- 1/15/22 second update: @andrewcallaghan7333 has posted a new video ( • In Response ) relating to recent news. Thank you Andrew for finally addressing the allegations, and outlining steps to work on yourself. Please take the opportunity to set an example for how to improve going forwards.
1/15/22 update: Reiterating what I wrote in my pinned comment and said in my followup video ( • Introducing myself aft... ), I strongly encourage Andrew and @Channel5TH-cam to take the allegations seriously, apologize for wrongdoing, work to chart a better course forwards that ensures this sort of thing does not happen again, and also allow a variety of different budding journalists to take turns getting more chances with interviewing and leadership roles at @Channel5TH-cam .
1/10/22 update: I have added a pinned comment discussing the emerging allegations that I learned about after filming and posting this video.
I put together videos I recorded with Andrew Callaghan of @Channel5TH-cam fielding questions in a sometimes heated interview with Robin Young at WBUR Boston, after a screening of his documentary This Place Rules, about divisive media and politics leading up to the 2020 election and Jan 6.
Who's here after the Lex Fridman podcast with Andrew? Ayyyyyyyyyy
Fr I love lex
Me!
He did a good job. The last Zuckerberg and Lex interview with the AI goggles made me tear up. We live in interesting times. Elon musk is a fraud.
Yup!
I'm not a huge fan of Lex's style and it bugged me that he pronounced Andrew's last name wrong every time he said it, but I'm thrilled that he posts a friggin 3-hour interview with someone like Andrew Callaghan and ends up getting such good content out there.
NPR lady “ you should correct people when they’re wrong “
Andrew “ you’re wrong “
Legendary
timestamp?
Don’t think he says that directly and the commenter above is paraphrasing
At 13:10 she asks “Talk about your methods. Because you don’t correct them in real time?” And he responds “Yeah. It doesn’t work”
its an important question. good job on her
Its such an american thing that the interviewer needs to only ask friendly question..
@@folepi7995 that's not at all what journalism is supposed to be lol. It's to report the facts, not correct people.
Also no, it does not work. It clearly does not change people's minds when you argue with them about politics. It makes them worse.
2:01 he refutes by saying “That’s not what the movie’s a about”
the audience laughing at how horrible her questions are restores my faith in humanity
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This, this is what I was coming to say as well. I’m hoping these type of events can spark something in more ppl to wake the fuck up to the Hegelian dialects and manipulation on both sides.
I thought it was pretty rude and unproductive, she seemed pretty unfazed but generally it feels like a bad idea to mock someone when they’re attempting to grasp such an important message.
@@lifeoffryan always good to see a comrade with the dialectics in yt chat
@@ezanaassefa1203 It's very clear she did not want to grasp Andrew's message, old guard journalist types close themselves to criticism of media as a whole, that much was made clear with Andrew's interview on CNN where the older journalist got unreasonably mad
This was 28 minutes of this lady proving Andrew's point about the media dividing us
This is what happens when you choose someone to interview Andrew who has never seen a single second of any of his content except for the movie
💯
@@j.7106 She’s referencing the beginning of the movie where he talks about how he originally got started/ went viral lol. If you think this neolib boomer npr host is an og fan of Andrew, sorry but that is absolutely hilarious. She has no fucking clue. Also I have no idea what you mean when you say my comment is proving his point
Nah, if she had seen every moment of Andrew's content she would come to the same conclusion. And that's a her problem.
@@TravisRiver Definitely a fair point lmao. She just seems so unprepared and is asking questions he’s already answered many times
I don’t think she’s actually seen the documentary based on her questioning.
Andrew: "Fox is definitely mainstream media." Woman: "But they lie.. how's that mainstream?" *crowd laughs at her*
MSN has about a 49% truth rating. Fox is closer to 90%.
crazy, you can literally hear the crowd asking 'what?' when she asks the Alex Jones question, pretty shitty journalism on her part tbh.
She's not asking questions, she's narrating her POV.
"93% peaceful..." LOL. That is a very specific percentage.
this is the problem. couldn't of said it better
This lady is the physical embodiment of the Managerial Class
The glasses and the lilt to her voice give it away - she's there to lay down the outlines of high status vs. low status beliefs.
@@payleryder45 liberal pretentiousness personified
This comment should be pinned
Rob is a straight legend for releasing this absolute masterpiece
Thanks! I’m inspired by Andrew to start making more of my own documentary content here around Boston now
@@theinfatuatedthinker You should go for it!
