Koch Brothers? Who are they? Billionaires with political connections? That all? Pfffft, they didn't break the British bank, ruin millions of Asian lives for their financial gain or help the Nazis round up Jews. The Koch brothers have every right to be jealous, they couldn't hold a candle to this piece of work!

Seen a lot of tweets and articles strenuously complaining about how the BBC treated Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (the 'We should all be feminists' novelist) during a recent interview, after pitting her against a Trump supporter. Mostly it was people saying what a disgrace it was and also sarcastically suggesting it would no doubt excused by citing "free speech". So I thought I'd watch it and braced myself for what I felt was going to be ten minutes of the Nigerian author being told that America has had enough of Africans coming to America, or some other such hate fueled rubbish.. given the reaction I'd been seeing.
Well all I can say after viewing the interview is: how fcuking thin skinned and precious can far left liberals get? Sweet Moses. Outside of an echo chamber they seem to wilt.
Her beef (and that of the far left media's - of which I would have included the BBC) would appear to be that they had the audacity to have a white male Trump supporter sit beside her on the panel without giving her a sufficient head's up. She says that despite this she reluctantly agreed given how upset she was at the election result, but only as long as she was not going to be asked to respond directly to anything that he (Robert Tyrrell - American author) said (charming) . Her main bone of contention comes from the fact that right after she says how Trump being elected has made her "feel" ("numb", "sad" and "angry") Tyrrell had the gall to reply to that by saying that unlike her he didn't respond to the result "emotionally" he looked at the "evidence". She then reacts to this by saying she feels patronized with the suggestion that she was being emotional but yet she was the one who cited her own emotions at the result to begin with
If anything Tyrrell is the one that should be angry (with both the BBC and Adichie) as immediately following this segment they went to a break and immediately on returning the host says: "Lets go to our panel: The first ever black president will be followed by a president who's is endorsed by the KKK, Bob, where does that leave you?" Talk about a loaded question. Adichie then starts sniggering and laughing at Tyrrell's objection to aligning the KKK with Donald Trump and suggesting it's very relevant given that Trump has been racist. Tyrrell responds (perhaps incorrectly) that Trump has not been racist, to which Adichie replies: "You don't get to sit there as a white man and say that he has not been racist". Thereby saying that white people can not have an opinion on whether of not something is racist or not.
Again, Trump may very well have been racist during the campaign (in fact I concede that he certainly made remarks that could be construed as racist for sure) but I find it infuriating and incredulous that this woman (supposed bastion of racial and gender equality) could cite racism while simultaneously dismissing someone's opinion purely because of the colour of their skin and be seemingly oblivious to the irony of what she was doing not to mention the hypocrisy of it.
The narrative the far left media has created around this has bizarrely been that Adichie "schooled a manterrupter".
Here's Adichie expressing her outrage in a Facebook post and Newsnight's reply to it.

The BBC are about as fair and balanced as Fox News.
It really galled me when I lived there that I had to pay the license fee as I had an internet connection (and no TV) and the ****ers had the law rewritten to include internet connected devices.0 -
