Christakis mentions two important things about Newman. First, she seemed hostile towards Peterson, clearly going into the interview with a moral prejudice towards him.

I have watched many Jordan Peterson videos lately and he is an excellent spokesman for free speech. His performance in the debate with Cathy Newman was masterful in how to deal with leftist accusations, distortions and hostility.