Rob ftw
We ❤ rob!
@@theinfatuatedthinker gonna subscribe with notifications so i can see this someday! i also really wanna make character study docs someday
Thx Lex for interviewing Andrew! Wouldn’t have heard about this interview otherwise. & huge thx to Rob for recording
lol Andrew is super smart. He owned this lady.
Same
You’re welcome! Where in the Lex interview did this come up? I skipped through it but haven’t watched it from end to end yet.
@@theinfatuatedthinkerlike 1 hour 52 min into the episode on Spotify he names this interview you recorded!
21:55 prophetic
The stark contrast between these two approaches to journalism is unbelievable. I’m incredibly excited for Callaghan’s generation to be the next wave of journalists!
there won't be, they will get rid of him before then.
@@lovedead564 he is already here
Only one is an actual journalist
its two different types of journalism...
npr compared to cnn and fox is professional...
It's amazing she starts letting her guard down toward the end of the video, and gets away from MSM brained questions.
Like just being in Andrews presence is enough to undumb yourself.
It’s hilarious listening to this woman today, in 2024, days after NPR is accused of having a liberal bias. I have a huge amount of respect for Andrew. Lex hosted a great interview.
Accused? Lol. NPR had been liberal propaganda for 15 years or more
I thought the same way.
NPR is still mainstream media. Liberal or not they barely covered Bernie Sanders because he wasn’t an establishment Democrat.
NPR has had a liberal bias for at least the last decade. It’s blatant. I used to yell at my radio on the way to work. I’ve since stopped torturing myself and just switched it off.
Have you EVER listened to NPR? You'd have to be an imbecile to listen to 10 minutes of NPR programming and not know they're super liberal...
Andrew straight up feels like a vigilante journalist. Gets the job done better than anyone because he doesn’t play by the rules. This woman’s envy is almost palpable, and it feels like she’s masking it behind a veneer of so-called journalistic integrity and sound morality.
I mean can you blame her 🤣
Most journalists *used* to be very similar to Andrew, that’s ~why~ “they” had to make media what it is today, too many people calling “them” out.
Andrew is very clear about his influences and methods. He's doing Gonzo Journalism. Similar to how Hunter S. Thompson did things, but necessarily updated for the modern world. A lot of that is exactly what he said in the first 2 minutes of this video: "I only film people who were already exploiting themselves". Gonzo Journalism involves basically just "vibing" with your subject. You don't need to agree with them, you just need to shut up and go for the ride. And that brings a level of access and genuine revelation with the interview subject that, as you point out, this lady will never achieve trying to invite Jones or anyone else into a studio to do a formal interview.
Andrew is like a cross between Louis Theroux and Hunter s. Thompson. Watch what he does when interviewing people...he just follows them around and shuts up. He'll ask a question here and there but he's mostly just shooting the shit with them and knows that the people he's interviewing cannot abide silence so they'll keep talking without much prompting.
@@crabbyboy1585yes lol, anybody with a brain can tell you Alex Jones is a piece of shit and that there are satirical elements in Andrew’s journalism.
@@eldercrain Yeah he's mentioned that himself in interviews as his kind of main "strategy." Letting one's stream of consciousness flow uninterrupted yields some amazing results.
I'm an almost 65-year-old former journalist turned copywriter. I loved Abbie Hoffman and Hunter Thompson as well as Edward R Murrow. I feel that Andrew is continuing their tradition of speaking truth to power, but in a way that doesn't condescend to people he disagrees with. I think he calls his interview approach "radical listening," and it's a perfect way to handle the inchoate babble on both sides. And I love how he showed this biased interviewer the benefits of nonjudgmental reporting. As my old Journalism professor kept hammering: "Show. Don't tell."
It's very important to see this interview uncut and unedited. This is so revealing. Thank you for posting it.
For sure, I was thrilled to film and post. There are a few smaller moments I missed when I ran out of phone memory and had to go delete some old videos.
@@theinfatuatedthinker I and many others seriously appreciate your efforts. :)
@@theinfatuatedthinker Hero
@@theinfatuatedthinker Seriously, thank you so much for posting!
@@theinfatuatedthinker thanks king, much luck in your future endeavors.
I hope Andrew realizes that NPR is no different than the rest of the mainstream media.
She started the interview with an insult towards her GUEST!
