Donald Trump and Brad Parscale ran one of the most efficient campaigns in US History. They under spent the competition, yet dominated the landscape. The Interviewer doesn't seem to understand how that could be possible, he also almost started crying at one point.
They are incapable of accepting that there was no nefarious game being played in 2016. They literally can not believe that it was just an extremely well ran campaign with a message that resonated with 10s of millions.
Very common technique among the media. The interviewer seemed incredulous that Trump supporters would share new content independently of the algorithm.
You describe what the problem is today with people who pose as "Journalists". They're not. They're ineffective propagandists who don't respect human intellect.
Agreed. This guy has almost a disgusting amount of information on how they managed to do what they did. He has said in other interviews that they were able to learn what shade of blue people are more likely to view, what word they were more likely to follow through and donate money to, what color of icon you were going to click on. Whoever directed this interview #1 did not do their research And #2 did not understand who they were speaking to in the context of this article. I pray whoever did this stupid interview was fired.

They will always underestimate people like Brad Parscale, because they think conservatives are stupid. I'm sure the only reason Brad would divulge this much information in an interview is because he's already a light-year ahead in planning 2020. No way facebook has the same utility in the next election, as other platforms have exploded in the last few years. And if facebook decides to lose money just to help the Democrat win, then their shareholders will destroy them for it.
Brad Parscale interviews and presents his facts well. The interviewer controlled his emotions well enough to maintain a discussion but unfortunately came across a whiny. He clearly wasn’t ready to accept that others have a different opinion and the election results were not Facebook’s fault. We’re all adults. We can think for ourselves. The problem is that there are sore, immature people on both sides of this debate. The minute a debate turns emotional, I tune it out. I really wish we could have open conversations where people don’t feel the need to denegrate others just to feel better about themselves. So sad.
It's a weird premise to an argument. Leftists are asking others to stipulate that information in and of itself has the power to compel. That Trump saying/tweeting something forces others to act irrationally/against their own interests. And their solution is to mandate internet blinders. What is wrong with these people

Actually no. He doesn't accuse brad of anything. He disagrees but doesn't accuse. This interview is so significant. To another tech parson, whi gets it, the shit brad did was very illegal. At 28 minutes it would seem he merges the words( russia election )campaign. The backdoored that content and still have execs from cambrige analytica. This guy may or may not be in serious trouble.
Brad shits on him so many ways. he seems bored halfway through, where in the beginning you can see him being reallly engaged and looking to take him apart. dude got the job because hes gay and no one wanted to tell him he sucks, because hes trash. honestly. trash interviewer.
As expected, the interviewer is a liberal and constantly tries his best to get Brad in gotcha questions and keeps pushing a certain narrative, instead of asking fair and challenging questions. Good job Mr. Parscale for explaining how President, then candidate Trump's ability to connect to the American people, and how he won the Presidency. The left still doesn't get it.
Why is it that any questioning to you it's automatically "the liberal media"? You obviously lost really big in the midterms, more so than even in 2010. A lot of people regret the decision, and the upcoming criminal proceedings, and successful convictions of many Trump's associates will only exacerbate their position for 2020. You can live off this victory on 2016 until this midterm, because honestly America seems to have turned on your boy.
The danger of asking fair and challenging questions is that the narrative of the interviewer would be destroyed. As others have said, the prime example is the interviewer's blatant dismissal of Obama's organization using information as being acceptable, BUT when Cambridge Analytical did it, it was evil. And Mr. Parscale pointing out the inconsistency of the interviewer PROVES the willingness to present Fake News or opinion as fact. Unbelievable...
Eddie Bustamante the GOP did not lose more than the Democrats in 2010. Where are you getting your information? GOP retained the Senate which only happened 3 or 4 times in history, in 2010 Dems lost 63 house and 6 senate seats and in 2014 lost another 13 house and a staggering 9 senate seats. Just wanted to clear up your confusion
@@ChristopherPausz Thanks for clearing that up, but nonetheless the voter turnout was the largest in a non-presidential election year. Dems have the House which means a lot of the investigations that Trump was blocking with his minions will now be exposed. You had your time wasted with Benghazi and Fast and Furious now let's see some real investigations.
