I was also surprised to learn that the reporter attacking was co-anchor of Mornings & husband to msnbc’s Katy Tur.

@Nonilex

I was horrified by that entire interview.

@Nonilex

Don't know him, but Katy Tur has been one of the worst pro-Trump commentators. Even though she was viciously abused back in 2016 when she was embedded with the Trump campaign, she consistently spins for him.

@Nonilex That is truly something. And attacking is absolutely the correct description.

I commend Mr. Coates on his composure in the face of that absolutely undeserved attack.

@Nonilex well, now I'm not as surprised

@Nonilex I’m not surprised Tur was ID’d long ago as a Trump shill by Michael Cohen as was Maggie Haberman. CBS went irretrievably MAGA when they hired Mick ‘the prick’ Mulvaney

@RMiddleton @Nonilex Me too I think they are going to suck as bad as CNN did

@Nonilex
I got "Between the world and Me" becuz it was on the banned list.
It hits hard. But it was real.

This seems like a good time to remind everyone about *Pegasus.

*The Israeli Spyware discovered on journalists phones and computers.

@Nonilex @joyannreid
So having listened to the interview I have to say your labeling is pretty reductionist. The person you're complaining about provided a lot of context for why he was questioning Ta-Nehisi's take. And Coates made a very cogent counter presentation in my opinion. It was a discussion. You make it sound like a completely biased prejudiced attack. Which is what you kind of did isn't it?
