Conflicting Visions: A video debate hosted by Chrystia Freeland

[ImperialArmour]

She's being a typical women, feeling the constant need to prove her worth outside the kitchen in a knowledge based marketplace, and what better venue than between two male intellectuals?

Btw, I don't sympathize with that, it was fucking annoying and a disgrace to her kind.

[ozmucur]

WORST MODERATOR EVER!

[truthbeeeetold]

Laura Tyson was a huge supporter of GATT which exported all of our jobs to Asia. Watch the video with Jimmy Goldsmith and Laura Tyson and make up your own mind!

[alonelychild]

Wow! What a civilized debate! Way to go Laura and Glenn!

[BudDickman]

WOW.

[lasku0007]

Seriously what is wrong with this woman. Let them finish their arguments. We get it....you are very knowledgeable, but here, we want to listen to the opposing arguments of Cenk and lee without you butting in constantly.

[ExSaint1379]

Why would you parade Lee Doren around as if he has legitimate opinions? He's been intellectually dishonest many times, and he holds his own opinion to be that of a "genius". He's just a run of the mill histrionic/narcissist. He has made so many categorically wrong statements that no one should take him seriously.

[monkeywolf]

@ExSaint1379 Proof or gtfo.

[ExSaint1379]

@monkeywolf What would constitute "proof".

[monkeywolf]

@ExSaint1379 The fact you have to ask that shows you have 0 proof or evidence and are just spouting pure bullshit.

[ExSaint1379]

@monkeywolf Maybe it just shows that I have seen enough Lee Doren videos and don't really feel like re-watching them.

[monkeywolf]

@ExSaint1379 Or it shows you are biased already against what he says, have no real proof that backs up what you think thus putting you in the wrong, and rather than admit that you just say he is wrong and offer no proof.

[STRATERCAS]

Lee just needs to learn how to shut up. She is talking to very intelligent people who are brought on BECAUSE they are considered to be voices in their own areas of expertise.

I don't care if she disagrees, but she needs to shut up and let people finish their thoughts.

I won't watch or read Reuters anymore because even if something is good it won't get finished. I have no idea if this is how people were treated if I'm reading so I won't pay anymore attention.

[ashkaji]

Chrystia Freeland should resign from her current line of work and find a new job that will suit her personality more. Like big brother big sisters. Of course Im suggesting she find an older woman to be her big sister. I think she needs to learn some social skills :]

[no2globalism]

This moderator is the worst.

Rude, overly involved.

Horrible.

[M0US3P0T4TO]

Here I am, late to the party but... this woman needs to pour herself a nice big cup of STFU and guzzle it. Jesus Christ, did Reuters pick her up from Fox? Grrrrrr.

[axlbernard]

Fire the 'moderator'

what a farce Reuters should be ashamed. Impartial Journalism my ass!!

[Leofus1986]

7:23 "...we already have you on this shovel-ready issue." We? This is a handicapped debate? Equal time? Probably closer to 10:1 time division. What a joke! The Turks are worse than O'Reily.

[mendelbot]

A moderator is supposed to be an honest broker. Not a dishonest partisan who sits there trying to derail the (evidently very patient and implacable) thought process of one of the participants.

Thank you Reuters for showing just how reliable and objective your staff really is. It's definitely something I'll keep in mind when I see any of your programming.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

Lee blocks people on his channel.

Turks don't.

Point for Cenk.

[grnbbllntrck]

@AmericanNohbuddy lol did he block you too? i got in a batte over youtube comments with him once and beat the shit out of him. ever since then i can't comment and say how dumb he is : (

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@grnbbllntrck

Yeah he did.

what did you beat him over?

[SturmKorps]

This bitch. NEEDS TO FUCKIGN DIE!!

FUCK IM MAD!

She is lucky I have alot to lose!

[ckey19]

That is literally the worst moderator I have ever seen. Ever...

[LordDirk]

I side with Cenk on these issues, and I despise Lee, but that "moderator" gave me a headache. I wish someone could sit her down and tell her, "Don't say what points the debaters are making, don't interrupt, ask the question and let them make their points for themselves."