@@Goodkidjr43 Obama has nothing to do with Trump and his "victory", if someone wants to bring up charges against Hillary, Obama, and anyone you had 2 years with a majority in government but nothing happened. Hillary and Obama are taking nice walks in the countryside.
They're always so aggressive. Parscale laid out his opinions in a very calm manner (being the literal No. 1 source closest to Trump) but they can't help but get angry and try to argue.
@@MotleyPoo Yup, it's like these folks don't know how to "just" report what happened, and can't stop themselves from adding an opinion. Like I care what this interviewer thinks. It's not about the interviewer's opinion or even the female producer that could not help herself from interrupting. Ask your questions, and stop trying to make a point. Frontline used to be better than this. Who retired? On another note did you notice that wierd editing with the second camera. That was shoddy too.
I'd like to see more of Brad Parscale but I don't think I'll see many more interviews after this. Parscale calmly took a broadsword to this lying beta.
I'm a Liberal and I have felt since the 1990s that the news media is extremely problematic and harmful. And around August before the 2016 election I was deeply distressed because I had no mainstream news source that I could trust.The media need to address this, and how they have an inherent conflict in selling outrage to pay the bills vs. trying to inform the populace. This is nothing new and it's absurd that the reporter seems to really believe that there isn't a problem with news media. Neil Postman wrote "Amusing Ourselves to Death" back in the 1980s. He was deeply critical of the whole business model around news media. It's not a left/right, Dem/GOP issue. It's the business model that demands that news be served up in random tidbits of outrage. William Grieder published "Who Will Tell the People" in 1992. It contains lots of critique of news media and the shenanigans they pull to get attention and pay the bills. It's undeniable. Completely undeniable. The news media are like professional wrestling before they finally admitted that it was all choreographed. The news media need to fess up. Admit that they're entertainers.
Thank you. If we can agree that the media is a problem we can start to mend this country. I voted for Trump because I didn't want the same old nonsense that hasn't worked for decades. Time for a change!
@@konfunable LOL @ dumbest in the world. That's why we run it, right? We've got our share of stupid but coming from a hispanic like yourself that is rich!
@@timothyandrewnielsen Hispanic?? hahhahaha... Europeans say 'Muricans are retarded and seeing your example it is certainly true :DD Hispanic... What a moron.
Excel On Fire Amen. We look at politics as a sport. The mainstream media is, for some reason, seen by people on the Left as part of their team. I have no idea why they would trust them when they dutifully follow the script written for them by the CIA, Pentagon, and well-connected corporate cronies. But they do. The people on the Right do the same thing with Fox News, ONN, etc. There’s very little independent thought going on out there. Just fans supporting “their team.” If people on the Left want their concerns addressed-and as a libertarian I actually share many of those concerns-they’re going to have to get over the comfortable idea that the status quo is essentially fine and that it just might need a few tweaks. People on the Right, with whom I also share many concerns, need to do the same. And that’s why Trump won. It wasn’t because the people who voted for Obama suddenly became evil racists overnight because Trump made them afraid of minorities. It wasn’t because “Russians rigged the election.” It wasn’t even entirely because Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate who didn’t connect with voters and didn’t listen to her advisors. It was because people are sick of the slick packaged carefully shaped messaging coming from status quo politicians, bureaucrats, and media figures. Americans are sick of the crap. Everyone needs to believe what they want to believe. Make a passionate honest case for it. Even if we disagree we’ll all learn something. And we might even look at things differently and change our minds. But don’t hide behind smoke and mirrors, tired cliches, and question begging. I’d much rather hear a sincere transparent defense of something I disagree with than be patronized by J-school grads who couldn’t run the fryer at a McDonalds.
Life becomes so much easier once you decided you'll only speak the truth, not do politics and Brad Pascale shows us and PBS how it's done. He's a great guy who has done a great job!
@43:00 your interviewer is embarrassing himself. It’s all downhill from there. Once your interviewer is arguing on behalf of Obama campaign data harvesting (@53:00), you’ve lost the plot. You’re an advocate, not a journalist.
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf during the lockdown =)
Great interview. I enjoy Frontline. I felt there was a little too much presumption on the part of the interviewer about what he would bring to light if he only could reword the same question repeatedly. What I took away was that Parscale is a very intelligent person and performed his role superbly. While I have little hope this interview will change the perception by certain folks clinging to the self-serving delusion that the election was "stolen by the Russians," it certainly reinforced to me that our own media and political tactics did far more than any "bad actors" could have dreamed of accomplishing in confusing the electorate and influencing the outcome of the 2016 election. btw, Frontline, now do Reddit if you want to see true manipulation.
