earlier this month, while on the obligatory book tour, Professor Peterson submitted to a half-hour interview on Britain's Channel 4 in which he faced Cathy Newman, a very hostile feminist of the alt-left persuasion. on Britain’s Channel Four. Without getting as hysterically argumentative as his interlocutor, the professor answered her snide remarks and barbed questions on "gender equality", the male-female pay gap, our supposedly patriarchal society, and, inevitably, his alleged "transphobia".
The climax came at about the 23-minute mark, when Prof Peterson calmly countered her question as to why his right to freedom of speech should trump her "right not to be offended". His answer left the angry lady literally speechless. During the painful pause which followed, the professor exclaimed (quietly), "Ha! Gotcha!"
Here's the video, already viewed on YouTube by over 4 million people. You can fast forward to the fun part if you like, but Walt recommends watching the whole thing -- twice -- for a clear presentation of what's wrong with all the loony feminist claptrap that you hear everywhere (Step forward, Oprah and the wimmin on The View!) these days. If you have to spend more than 30 seconds in conversation with one of these raging feminists, make a few mental notes, so you can get her (or "zer"...whatever) to STFU without actually saying that!