[upplsuckimcool16]

Does anyone else notice it is HOT in that room...

[KarrensMan69]

This wasn't a debate, it was 2 moonbats agreeing with each other, and one conservative trying to get a word in edgewise. The friggin "moderator"Chryrstia is even more of a moonbat than Cenk.

[upplsuckimcool16]

LOL I'm glad I'm not in the camp the entire world cannot stand!

[agamimnon423]

Ok Im a bit slow on the uptake. I just watched this and Im disgusted that the "Moderator". In a debate its the moderators job to ask the questions and then shut up. This lady (And I use the term very loosely) Couldn't keep her mouth shut when Lee spoke. I hope she gets a dose of reality really soon and finds her self in the Unemployment line.

[CatholicAmerican]

Just wanted to voice my disgust with Chrystia Freeland's conduct as "moderator" during the Doren/Uygur segment.

This video has greatly influenced my opinion of Reuters in a negative way.

[RealHarrySeaward]

If I were a Republican:

I would be a gun toting redneck, BUT I would also be upset by how this "moderator" acted more like a shill whose sole purpose was to promote the Democratic Party by guiding the subject matter in their favor and cutting off every opposing argument before it could be made.

If I were a Democrat:

I would be upset by how obvious it was and I would question the credibility of all future media put out by Reuters Video. I would also favor socialism.

[AvidiaNirvana]

@RealHarrySeaward So true! except the part about socialism lol.

[nanaforiod]

@RealHarrySeaward I think a gun totting redneck would have a more violent reaction to the shill moderator:)

[scorpionkings]

I want to punch the moderator in her big interrupting mouth!!

[Multifire]

It would have been nice to see Lee Vs. Cenk and not Moderator Vs. Lee.

[jal247]

I was excited to see Cenk debate with Lee. However, this would-be moderator was so terrible it distracted from the debate. I kept wanting her to shut her mount and let Cenk and Lee speak.

[johnstubbs2010]

why is that lady orange?

[johnstubbs2010]

Lee is the dumbest person i know.. he should stop regurgitating the Friedman handbook and move into the real world.. the little fuck face....

[Reckless3057]

@johnstubbs2010 wow great argument.

[johnstubbs2010]

@Reckless3057 I didnt know you could get internet access in tent cities.. how is that unemployment rate of yours? i hear the US dollar and your deficit is pretty healthy too..

[Reckless3057]

@johnstubbs2010 Yeah your Keynesian business-cycle-theory stimulus is working out swimmingly.

[johnstubbs2010]

@Reckless3057

Dude your country is indebted to China..

[CandJCuesta]

HowThisDorkWorks(Lee) shouldn't be given an opportunity to be a junior GOP talking point robot. He just repeats what John Boehner the corporate puppet says. You bring 2 people with conflicting views together so they can share facts, ideas and past mistakes. No new ideas from Lee. He says "private sector", "free market" & "deregulation" will fix everything. He's stubborn and simple. Can we find a republican who wont cherry pick poll numbers, quotes or "facts". He's useless for finding solutions.

[otsenrexxx]

Its funny. Conservatives are against strong government and want privatization which pretty much is Social "natural selection." Yet most conservatives don't believe in evolution.

[GlengarryGlennBeck]

why does the video spazz out towards the end

[sungmoon1987]

I'd love to see her interview Lady Margaret Thatcher, she'll kick the moderator's ass right up the street and then flush her down the toilet just for fun. Why does'nt this interviewer let people speak?

[BriansVideoHobby]

Stenky is SUCH A MORON! How did higher taxes crash the economy? They had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! Clinton's sub-prime loan fiasco and his deregulation of derivatives and credit default swaps are 100% of the reason for the crash. Did he REALLY call himself a fiscal conservative? Higher taxes? More spending? WHAT?!? Also, doesn't Reuters have anyone intelligent and impartial to moderate?

[BriansVideoHobby]

I thought the host and the liberal bitch were going to pull off their panties and 69 each other. It would have been nice if the dude could have spoken for more than six seconds so we could have heard something true.