NPR has fallen so low. This interview disgusts me
As sad as it is I think it is important for Andrew to do interviews like this every once in a while. This interview made me realize that there is still a massive disconnect between new or alt media compared to mainstream media. I know Andrew hates it, but it really shows a rabbit hole of narrative the NPR interviewer went down that many other mainstream reporters follow as well.
The elitism! As a Southerner and former right winger I can attest that we noticed. And so did people like Rush Limbaugh who took full advantage of our resentment to manipulate us.
Indeed. While I’m old enough to appreciate a little “decorum” in public discourse, too often the notion gets used by the center left as an excuse to bury their heads in the sand and blame everyone but themselves for the foothold the Alex Jone’s of the world got on their watch. It’s almost as if ‘decorum’ itself has become the center left’s dog whistle for shutting down (by shaming) anyone who’s lens or questions point at uncomfortable truths.
Same she was telling a damn story trying to ask simple ass questions. It was wild. He had the answers though.
Having said that though, kudos to her for doing the interview. At least she’s engaging with the newer/younger/alternative/thoughts/ways/ideas he’s putting out there. Importantly, she struck me as being sincere with her questions. Even if a little obtuse at times, I don’t think it was intentional. Him trying to contain his annoyance at her most (arguably, “offensive”) obtuse question so that he could answer it-is a good example of why I ever appreciated “decorum” in the first place…for its ability to allow a potentially enlightening conversation to continue. Good job Andrew!
it really felt like she had an agenda. her mind was made up and she wanted to "get" andrew to admit something predetermined.
She is the key example of the message behind Andrew’s movie.
eeeexactly. and she doesn’t even realize it
not really. npr is on a different level than cnn or fox.
she asked unconftable question. but thats what an interviewer should do so he can position himself
@@folepi7995 that’s the issue, journalists should hold no position whatsoever. For her to ask questions that pigeon hold him to make a stand that he may not necessarily believe in is what Andrew has been fighting against. Journalists are meant to report what’s going on with no opinion towards it whatsoever. He said it himself every person he interviewed didn’t think that he was on their side, simply just getting their stories out.
@@folepi7995 NPR themselves have been very left leaning for a while now, toward the latter of the Trump administration they didn’t hold back on their stance on the political scale. It was sad to see.
@@NamoromaN did you actually read some articles? on the matter of covid i was positively excited that they provided the most sources out of all american newsoutlets i could find.
for context. im not american
This might be the most useful interview about Andrews message toward his film... unintentionally by the interviewer. It highlights how fantastic of an Interviewer Andrew Callaghan is. His career will be even more massive.
unintentionally lol
interviewer did a great job asking good questions where andrew can position himself
His career is going somewhere alright 😂😂 how many women have come out now accusing him of SA and worse? His days are numbered
His career should be over, he’s a scumbag women abuser and overrated as hell. His content is unoriginal and lame. Just another street interviewer.
@@ap23z his interviews were good.
Since alot of people viewed him as pretty weird, they told him things you dont hear else
A shame that he destroyed his career
@@ap23z aged well
I absolutely love his comment about "slam dunking on them for viewership". I feel like that's how we get deeper in these divides. We do not approach the problem from understanding but approach from a perspective of "you're right and I'm wrong"
Slam dunked on her this whole interview
They are wrong tho.
@@futon2345 but even if that is the case, it does nothing but worsen the divide when you attack someone saying they're wrong. All they do is dig in.
I think we ought to do to them what the Chinese are purporting to do in XJ. Send them all to Idaho and patrol the state border with drones
I disagree with the they're right and I am wrong. Instead it should be "we both have different views and we are both right and wrong in certain ways, it's okay to be growing, and we should be open to talk about things and possibly change our minds." But that would take both sides viewing it that way. So in that sense I see where your wording would help to soften or remove the guards of adversaries so meaningful discussion could be had without either side tensioning and diving deeper into allusions
I can't believe she thought mainstream meant you couldn't lie, holy shit 💀
thats not what she thought but ok
@@criznash Found her youtube account
When it basically means the opposite 😂
@@criznash what did she think?
She didn't actually think that. She just wants to portray that opinion of herself to her viewership.
This lady proving the point of his movie and not realizing it is fascinating.
doesnt she say at one point that she thinks its fascinating?
this feels like historical moment in journalism. thanks for keeping it real Andrew. thanks for uploading rob
This lady unreal...She is living so far away from reality in some kind of moral highground make believe bubble.
