It sucks, but this sub now may have to consider changing it's name to workreform because of this. Plus workreform is a much better description of the movement.

Ouch. The questions were not even hardballs. When the interviewer stated that the system is fair because one freely agrees to the company's terms and conditions of employment, I would have been the one laughing. If "starving" is the alternative then perhaps the bargaining power of the employers is a bit unbalanced.
But I don't judge the guy. He must have been tripping on nerves. It would have been a good idea to pick someone a bit more prepared to face this kind of pressure. But hey, he was brave. Maybe they got the opportunity with short notice and no one else was willing to step up.
that's the kind of shit they do if you get on tv, you need to be super violent and aggressive if you want them to take you just a bit serious
Someone please shoot that Fox news bastard in the knees and balls
Honestly, like fuck Fox News and that dude was just a smug asshole. But at the same time, is he really the one at fault for fucking up that interview?
If this mod were being interviewed by anyone that wasn't already deeply sympathetic to the community were conducting that interview would it really have gone any differently?
I think that if the person conducting the interview would have human decency the result would have been much more different. Sure, that dude did it horribly, but he's a person trying to do the best he can as everybody else while managing a shitty job, he didn't receive professional training on how to take one and that's fine, but the interviewer didn't let him speak, interrupted him and all the questions were done on purpose to control the narrative, and I'm sure it was all planned like that. If it would have been a real interview there would have been questions, answers and a debate, here we only saw an upper class white cis heterosexual man saying "heuuhh ehuhe look at me im got moneis heheheh fuck you hehehe."