Frontline, you couldn't find a more informed or better prepared interviewer for this? It's pathetic. Thank you, Brad Parscale, for a very informative and straightforward conversation. This was extremely interesting and enlightening. Thank you, Frontline, for posting the entire video.
This was an excellent interview! Love how well he articulated himself. The interviewer gave him time to do so, was respectful, and still challenged him (as they should). There was a lot of useful information that was able to come out of this interview. Half thru the interview tho, he mentions how Trump was trying to reach a certain demographic of people and assure them that he would make the changes needed to better their lives. As someone who lives on in a Republican, rural area of the country, after 4yrs of him in office, there is no difference in my life. Nor did I expect there to be on because that's not how this works.
Let me put this in bigger print...BRAD PARSCALE HANDED THE REPORTER HIS A$$! The reporter should have just came out in the beginning and said, "I hate Trump, I hate anything to do with him, simply because it has to do with him, even if it is a good thing, I still hate Trump" goodness, this reporters bias proved exactly what Brad was saying! Thanks for sharing this though, you made Brad Parscale even more awesome! I mean, he's right..folks get to see his ads for free, why would he get upset? This reporter needs to pick his tail back up glue it back on, and be better prepared the next time he wants to question someone more intelligent than him! Then again, I'm not sure he will recover from this. Maybe..
Man is this focused on "Facebook" or what? I haven't even signed up for that site yet! I don't even know how the heck it works... How did they account for my Trump vote then? Lol
They can talk about Algorithms, climbing content, A.I, viewers, bandwidth or technology, this guy KNOWS how internet works, this guy knows what he is doing and knows what he is talking about, you can hear it, straight to the point, no hesitation and the truth, what actually happened and why it happened. Brad doesn't try to minimize or bully the interviewer, Brad doesn't try and brag about himself, he is speaking purely from experience, honesty and the facts he knows to be true. I didn't know this guy existed until today but now I understand that even-tho Trump was the key, undoubtedly, he didn't win the election alone.
It was painful listening to this interview. I definitely have to applaud Brad for having the patients and the tact to quietly tear this authoritarian leftist apart.
The most interactions on facebook stories come from right-wing outlets on facebook, and facebook's top donors are consistently conservative. And let's not forget Sheryl Sandberg perpetuating the maga chuds' obsession with George Soros by demanding his investigation. fact don't care about your feelings, pisschugger.
@@JohnnySplendid first time I'm hearing that most interactions in Facebook are right wing. The entire company and tech companies in general are left leaning. What donors? Facebook gets donations?
Nothing remarkable in the content. Not for us Conservatives. What is remarkable, is a Leftist platform allowing a strong Conservative voice a substantial opportunity to counter a typical and ubiquitous Leftist narrative. As a number of us Conservatives so often lament, they (Leftists) can't square off and compete, which is why they so often opt for removing us from the playing field. I myself have had my FB account crippled (without notice) to the point where I closed it altogether. And I have been shadow banned by TH-cam (again without notice) when commenting on certain posts.
Parscale is a great man and I admire him. The interviewer is amateurish, unprepared and simply embarrassing. The narrative they are trying to push is utterly pathetic. The audio is even bad. Frontline producers should be ashamed. Parscale is an extraordinary leader.
In the interview with Andrew Anker, the interviewer, James Jacoby, is a little more controlled in his responses to the critique of news media. His frustration still shows through, but he's not gasping, and sighing "Oh, c'mon!" and questioning "do you really believe that?"
How does this guy warrant a confrontational interview in any manor. This was a chance to LEARN from someone else. Ask PROBING, informative questions, not the 3rd grade Inquisitor making this guy look like Jordan Freak'n Peterson. I'm going to "like" this because of how badly the Humanities have hurt PBS.
Does this reporter understand the concept of a "line of questioning"? He dove back and forth between topics at a breakneck speed, all while positioning his questions is classic liberal journalist "gotcha" formats. The perpetual attempts by the reporter to insert a narrative where the campaign was performing unethical acts to generate attention on Facebook was laughable. He was completely ill-prepared to ask questions of someone who obviously knows his craft. If leftists, coastal elites, and media types can't see what he was doing, its because you don't want to see it.