"But they lie. How is that mainstream?"
ARE YOU FOR REAL
What even is a ‘stream’? Where am I? Who gave Alex Jones a beverage??
I think the point was that part of being large is having accountability. Its like tax fraud where you can't nail every small, transient actor, so they can largely get away with being dishonest. But if a large company (that actually has money behind it) that can't simply rename or disappear makes that mistake, it's a totally different story. So you would expect "mainstream" to have to tell the truth because of liabilities. Unfortunately this doesn't actually play out because fox is mostly punditry (as Andrew points out), and they aren't held to the same standards of truth telling. If you read her as "how is that mainstream news reporting", I think it's less crazy sounding.
@@PsilovibeGraham They've all lied without retractions? I'm going to need a source on that one, chief. It's a night and day difference between 99% accurate reporting (with bias) and whatever the fuck Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones are doing. This is like saying I have "murderer" in common with the Zodiac Killer because I use hand sanitizer...
@@PsilovibeGraham Excellent sources, how could I have been so lost
When NPR has pieces literally written by Disney😂😂😂😂
13:02 "yah it doesn't work"
This was my take-away from spending a little time on twitter trying to untangle people's complicated knots of misinformation. Imo people will only dig in their heels when confronted. Everybody's stressed, overworked, underappreciated, and grasping at straws.
This seems like the only thing that will glue this fracturing nation together
This honestly seems like a deleted scene from the doc.
Man. Brilliant call 😂
The press tour for this could have its own doc lol
If this was 2004, this would absolutely be a DVD bonus feature on disc 2
I Understand this must have been a frustrating and even discouraging experience for Andrew but the footage speaks for itself, and it drives home the point he is making about the mainstream media. Hang in there Andrew, you’re doing something really special
The amount of times Andrew is exasperated🥺 Oh my God dude must be exhausted but fucking killed it with every answer🙌
Thank you Rob for uploading this.
Came here to watch this after the Lex Fridman interview
It’s a fear of mine that I will wake up one day, an older man, grown out of touch with what the current generation is experiencing. to forget to keep learning by reduction-breaking down my hard built worldview to learn something from someone with fresh eyes. if you do not surrender, and try to see, you will be blind-doomed to repeat past mistakes of refusing to evolve in the process. I feel this is the gold Andrew is so good at driving home. many label him as a cynical deconstructionist, but he’s literally handing us the keys to the kingdom..
Fucking love this comment dude
@@velocityJE hey thanks!
Best comment. I'm a 42yo bartender. I have this fear... I'm Gucci doe. Lol. Keep listening to the bebe's 🥰🥰🥰 keeps me young.
Do shrooms every once in a while and be willing to learn and change
This comment resonates with me much. I'm so worried about losing something as I age because it feels like most of the older generation (even my dad, who's only 50) either never learned or have forgotten the exercise of empathizing and challenging yourself intellectually.
Andrews content, especially his earlier stuff, seems at first like it was just surrealist entertainment, but he and his team are extremely skilled and conscious of what they're doing.
I’m here after watching his interview with Lex Fridman. This was after his press tour was canceled after what he said on cnn. This was the only interview he that wasn’t canceled.
He was going to appear on all the major late night shows, all of those went away when he dared to actually be a little critical of the media. This is why nothing changes, people don’t usually rock the boat and go along with the agenda and don’t step out of line. I respect his courage. This was also around the time the sexual misconduct stuff came out of nowhere, kind of makes you think
This conversation has edges, but it’s a really important example of the kinds of discomforts you have to navigate to discuss many of these things from a generational perspective.
Terrific.
dang, i hadn't thought of it like that - you are totally right though
this is me talking to my parents literally 2-3 times a month. its totally fine and natural. people vilifying her are dumb
@@andrewtregoningthey shouldn't be vilifying her...but their reasoning for it are valid
For those not from the Lex Friedman podcast, according to Andrew this host refused to shake his hand backstage before the event because, in her words, he'd been around people whose germs she didn't want. He also said she was wearing two stacked KN-95 masks, which you can see on her wrist throughout the interview.
This is an iconic piece of media thank you for uploading! For real, this interview could be a case study on the fall of old journalism and really speaks to the impact and integrity of Andrew Callaghan and his work
At least this lady seems somewhat redeemable by the end, loved the conversation about hunter s. Thompson what a wild ride this interview was
You’re welcome! I was also glad they had a positive conversation about the inspiration and the differences between Andrew and Hunter Thompson.
