JORDAN PETERSON CONTINUES TO LIVE RENT FREE IN VANQUISHED INTERROGATOR’S HEAD: After Peterson’s half-hour interview with leftwing British TV host Cathy Newman went viral earlier this week, Newman has been desperate for victim status:
—The London Telegraph, yesterday.
● Chaser:
A Twitter user responding to Ian Miles Cheong of the Daily Caller writes that “They’ve deleted this tweet since. I wonder why? Obviously not because it shows Cathy as not a victim, but instead someone with a sense of humour?”
Heh. If you haven’t seen it yet, you owe it to yourself to watch the whole interview. As the London Spectator notes, “If I was Channel 4 I would take it down. If I was Cathy Newman I would sue or seek a super-injunction. I don’t think I have ever witnessed an interview that is more catastrophic for the interviewer.” Peterson’s book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, is due out on Tuesday.

UPDATE: “Left Reframes Jordan Peterson’s SJW Takedown as Misogynist, Alt-Right Bullying,” James Delingpole writes, with some very funny tweets attached from Peterson’s fans pushing back against Newman’s knee-jerk “so what you’re really saying is…” habit when confronted with doubleplus ungood crimethink.