Please award Brad Parscale The Patriot Patience trophy! I would've cut and run long before 75 minutes of an inferior intellect attempting to pigeon hole me into statements he could spin against the POTUS! What a guy!! WHAT A BRAIN! America needs more Brad Parscale.
In journalism school back in the old days you were taught to relate the most pertinent and factual information first and the lesser details followed thereafter and to never have sentences that began with "I" or any other variation of declarative opinion.Sources should be named, never anonymous and if they are not directly related to the subject, should be ignored and left out of the articles completely. No concrete verifiable source. No story. The article should be structured like a triangle. Opinion pieces, editorials and fiction are taught to be written like an inverted triangle. The least important details first, sprinkling in information as you go along to finally come to the point at the end. We live in an era where media "reports" in the inverted biased triangle.
This is legitimately one of the least professional interviewers I’ve does seen. “Does it piss you off that bad actors used Facebook as well?” Lol, are you kidding?
The left doesn't think that people can take in multiple positions on a topic and make up their own minds provided the information. Everything needs to be filtered so that only "politically correct" opinions that fit the Neolib/Neocon narrative is the only information people are allowed to consume.
Interviews like this are gold. There's no left leaning person viewing this and coming out feeling any more correct or victimized. Anyone in the middle or on the right just sees through the bullshit and learns a whole lot. Everything the interviewer would have preferred they not learn.
Update: could see this interviewer paying good money to have the muffler bearings on his vehicle replaced no questions asked so long as the mechanic had the right referral.
No, its a type of speak that each is doing on purpose. They realize what each is saying. They're both educated in professional and HR speak, and this is a legitimate method of positivising their own position.
Brad is an incredible source of knowledge......and this idiot running this frontline project blew it. You wasted his extreme wealth of knowledge for what? To pretend he’s advancing your narrative??? Do you still not understand what they did? And how they did it???? You asked ALL the wrong questions. This was a Terrible “interview”

Brad shits on him so many ways. he seems bored halfway through, where in the beginning you can see him being reallly engaged and looking to take him apart. dude got the job because hes gay and no one wanted to tell him he sucks, because hes trash. honestly. trash interviewer.
Self-awareness is not at or near the top of the list of traits found in great abundance among NPCs.
Parscale is a bright dude, did laps around the whiny beta male asking questions. Very fascinating to watch!
This guy is smart as a whip. Smart enough not to need a fake lisp and half a gay accent to do his job.
Why does our tax money go to PBS?
Because this drivel would NEVER make it on it's own merit!
@@soccermom1245 You obviously haven't watched CNN lately!
it doesn't go to PBS . the government contributes very little to PBS. The american people make PBS happen by direct contribution.. u wrong
Don’t worry, youre paying more I taxes than our “millionaire” president
As expected, the interviewer is a liberal and constantly tries his best to get Brad in gotcha questions and keeps pushing a certain narrative, instead of asking fair and challenging questions. Good job Mr. Parscale for explaining how President, then candidate Trump's ability to connect to the American people, and how he won the Presidency. The left still doesn't get it.
Why is it that any questioning to you it's automatically "the liberal media"? You obviously lost really big in the midterms, more so than even in 2010. A lot of people regret the decision, and the upcoming criminal proceedings, and successful convictions of many Trump's associates will only exacerbate their position for 2020.
You can live off this victory on 2016 until this midterm, because honestly America seems to have turned on your boy.
The danger of asking fair and challenging questions is that the narrative of the interviewer would be destroyed.
As others have said, the prime example is the interviewer's blatant dismissal of Obama's organization using information as being acceptable, BUT when Cambridge Analytical did it, it was evil. And Mr. Parscale pointing out the inconsistency of the interviewer PROVES the willingness to present Fake News or opinion as fact. Unbelievable...