Totally agree. This is epic
Agreed. New vs old. Literally and figuratively. This is a journalistic moment in history.
@@theinfatuatedthinker Except to varying degrees they both equally misunderstand and/or misrepresent HST. It feels like neither of them have actually read even one entire collection of his essays.
Bro thanks for taking the time to film this and put it together. Great watch. Love how the NPR journalist inadvertently just makes his points for him about how ingenuine mainstream media is, her takes on his documentary were just wild and I was so impressed with how Andrew handled her questions.
Andrew is really singlehandedly influencing society in the absolute most important way possible right now. Helping teach young people to empathize with people who have different political backgrounds. He will be remembered for a long long time. Probably the most important journalist alive rn.
Ween!!!!!! Praise Boognish!
WEEN
BOOGNISH😊
He's not telling you to empathize with these people. He's showing you how ridiculous they are. He shows you that they occasionally behave like humans but he's not rationalizing their behavior.
@@rockymcgredy6369 empathy doesn't necessarily mean he's rationalizing their behavior. It just means he's listening to them respectfully to try and actually understand them, and when you do that with them they'll treat you with the same respect. He talks about that in this very video.
This is awesome to watch in light of NPR whistleblower Uri Berliner's article.
The best Andrew interview to date (with him as the interviewee) hands-down. The unintentional comedy felt like intentional satire.. chef’s kiss
So many good moments here Andrew. Handled the interview so well. Good shit!
That crushed look when she starts out with "well hopefully now you'll listen." Is a real never meet your heros moment

Thank you so much for recording this and uploading. Such an important distinction between legacy journalism and journalism now
It’s called nuance, and that is what Andrew is fantastic at. Beautifully done.
Such a breath of fresh air. Why is nuance so difficult to engage in for so many people?
lmao this dude is a literal serial predator rapist of women and you all are sucked in by his gay schmoozing
he is an exploitative narcissitic sociopath and his trail of rapes has caught up to him lmao
"Andrew Callaghan in conversation with Louis Theroux" that's something I would love to see. Thank you for recording this, wonderful.
This interview was actually pretty pleasant toward the end, felt like there were some rocky bumps at the beginning but the two understood eachother a little better after that
I think she did an about face when seeing that the crowd was against her.
she had a major tone shift after he called out her accusatory line of questioning, it didnt feel like a genuine moment of understanding to me lol
@@IAMSTRINDOM agree
@@IAMSTRINDOM she could be just asking the questions on a lot of people's minds.
The drinking with Alex Jones is optically bad if you don't know who Andrew is, so maybe she asked so he could respond to those critics. My take is that she knows how good he is and how good this documentary is, and she is showing people how much integrity he has by letting him silence the extreme critics
Yeah I'm glad that happened, I think she was just not misinformed/out of touch, but luckily it turned around by the end
Hunter S. Thompson rode with the Hell’s Angels for a year as an honorary member in order to research his novel of the same name. He did this because, in order to accurately report upon a phenomena, you have to listen. You have to understand before you diagnose. It was this style of Gonzo journalism that allowed him to accurately and effectively explore *what* perpetuates the anti-establishment rhetoric of these outlaws.
People don’t wake up and decide to become a criminal, or a conspiracy theorist, or what have you. Various societal influences have a direct impact on what fuels these people and forces them into their own communities. Becoming a Q Anon conspiracy theorist isn’t that cause, it’s a *symptom* - the cause is rooted firmly in undiagnosed mental health problems, laughably ineffective adult media literacy, and a battalion of news outlets whose sole purpose is to manipulate these gullible, mentally ill people into believing what they’re selling.
You can’t just speak. You have to listen. And that’s what Channel 5 successfully does. And it’s only when you listen that you can correctly find the root of the problem and begin to solve it.
She didn't even seem to understand that leftist is different than liberal
Most Americans do not.
@@M00SE414especially superliberals
I didn’t understand and my friend had to set me straight now I do
This was an incredible interview. Sorry to Andrew because he looked really uncomfortable with some of the questions. I think that her pressing him the way she did gave him room to shine, because we would never have heard his incredible rebuttals, without her pressure. In the end, I think that we can give a little bit more credit to the veteran journalist, for asking the hard questions, and when Andrew had the right answer, crediting him for putting it to bed. Then joking like old pals at the end, her essentially admiring his journalistic style, placing him next to Hunter S Thompson. Amazing
This is the type of journalism BBC used to do frequently. By asking tough questions you allow people to defend their positions much better than throwing them softballs
She didn’t ask tough questions. She asked biased ones. She has a point of view instead of being neutral. He has nothing to defend.
