That's not "reporting". That's opinion. Big difference.
I have a leftie friend who "debated" that way with me (or tried to).
He made his point, I tried to respond but he shouted me down before I could complete a sentence. It's standard Democrat MO.
So now I only engage him by email which enables me to complete my argument, which he usually has no answer for.
Instead of shouting me down, he now responds with "I haven't got time for all this" or he responds with a ridiculous, unsubstantiated, talking point generality.
He's never won a debate with me yet.