Eddie Bustamante the GOP did not lose more than the Democrats in 2010. Where are you getting your information? GOP retained the Senate which only happened 3 or 4 times in history, in 2010 Dems lost 63 house and 6 senate seats and in 2014 lost another 13 house and a staggering 9 senate seats. Just wanted to clear up your confusion
@@ChristopherPausz Thanks for clearing that up, but nonetheless the voter turnout was the largest in a non-presidential election year. Dems have the House which means a lot of the investigations that Trump was blocking with his minions will now be exposed. You had your time wasted with Benghazi and Fast and Furious now let's see some real investigations.
@@Goodkidjr43 Obama has nothing to do with Trump and his "victory", if someone wants to bring up charges against Hillary, Obama, and anyone you had 2 years with a majority in government but nothing happened.
Hillary and Obama are taking nice walks in the countryside.
the gall to still be called "public" broadcasting.
1:10:00 Holy hell. Put that dude in his place.
The Interviewer was just floored, he didn't even stand a chance.
Yes, well done Brad Parscale, Just simply reporting the facts is so much better than being a pawn of the left any day.
@@mikeremboldt3120 lol😅
I can see how it would seem that way, if you've suffered a recent TBI.
Sorry, but the interviewer was unprofessional. Not Cool Frontline. Not Cool.
They're always so aggressive. Parscale laid out his opinions in a very calm manner (being the literal No. 1 source closest to Trump) but they can't help but get angry and try to argue.
@@MotleyPoo Yup, it's like these folks don't know how to "just" report what happened, and can't stop themselves from adding an opinion. Like I care what this interviewer thinks. It's not about the interviewer's opinion or even the female producer that could not help herself from interrupting. Ask your questions, and stop trying to make a point. Frontline used to be better than this. Who retired? On another note did you notice that wierd editing with the second camera. That was shoddy too.
Horrible interviewer.
remember to leave a dislike
@@stupidminotaur9735 Brad did well. They're not used to people that don't respond to bullying.
I'd like to see more of Brad Parscale but I don't think I'll see many more interviews after this. Parscale calmly took a broadsword to this lying beta.
This video will probably get taken down for violence because the reporter got straight verbally murdered by Parscale.
@@ellegaunt someone who beats on women because he's insecure and a tiny little 7ft scared little boy. 😑
I'm a Liberal and I have felt since the 1990s that the news media is extremely problematic and harmful. And around August before the 2016 election I was deeply distressed because I had no mainstream news source that I could trust.The media need to address this, and how they have an inherent conflict in selling outrage to pay the bills vs. trying to inform the populace.
This is nothing new and it's absurd that the reporter seems to really believe that there isn't a problem with news media. Neil Postman wrote "Amusing Ourselves to Death" back in the 1980s. He was deeply critical of the whole business model around news media. It's not a left/right, Dem/GOP issue. It's the business model that demands that news be served up in random tidbits of outrage.
William Grieder published "Who Will Tell the People" in 1992. It contains lots of critique of news media and the shenanigans they pull to get attention and pay the bills. It's undeniable. Completely undeniable.
The news media are like professional wrestling before they finally admitted that it was all choreographed. The news media need to fess up. Admit that they're entertainers.
Be Liberal, but not Democrat.
Thank you. If we can agree that the media is a problem we can start to mend this country. I voted for Trump because I didn't want the same old nonsense that hasn't worked for decades. Time for a change!
@@konfunable LOL @ dumbest in the world. That's why we run it, right? We've got our share of stupid but coming from a hispanic like yourself that is rich!
@@timothyandrewnielsen Hispanic?? hahhahaha... Europeans say 'Muricans are retarded and seeing your example it is certainly true :DD Hispanic... What a moron.

Amen.
We look at politics as a sport. The mainstream media is, for some reason, seen by people on the Left as part of their team. I have no idea why they would trust them when they dutifully follow the script written for them by the CIA, Pentagon, and well-connected corporate cronies. But they do. The people on the Right do the same thing with Fox News, ONN, etc. There’s very little independent thought going on out there. Just fans supporting “their team.”
If people on the Left want their concerns addressed-and as a libertarian I actually share many of those concerns-they’re going to have to get over the comfortable idea that the status quo is essentially fine and that it just might need a few tweaks. People on the Right, with whom I also share many concerns, need to do the same.
And that’s why Trump won. It wasn’t because the people who voted for Obama suddenly became evil racists overnight because Trump made them afraid of minorities. It wasn’t because “Russians rigged the election.” It wasn’t even entirely because Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate who didn’t connect with voters and didn’t listen to her advisors. It was because people are sick of the slick packaged carefully shaped messaging coming from status quo politicians, bureaucrats, and media figures.
