"On Friday, Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro cut short an interview with British conservative Andrew Neil on the BBC show Politics Live. Neil was extremely hostile to Shapiro, but that is the style of his show.
Shapiro apologized for going on the show unprepared, and people got a good laugh at the man who's famous for saying, "Facts don't care about your feelings."

BBC made fringe electoral failure Nigel Farage into a household name by giving him a seat in every debate programme (while elected decent people
like @CarolineLucas got sidelined).
Now a day after claiming virtue when sacking Danny Baker it gives a platform to Ben Shapiro