@@ekuudehe had nothing to defend. She just attacked him without knowing his positions and also showed her bias to cutting back freedom of speech
This woman is oblivious to anything outside her own echo chamber.
Defund NPR
this really wasnt all that egregious. she asked him the obligatory MSM brained questions, which threw the vibe off early on, but kept it moving. tbh their hunter breakthrough was cute and im glad they ended on a positive note
I like how in this part Andrew flipped the script and asked her about Hunter.
yea for sure people watch the first 10 min and overreact in the comments
The way I saw it, she was a fan honestly. I think what Andrew does is culturally and morally complex, especially in this era. Undoubtedly some of the questions did come off as pointed but I don't think that was a lack of respect for Andrew it was her trying to get to the core of what makes what he does tick. You even saw how she pulled back the interview immediately after Andrew points out that the question is accusatory she tells him straight up that it is, but she respects him enough to believe he'll be able to represent himself. Even before that she talks about the Don Lemon interview where he was asked similar questions and wasn't given any of the engagement he was given here. They might have gotten off on the wrong foot but I do not think she's some out of touch old woman like streamers and comments are making her out to be.
@@dannybuchanan3661 yea that's how I interpreted it too. like, there are plenty of BAD interviewers out there...this lady doesn't strike me as one of them!
@@Patrick-pu5di absolutely. This was an interesting exchange and I'm happy Andrew was on npr.
7:42 the look to the camera when the interviewer is willfully misinterpreting the point of the film
Yeah I felt like he had noticed me filming and was like “You getting this?”
Huge respect for Andrew. He looks like he's consindering a walk off at a few points.
Andrew is such a genuine person. Even when the cameras aren’t rolling he listens with intention to almost everyone he meets, and I think that’s why he’s so good at what he does.
This comment aged like fucking milk
This is man who watched early Louis Theroux and learned how to get conversation going instead of useless arguments
He absolutely destroyed her
Andrew is a precious asset to the world and needs to be protected.
lol how do younfeel about him nownthat his lie ofna facade of a "good person" is revealed for the serial predator rapist that he is?
I agree 😂
props to everyone who watched this all the way through and saw them finally come to an agreement and find common ground at the end...
This comment by her is a metaphor for this entire interview, except in this scenario, Andrew is the young kid, and she is the adult who can't see what he sees so clearly.
11:30 "The kid was the smartest, most clear-eyed...it was like a child was seeing what seems like a lot of other people couldn't see."
I was just thinking about this during the segment. So funny, what a perfect metaphor.
100% truth.
Yes, and I think Andrew felt that as well. That was a meta moment.
Shout out to the photographer, you panned to the crowd and back with perfect timing whenever there was applause. Good zoom choices too 👏
More conversations like this need to be taking place. Either journalist is clearly uncomfortable but it’s so damn important we keep talking.
100%, and it’s nice to see two people w different viewpoints have a discussion without bringing their emotions into it
Rob is the real hero here.
Absolutely love Andrew's energy. She is doing exactly what has lead to such enormous division is US politics. She is offended by him actively listening to people. He isn't supporting the liberal Vs right wing model of news and it disgusts her.
But they friends by the end 😢
Although the interview felt like it started rocky, I appreciate the NPR interviewer finding common interests with Andrew, like meeting Hunter Thompson and hitch-hiking in her youth. Made the latter half much more playful and fun instead of hammering on the same political fear-mongering points.
Edit: Also awesome job getting this uncut version :D Keep up the great work!
You can tell she's lying about meeting him haha
@@roblofosho .... why? He was active in the 60s and 70s, Robin Young graduated college in 1972. Pretty believable that journalists would meet each other.
What are you basing that on?
It's possible. I only say that because she hesitated and wasn't sure whether to say she has or not.
Andrew handled this like a boss. This woman makes the left look exactly how conservatives imagine all liberals. I hope Andrew can remain fully independent while being successful, because there's obviously a lot of higher-ups who want to maintain their monopoly on journalism and keep the status quo stationary.
It's great to see Robin open up more towards the end when they discuss Hunter Thompson. You can see that sort of mainstream glaze crack and her journalist/talkshow passion come out.