Americans are sick of the crap. Everyone needs to believe what they want to believe. Make a passionate honest case for it. Even if we disagree we’ll all learn something. And we might even look at things differently and change our minds. But don’t hide behind smoke and mirrors, tired cliches, and question begging. I’d much rather hear a sincere transparent defense of something I disagree with than be patronized by J-school grads who couldn’t run the fryer at a McDonalds.
Donald Trump and his people absolutely found a diamond in the rough.
This guy made psyop for Pres bone spurs, dirt bag commander of idiots.
Brad Parscale is a beast, I admire the way he answered, collected, straight forward, calm and no BS.
Life becomes so much easier once you decided you'll only speak the truth, not do politics and Brad Pascale shows us and PBS how it's done. He's a great guy who has done a great job!
@43:00 your interviewer is embarrassing himself. It’s all downhill from there. Once your interviewer is arguing on behalf of Obama campaign data harvesting (@53:00), you’ve lost the plot. You’re an advocate, not a journalist.
PBS is biased. Even though they say they aren’t. They’re disgraceful
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf during the lockdown =)
@Aaron Lincoln Yea, I have been using instaflixxer for since november myself :)
When the interviewer is on the defense, it speaks volumes!!!
BRAD THE IMPALER
Philip Taylor Good one! 👍🏻
Dude tried his best to smear Brad and to put words into his mouth.
Great interview. I enjoy Frontline. I felt there was a little too much presumption on the part of the interviewer about what he would bring to light if he only could reword the same question repeatedly. What I took away was that Parscale is a very intelligent person and performed his role superbly. While I have little hope this interview will change the perception by certain folks clinging to the self-serving delusion that the election was "stolen by the Russians," it certainly reinforced to me that our own media and political tactics did far more than any "bad actors" could have dreamed of accomplishing in confusing the electorate and influencing the outcome of the 2016 election.
btw, Frontline, now do Reddit if you want to see true manipulation.
Yeah. Do an interview of David Brock.
As a Trump supporter, I had almost forgotten people with a sound mind existed in the middle that comment on youtube. Have a nice weekend.
The interviewer keeps hitting a brick wall, but he keeps going after it. Parscale has the patience of a saint.
Excellent!
He is so focused and precise in his work!
So glad Potus has such profesionals on his staff....
Pascal absolutely destroyed the narrative of the interviewer.
I still to this day do not subscribe to the communist owned Facebook. But i am the President's number one fan.....
The interviewer didn't even have the knowledge for this interview. Bias was also pretty obvious. Anyway, Parscale did an excellent job!
I ♥️ Brad Parscale..
"People didn't vote for Hillary even though we told them too! What did you do to trick them?"
The reporter kept asking the same questions with different wording with a clear agenda. He still gets calmly and intelligently annihilated. I love it.
Frontline, you couldn't find a more informed or better prepared interviewer for this? It's pathetic. Thank you, Brad Parscale, for a very informative and straightforward conversation. This was extremely interesting and enlightening. Thank you, Frontline, for posting the entire video.
Activism disguised as journalism.
This was an excellent interview! Love how well he articulated himself. The interviewer gave him time to do so, was respectful, and still challenged him (as they should). There was a lot of useful information that was able to come out of this interview.
Half thru the interview tho, he mentions how Trump was trying to reach a certain demographic of people and assure them that he would make the changes needed to better their lives. As someone who lives on in a Republican, rural area of the country, after 4yrs of him in office, there is no difference in my life. Nor did I expect there to be on because that's not how this works.
Very good. Thank you for sharing.
How many times does he have to explain what "Shock and Awe" means??? I'm 6 mins in and the question has been asked 6 times.
because it's a military term and not being used in a military context, so it's fucking confusing, dumbass.
Let me put this in bigger print...BRAD PARSCALE HANDED THE REPORTER HIS A$$! The reporter should have just came out in the beginning and said, "I hate Trump, I hate anything to do with him, simply because it has to do with him, even if it is a good thing, I still hate Trump" goodness, this reporters bias proved exactly what Brad was saying! Thanks for sharing this though, you made Brad Parscale even more awesome! I mean, he's right..folks get to see his ads for free, why would he get upset? This reporter needs to pick his tail back up glue it back on, and be better prepared the next time he wants to question someone more intelligent than him! Then again, I'm not sure he will recover from this. Maybe..