[BriansVideoHobby]

Chrystia Freeland is just another shrill liberal mouth piece who loves to hear herself talk and never lets people speak if they have opposing (and far more intelligent) points of views. Typical liberal know nothing know it all.

[bleucheese14]

Shut up bitch and listen to both sides. You're all that's wrong with letting women out of the kitchen.

[ASTCify]

I want to hear Cenk and Lee debate under a different moderator... an *actual* moderator.

[CandJCuesta]

@ASTCify What for Lee is just going to repeat the same talking points he said here and what you can hear all day on Saudi Arabian owned Fox. The 2nd largest share holder after Murdoch is a Saudi prince. I guess conservatives are joining forces globally.

[TheOkham]

SHe is definitely on coke or amphetamine or some other similarly acting drug, not necessarily illicit

[TheOkham]

I agree with Hubbard on the safety net

[TheOkham]

VAT is like curing chlamydia with syphilis

what scares me is that they are both in favor of it

[TheOkham]

Is moderator on cocaine?

seriously, she behaves like my buddies after snorting a line....

[Ethioness]

@TheOkham So I guess I know whose comments I am reading....lol

[TheOkham]

I really wanted to punch moderator in her face

[TheOkham]

Chrystia STFU and let them talk

[TheOkham]

the debate starts at around 8:15

what kind of idiot uploaded 8 min of blue screen?

[B4TT3RY]

Cenk was being interrupted too, Cenk just doesn't stop talking.

[mendelbot]

@B4TT3RY She surely didn't keep her mouth shut in either case, but her willful distortions are purposeful attempts to disrupt flow are surely evident whatever your political affiliation. You may like it, but it shows imperceptiveness or dishonesty to deny it.

[Devin1488]

Laura had to interrupt Lee so much because he's such a dogmatic moron, who contradicts himself and poops out statements that make no sense. How could they move the argument forward when he couldn't even admit that there's such thing as a shovel ready project?

[pkninja47]

@Devin1488 Lovely compliments you have for Lee. Now using your only argument in the entire post - the one about a shovel ready project - as a basis for those insults, you said that President Obama is "such a dogmatic moron, who contradicts himself and poops out statements that make no sense." Don't you recall that Obama himself said that there is no such thing as a shovel ready project? Please research something before you insult the messenger.

[pkninja47]

Was this a debate, or an endorsed monologue for Laura?

[riskbusin3ss]

Can someone give Chyrystia award of the year for worst interviewer!

[JonasFrimodt]

worst moderator ever.....

[NorwegianKafir]

Not only is Reuters Global Editor-at-Large Chrystia Freeland obviously a hard left fanatic, but she also looks like an angry and bitter person. No wonder why the old media is so biased, corrupt and dishonest.

[FrostmourneFK]

Wow, this dumb whore can't shut her mouth for anything, can she? Even in the debate before Cenk and Lee, she's interrupting the opposing debater to her own viewpoint. These are not debates, these are opinion-driven attacks against the opposing side. The point of a debate is so that everyone gets their point across, not so you can shoot their viewpoints down. This is something I'd expect to see on the Daily Show. It's so bass-ackwards that it's comical.

[jasontkennedy]

Chrystia Freeland - you may want to look up the definition of moderator with respect to a debate. Thanks for ruining the debate, fucking dolt.

[Praiosrondra]

@jasontkennedy

Actually, I think that she did an ok job (not great but ok). Imho the main problem was the time constraint. They should have had at least twice as much time for all those topics, maybe even three times as much time ...

[SomethingSea1]

Fuck you, Chrystia Freeland and Reuters.

[ButterflyDragon9]

Wow, this moderator is clearly biased and totally unprofessional. This is why news organizations such as Reuters, AP, etc are not trust. Editors with clear biases are shaping the news to their views. I could just imagine how twisted a story that runs across her desk gets before it's ready for the distribution. Shameful.

[JonasFrimodt]

@ButterflyDragon9 your so right

[CharlesBartowskiHere]

My favorite part was when she would smirk and look at Cenk after certain comments as if she was throwing some big zinger out there.She reminded me of some character you would see on SNL.