That was honestly a nice fucking moment. Terrible interview otherwise
a couple times it seemed like she actually tales pride in referring to herself/NPR as "mainstream media" like "yea, i finally made it!" not realizing that everyone else distrusts that label as the mouthpieces of political and corporate interests.
I've seen her get a lot of criticism, and while I don't disagree I will say I think asking these questions to Andrew is important, not because I think they're well founded accusations but because his content has a lot of complex nuances and a lot of people especially of an older generation will undoubtedly have these concerns. I think she's done a fantastic job in giving him the space to represent himself and explain his work and his views. I thought it was a great interview.
I want to dislike her, but you've made some good points about her professionalism.
Damn, if we all had Andrew's patience... what a saint
id be COOKING in that seat lol
Great interview. Andrew is really good at letting people play into their own ideological blind spots so they are blazingly clear to the viewer, even in this interview
Lmaooooooo. This side of Andrew is incredible. Handled this so fucking well. 😂😂
ladys had a stroke, when you get old and have nothing bet money to rely on... you eventually turn into this lady. sad soul
CLUTCH, had to search this up so many different ways to find it
all I searched was "andrew callaghan npr" and it was the first result 😂
@@jaredneff5189 he changed the title since 4 hours ago bud
3/15/23 update from Rob: I appreciated Andrew releasing an apology video and I have responded with my own thoughts in another video. I’ve recently been working on my own various videos around Boston, here is the first one in a series on homelessness in Boston: th-cam.com/video/BtzClKm7XYw/w-d-xo.html
1/10/23 update from rob: while filming and posting this video I was not aware of Andrew’s allegations that were emerging. I am not taking down the video, as some asked me, since I still consider it an enlightening (and intense) discussion about the media and divisions in America and the insights Andrew gained interviewing people and making his movie. I hope that he addresses the allegations and uses his position of media attention to set an example for how to respond to these situations, admitting any of his own wrongdoing and allowing others a chance to express their experiences and grievances and chart a path forward. I appreciate how some other interviewers have taken turns picking up the microphone in some of Channel 5’s more recent content this past year, and I hope this trend continues with fresh faces taking up the mantle of journalism and helping to carry Channel 5 forward. I may edit this or post a new pinned comment as information involves.
Definitely need to pin this update comment at the top. It’s already been buried 2 “reloads” down the page.
The new perspective of Andrew's actions puts his treatment of the NPR interviewer in a different light.
Andrew is a gift to humanity, I hope humanity recognizes it.
Who is this? Our lord and savior ? There are many good journalists, and some have paid the ultimate price. Becareful who you build up. The future of media brought to you by HBO. Becareful who you build up.
It's bonkers how trying to understand someone has become problematic.
Andrew may not dunk on a random interviewee, but he can easily dunk on other interviewers with their leading ass questions lol. Oh man, he's such a god damn gem!
Neolibs: we need to focus on actual journalism and get honest interviews out of radicalized right wingers
andrew: *does that without being overly shitty to the interview subjects*
Neolibs: NOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT
It’s truly amazing to watch her brain break in real time when Andrew isn’t fooled by her pointed questioning.
she got taken to school and never even realized it
@@daltonbedore8396 i think she realized it lol her confidence after that exchange noticeably diminished
@@bigf0ot25 which exchange in particular? Watched the whole video but I wanna see the exact moment she breaks lol
@justingreen575 The one at 5:00, she misunderstood Andrew's point about mainstream media, she was saying how can Fox news be mainstream is they lie, failing to see how fox news is mainstream (popular) in part due to lying and radicalising their viewers, which is what the movie is all about.
I think she still carries old hat views mainstream=credible, not the modern understanding mainstream=popular (regardless of veracity of news). You'd think someone living in a capitalist system and industry would understand that distinction, and it's very telling she doesn't, especially as it pertains to the 24 hr modern news cycle.
@@Regulo1d in context of the entire interview its clear she likes the label "mainstream media" for herself and really her ego cant process that other people view being "mainstream media" as a negative, untrustworthy label. i think that her ego really limited her ability to learn about what young people think "mainstream" means
Andrew turned being interviewed into doing the interview. Fucking legend.
I love seeing him do what I dreamed of at his age.
It's never too late to grab something to record your thoughts, be it a pen and paper, or a cellphone, and go out and talk to people.
this needs to go viral. a great example of modern day problems with ideological thought bubbles, and cognitive biases.