Parscale handled this interview well.
Man is this focused on "Facebook" or what? I haven't even signed up for that site yet! I don't even know how the heck it works... How did they account for my Trump vote then? Lol
They accounted for your Trump vote based on the idiotic things you say in comment sections.

When Becky, at the end, tried to swoop in for the rescue and got shot down as well, that was too funny.
They can talk about Algorithms, climbing content, A.I, viewers, bandwidth or technology, this guy KNOWS how internet works, this guy knows what he is doing and knows what he is talking about, you can hear it, straight to the point, no hesitation and the truth, what actually happened and why it happened. Brad doesn't try to minimize or bully the interviewer, Brad doesn't try and brag about himself, he is speaking purely from experience, honesty and the facts he knows to be true.
I didn't know this guy existed until today but now I understand that even-tho Trump was the key, undoubtedly, he didn't win the election alone.
This was a very insightful presentation of left and right. Brad Parscale did a great job of answering with truth.
Hats off to Brad Parscale, he owned this interview. I am already a conservative, but this interview made me even more conservative...
I love hearing the interviewer stutter... He is being forced to think and it is audible haha Love it.
Brad Parscale is a champ
It was painful listening to this interview. I definitely have to applaud Brad for having the patients and the tact to quietly tear this authoritarian leftist apart.
I see Brad as exactly the man for the job at the right time.
They don’t call him “Brad the Impaler” for nothing
Brad offers a simple, easy way to block foreign adds and STILL gets a "Right, but" stammer from this anti-curious anti-thinker.
this type of interview style and the interviewer himself is one example of what is wrong with the American so called press.
Outstanding journalism there...not one sided at all. /s
One of the better interviews. Most of it didn't make it into show because it didn't fit the narrative about Facebook show wanted to present.
In a lot of ways this interview contradicts episode narrative
The most interactions on facebook stories come from right-wing outlets on facebook, and facebook's top donors are consistently conservative. And let's not forget Sheryl Sandberg perpetuating the maga chuds' obsession with George Soros by demanding his investigation. fact don't care about your feelings, pisschugger.
@@JohnnySplendid first time I'm hearing that most interactions in Facebook are right wing. The entire company and tech companies in general are left leaning. What donors? Facebook gets donations?
This is the show, moron.
See how easy it is to break through the fake news? Dude tore the interviewer to shreds with honesty.
I'm only a quarter through and this guy is seriously impressive. Incredibly intelligent guy.
Nothing remarkable in the content. Not for us Conservatives.
What is remarkable, is a Leftist platform allowing a strong Conservative voice a substantial opportunity to counter a typical and ubiquitous Leftist narrative.
As a number of us Conservatives so often lament, they (Leftists) can't square off and compete, which is why they so often opt for removing us from the playing field.
I myself have had my FB account crippled (without notice) to the point where I closed it altogether. And I have been shadow banned by TH-cam (again without notice) when commenting on certain posts.
Brad Paracale is Takashi 69 to Frontline's Breakfast Club; a momentous disconnect between interviewer and phenomenon.
Parscale is a great man and I admire him. The interviewer is amateurish, unprepared and simply embarrassing. The narrative they are trying to push is utterly pathetic. The audio is even bad. Frontline producers should be ashamed. Parscale is an extraordinary leader.
I'm 1 hour and 1 minute into this video and the "journalist" is still asking the same questions, still refusing clear answers.
Tag Teaming Brad from off camera now??!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
In the interview with Andrew Anker, the interviewer, James Jacoby, is a little more controlled in his responses to the critique of news media. His frustration still shows through, but he's not gasping, and sighing "Oh, c'mon!" and questioning "do you really believe that?"
This is an incredible man. Most people do not appreciate the extent of what he accomplished in 2016. Especially this journalist.
Well done Brad. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Brad Parscale has to be the most patient person I’ve ever witnessed in an interview.
Excellent interview.
How does this guy warrant a confrontational interview in any manor. This was a chance to LEARN from someone else. Ask PROBING, informative questions, not the 3rd grade Inquisitor making this guy look like Jordan Freak'n Peterson. I'm going to "like" this because of how badly the Humanities have hurt PBS.
