Our thanks to Y for this. Extracts:
The combative Channel 4 interview [J4MB: Only Cathy Newman was combative] led to praise for Peterson and criticism for Newman on some right-leaning sites. [J4MB emphasis] James Delingpole, a Breitbart columnist, said the interview marked a “pivotal victory in the culture wars” and that the “weaknesses of the regressive left have never been more cruelly or damningly expose (sic)”. Douglas Murray in the Spectator said: “I don’t think I have ever witnessed an interview that is more catastrophic for the interviewer.”
Newman has faced a wave of abuse and threats online, including on Twitter. There is no suggestion that Peterson, Delingpole or Murray are behind the threats or instigated them. [J4MB: Presumably there is no suggestion Donald Trump, Jacob Rees-Mogg MP, Philip Davies MP, or my Aunt Gloria are behind the threats or instigated them, aren’t they worthy of mention?]
The comments section is disabled, presumably to spare the ‘moderators’ – censors – from having to delete 99% of them.
Justice for Men & Boys 
Well lets be honest its just the usual “damsel in distress ” default . I expect momentarily for there to be “rape threats” thrown in as these are bound to bring out the most gallant of white knights to defend Ms. Newman. It usually works a treat.

‘ … led to praise for Peterson and criticism for Newman on some right-leaning sites.‘
I think right here means not wrong rather than not left and the line should have read ‘right-thinking’, but then the piece was written for and published in The Guardian, a paper famed for its typos.

The sad fact is, Twitter IS vicious.
In reality that’s an understatement and the vileness (and illiteracy) of the Left, particularly the young, is indescribable.
If you can’t face the heat, keep out of the kitchen, springs to mind.

This is a classic case of ‘damseling’; Cathy Newman had an abrasive combative style throughout the interview, and clearly struggled to contain her contempt throughout for her guest and his views. Despite this (and probably because he knew that he would be accused of misogyny by the SJW Amen Legions the second he responded in kind) Peterson held his cool and stuck to his guns throughout, repeatedly having to correct his interviewer when she put words in his mouth (or just garbled feminazi talking points which made no sense and were spouted out of nowhere to break her guest’s train of thought on what are very complex topics).
Then, having made an utter arse of herself on national TV, Newman “has faced a wave of abuse and threats online, including on Twitter” and suddenly she’s not so tough (I guess when people can answer you back, that changes things…). I assume this is the leftwing media elite discovering how people like Toby Young feel when leftie Twitter mobilizes to correct their WrongThink, an SJW lynch mob phenomena which I have seen newspapers like the Guardian and the Independent do nothing but fan, giving platforms to the most insane SJWs they can find (and there is a lot of competition for that title) whenever there is one of these fake social media spats of linguistics that they get so worked up about.
Well, I have no pity for Cathy Newman or any other man hating deluded feminazi – come back to me when you’ve condemned your own followers for the way that they have turned debate in this country into a moral purity test, with the unworthy to be thrown out of the light of ‘respectability’ into the darkness of civil death, where you can persecute them with prison, loss of income (Daily Mail anyone?), verbal and physical abuse (TERFs), sackings etc etc.
Always remember, the tears of a strong independent woman are like those of a crocodile; they are meant to lure and disarm, to making the process of gutting you and playing with your intestines a little bit easier. For example, one wonders if Cathy would reach out to her own followers and tell them to stop calling Dr Peterson a transphobic cis-gender privileged white man who should be sacked and thrown in the clink for hate crimes?
Cue wind whistling through empty streets in the eerie silence which follows
Fuck SJWs, fuck their feelings, fuck their opinions. When they are ready to act like civilized people who share a common society with us, instead of our Enlightened Masters curbing rebellious serfs, then they will be entitled to its decencies and courtesies. Until then, they reap what they sow.

cathy newmans style of interviewing is aggressive (by her own standards that she holds online abuse to), so maybe she herself should be investigated?
if it in the guardian then its seriously blown up out of proportion, and yet the guardian couldn’t give a single example of this abuse( the worse they could likely find, is probably no worse than a “meh” statement online)
guardian quote ..
“As journalists in the public eye, our presenters expect criticism, but
we will not tolerate this level of abuse towards our staff. We have
taken immediate steps to ensure Cathy’s safety and security and continue
to offer her our full support on this matter.””
pity they couldn’t practice that mantra with regards to the abuse they hand out to their interviewees.
Ben de pear is doing some seriously pearl clutching isn’t he?
is it some form of damage control for a lousy interview?
can someone please send him a white knight for shaming newman into thinking she can’t defend herself.
.. and as newman claims Viva feminism, viva free speech..?
well yes only when it suits you and when you behave with professional incompetence that you need a white knight to save your reputation
doesn’t all this sound too much like the fake threats that Anita Sarkeesian used to claim ?