Love how the audience was clearly there for him.
the best part of this interview is that when she starts the Hunter S Thompson bit near the end Andrew compliments her. regardless of how the first half of the interview went he still buys in and gives her respect for finding the right lane.
this convo had big kid explaining to their mom type energy
She really warms to him by the end despite being quite hostile in the beginning. Was lovely to see. Andrew is the truth!
this interview is a perfect example of how NPR weaponizes their soft-spoken "NPR voice". Lady says the most ridiculous/callous things but it's ok because she's soft spoken.
a thousand times yes. it feel’s so maddening
And the standard issue horn-rimmed, cat eye "smart person" glasses.
Idk, I kind of agree with her on some points. The movie did jump between trump supporters and Biden supporters. The far right believe democrats eat babies, the far left believes in income equality. The two aren’t comparable at all.
"You don't correct them in real time"
Yes, because Andrew doesn't pretend to he the arbiter of truth like MSM.
At least the audience is with Andrew!
Well done Rob for releasing this. Amazing interview! Huge Andrew Callaghan & channel 5 news fan! The more he's interviewed by the mainstream the more I love him!
This is a good interview haha. I get it was awkward and annoying for him to do but he says a lot of good shit because of the questions he was asked. She was way out of pocket a few times but it didn't feel malicious. She's old and liberal but she felt genuinely curious to me.
For anyone curious, the interview she's referencing starting at 15:30 seems to be from the Stranger, and Andrew says “They say imitation is the highest form of flattery, but I just disagree about stealing art in general. I’m not going to say I own that interview style, but yeah it doesn’t flatter me at all. Every city has a copycat." Title of the article is "All Gas No Brakes Has Died, but Seattle's Own Andrew Callaghan Has Been Resurrected".
i can’t give enough credit to andrew for confronting all these awful gotcha questions that have no basis, would have just walked off but this guy took them all, answered with class and actual information. NPR lib brain hits harder than the Q out in boston lmao
I mean, that's his job now. Like, I don't think questioning his reasoning for partying with Alex Jones is a "gotcha" so much as a "I genuinely don't get it, please explain." He's gonna continue to get questions like this from old farts; better to walk them through it then to get defensive about it. Otherwise it just becomes another echo chamber of reflexively writing these people off and not addressing criticism.
Now the real lib-brain moment was her saying Fox News wasn't mainstream.. Lady, you just said 40% of Americans think the election was probably stolen. Meanwhile Tucker Carlson has the highest viewership of any cable news program. That is by definition, the fucking mainstream now.
Actual journalists should ask about Alex Jones
@@residentgiantshes a desk journalist, very obviously
@@residentgiant absolutely - how damn stupid does a person have to be to claim that the most popular cable news network in the country isn't mainstream? It's the MOST mainstream! (A fact that's both sad and pathetic, yes - but it's still a fact.)
@@residentgiant then she should've started off the question: "I'm curious... how did that happen?" instead of the slanted, negative, wrist-slapping framing of her original question
It is so crazy that she speaks about not becoming Us vs them, but then short after, she put herself in the category of "us"
Her hostility is putting Andrew visibly off and that says enough, hostility doesn't get you answers.
Thank you Rob for allowing people to see how much NPR sucks when they can’t edit everything to sound they way that they want it to.
23:47 best part of the interview
They finally found something to vibe on
i actually enjoyed the conversation and you have to give the woman credit for letting the interviewee talk over her when he wanted to. "call me old school..." at the very least she is self-aware.
Old school is interesting. I’m 21 and it must be generational because I feels appropriate to me. Perhaps it is because of how aggressive her questions are. Especially if you watch his channel, he is not known for interrupting people.
I was blown away by how he used her interest in Hunter Thompson to turn the interview around and start interviewing *her*. The conversation suddenly get's more personal, real, and interesting. Truly it shows the best of his nonjudgmental way of talking to someone. Like she tossed any number of bullshit questions his way, and yet he STILL manages to come off as kind and willing to have a dialog and connect.
People are dunking on the interviewer... I kind of feel differently. She seems to attempt to challenge him even though she is very complementary of what he's doing and the movie. It's not bad to challenge someone on maybe if the way it's unprofessional in certain ways or can put people in a better light. However his answers reaffirm that his style gets him in the door and let's people talk which is so important. I think he came out looking great and she did a good job because she got some good answers out of him and it wasn't just fluff.