Does this reporter understand the concept of a "line of questioning"? He dove back and forth between topics at a breakneck speed, all while positioning his questions is classic liberal journalist "gotcha" formats. The perpetual attempts by the reporter to insert a narrative where the campaign was performing unethical acts to generate attention on Facebook was laughable. He was completely ill-prepared to ask questions of someone who obviously knows his craft. If leftists, coastal elites, and media types can't see what he was doing, its because you don't want to see it.
Not a Trumpist... but Brad won this round.
Please award Brad Parscale The Patriot Patience trophy! I would've cut and run long before 75 minutes of an inferior intellect attempting to pigeon hole me into statements he could spin against the POTUS! What a guy!! WHAT A BRAIN! America needs more Brad Parscale.
In journalism school back in the old days you were taught to relate the most pertinent and factual information first and the lesser details followed thereafter and to never have sentences that began with "I" or any other variation of declarative opinion.Sources should be named, never anonymous and if they are not directly related to the subject, should be ignored and left out of the articles completely. No concrete verifiable source. No story. The article should be structured like a triangle. Opinion pieces, editorials and fiction are taught to be written like an inverted triangle. The least important details first, sprinkling in information as you go along to finally come to the point at the end. We live in an era where media "reports" in the inverted biased triangle.
Brad Parscale is a genius.
1:11:20 - WTH , did they bring in another interviewer or did the first one lose his nuts.
both
Did he actually ask the question, "Does it piss you off,.. " We need to cut funding for PBS now.. maybe sell the assets to OANN
Brad Parscale is brilliant!
Brad, you were amazing in this interview!
This is legitimately one of the least professional interviewers I’ve does seen.
“Does it piss you off that bad actors used Facebook as well?”
Lol, are you kidding?
The left doesn't think that people can take in multiple positions on a topic and make up their own minds provided the information. Everything needs to be filtered so that only "politically correct" opinions that fit the Neolib/Neocon narrative is the only information people are allowed to consume.
This guy just gave a Marketing Masterclass. I feel like I'm back in school listening to my digital marketing professor.
This guy sounds like he's about to cry, especially towards the end. He actually thinks that Trump won because of Russian interference. What a weirdo.
Parscale should be charging them for the information.
Excellent job Brad!!!
Interviews like this are gold. There's no left leaning person viewing this and coming out feeling any more correct or victimized. Anyone in the middle or on the right just sees through the bullshit and learns a whole lot. Everything the interviewer would have preferred they not learn.
Wow PBS, you got your reporters ass handed to him. Looking forward to what comes next in the new year! You can't stop the world wide movement!
Spoiler alert. The questions only get more insufferable the longer you watch. The level of disconnect here is just stunning. Wow wow.
Update: could see this interviewer paying good money to have the muffler bearings on his vehicle replaced no questions asked so long as the mechanic had the right referral.
Trump 2020 baby!!!
Every time the interviewer asks about "divisiveness," Parscale answers with a reference to "decisiveness." Trains running on two different tracks.
No, its a type of speak that each is doing on purpose. They realize what each is saying. They're both educated in professional and HR speak, and this is a legitimate method of positivising their own position.
TRUMP2020!!!!
It is sad that Brad had to school him on freedom of speech!!
Brad is a genius this reporter look like Maxine , Pelosi and AOC together
So 3 years in we have discovered the Trump team ran a good campaign?
I only liked this video because Brad is so well spoken and intelligent. This reporter is a liberal activist.
I love the mental gymnastics this guy performs to rationalize the conflicting statements that come out of his own mouth.
Holy attempted hit piece swatted down. No wonder your called the Enemy of the People.
The interviewer was knowledgeable compared to most people and could sell his narrative to most people but he was outclassed by Parscale.
Mr Parscale is sharp.
Brad is an incredible source of knowledge......and this idiot running this frontline project blew it. You wasted his extreme wealth of knowledge for what? To pretend he’s advancing your narrative??? Do you still not understand what they did? And how they did it???? You asked ALL the wrong questions. This was a Terrible “interview”
Onlinemamam Wom ... but Brad owned it! 😇

You got rolled and smoked PBS. Lmfao.
