I don't really follow Jordan Peterson much and after you watch a couple of speeches that he gives he kind of starts to sound like a broken record. However, he has (or was) become a target for liberal journalists as they attempt to paint him as one of the bad guys. I don't know their motivation behind this but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact the he doesn't follow the leftist script. Anyway, I think he is brilliant for one main reason: He can so successfully avoid baited questions from interviewers that have an objective of making him slip up.

The interview in question took place some time ago, but it is still solid gold today. It was between Jordan Peterson and Cathy Newman and I guess Cathy Newman is famous in the U.K..... i had never heard of her before.
Throughout the interview she asks loaded questions in an attempt to get Jordan to say something misogynistic and he never takes the bait. He is very concise and careful in his responses, and even points this out to her at one point (that he must be "very careful in the words he chooses to use.")

Of course all of these memes are just made up dialogue that never took place during the interview but they aren't much more absurd than the tactics that Cathy employs to attempt to put words in Peterson's mouth.
At one point during the (i guess it was live or they would have edited this out) Cathy Newman gets a bit lost and pauses because Jordan has been so careful to avoid taking the bait that it appears she doens't know what to do next.
this is not the full interview, but some of the highlights
I think what I enjoyed about this interview so much isn't necessarily because I agree with either of them (although I do tend to lean conservative in many issues.) I like this interview so much because the media has become increasingly evil over the past 5 years or so (in most people's opinion - trust in the media hovers around 20%) and Cathy uses some pretty dirty tactics to try to get someone whose opinions she doen't agree with to say things that he doesn't mean so she can discredit his life's work. He doesn't fall for it and handles her sometimes aggressive questions calmly, and concisely.
Unfortunately, many people with good ideas out there routinely are discredited by dishonest media sources and this is true for the right, the left, and everything in-between. There is no honesty in reporting anymore and this one interview pretty accurately portrays precisely that.
We really need someone who can bring the two sides together. If things continue to go down the road of this extreme leaning to one side or the other we are ultimately going to be very doomed.
I don't think that anything has changed. I think it was always this way... our ability to notice it however, has changed dramatically now that social media dominated our interactions and the flow of information.
Plus, articles with lots of factual information take too long to read and shock headlines on a clickbait article get people worked up... I would say most FB junkies base all of their opinions on the title of the various articles and don't actually even read it!
I tell my wife about articles all the time. She says to me, what did it say and I say, I don't know, I just read the title :)
I do not follow Jordan Peterson either, but in that interview he really did well. Basically whole problem is that the left wants to force him and all Canadians to adopt a political agenda, which is obviously very dangerous, and also absurd. The media wanted to represent Peterson in a distorted way, luckily he has managed to defend himself.
yeah, he has a lot of interviews with sometimes hostile people speaking to him. I have not seen him lose his composure once. He is obviously very intelligent.
information is power then they will create information even if its fake
Jordan Peterson is a clinical psychologist from Canada. Peterson became a magnet for media attention recently, because he opposes certain fundamentals of social justice.
Peterson refused to follow Canada’s C-16 bill, which established law regarding gender identity and preference. Peterson declared he would not follow the law, because he believed C-16 was against Free Speech.