[swtjonesy]

"there is no such thing as a shovel ready project" -BHO.

terrible moderator.

[19fas88]

cenk literally talked for 1 minute before being interrupted for 10 seconds then talked for another minute. lee then responded for 10 seconds and was interrupted by both the moderator and cenk. grow up lady.

[AAovieAAan]

Worst. Moderator. Ever.

[matt4848]

Cenk was moderating, right? Because the woman from Reuters did a hell of a lot of debating.

[Praiosrondra]

@matt4848

Did she really do that? Please, could you point out a time index when she is debating? And just to make sure: Debating (imho) means to make and explain (and defend) a certain point or opinion. Asking critical questions or calling out someone for saying something factually wrong (like saying that there aren't any shovel ready projects) is not debating, it's moderating.

[monkeywolf]

@Praiosrondra Why did she cut Doren off more than Cenk then? She was debating with Lee more than moderating and simply let Cenk get his view out as much as he wanted.

[scchharoundthecorner]

Horrible moderator.

[maritimetimes]

3 way debate fail...

[Ilikemustard]

That moderator is a fucking cunt.

I could not concentrate on what was being debated at all, because I was overcome with the desire to kick the fucking moderator's teeth in.

[rdhayes06]

What an awful moderator

[LegendaryFLA]

This wasn't a debate, it was an ambush

[saper321]

The title of this clip should be:

Only One Vision: Fixing the Global Economy by adopting North Korean model with Chrysita Slaveland.

Needless to say I don't want hear from Chrysita F. ever again!

[MrIekaum]

cenk rules

[Matrixman34]

Wow i never knew a moderator needed to argue. I thought that was supposed to be a debate not "Let's agree with Cenk."

[ConservativeResponse]

I hope Reuters actually reads these posts. Chrystia Freeland is the worst moderator in the universe of Moderating. When those watching want to punch her in the face, you might want to think about who is doing the moderating and representing your brand image.

[AcceptMe]

STOP INTERRUPTING YOU BITCH, WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK.

[RoronoaZoro222]

@Michopsychology Thanks for the heads up!

[timnost]

Hey that's my job^^

[SquadbayNinja]

This bitch needs to lose her job.

[drchaffee]

Chrystia Freeland is god awful. Won't let either of them finish a god damned sentence. I don't even know anyone with enough ADHD to follow this shit.

[mblast]

That was the worst moderated debate I have ever seen. There was no moderator, just someone on the side interrupting both sides points all the time. Please just let them talk next time.

[THEsquirrel3d]

Horrible. Chrystia Freeland is a camera-whore and and comes off as anything but a journalist.

[FabreFresh]

So this lady is in the debate too?

[Ecoi1]

Bad moderator

[adjohnson916]

The health of my ears requires that the moderator not screech voluminously over her guests every 30 seconds mid-sentence.

[maganz]

The trouble with the liberal control freaks in the media, is that they presupposes the correctness of their own views.

[fishcrazy104]

moderator was horrible she doesn't understand the idea of being a moderator.

[murda1991]

hosted by chrystia my ass this idiot is debating more than cenk is and wont let either of the debaters talk

[pokeyugi13]

if the two people debating each other interrupt other that's fine

but the moderator is supposed to be quiet

its no different if Bob (drinkingwithbob) were to host this

[jilloplo]

I love how she cuts Lee off like he had been rambling on for hours and then lets Cenk talk for four times as long. Very poorly done. Lee, you are better at what you do than this video shows.

[sm0kingJay]

Very moderated... very very very moderated.

[HowDaWorldTwerks]

lee doren is a fucking idiot, its like putting a midget in a fight against chuck liddel with him vs cenk. youtube search "howtheworldworks owned" to see what i mean

[murda1991]

@HowDaWorldTwerks TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOTROLLYPOL­LYTROLOLOLOOLOLOOOOOL

[TheShnuz]

@HowDaWorldTwerks Lee was a collegiate wrestler.

[coldbloodid]

@HowDaWorldTwerks i think you should stop stalking him , your starting look creepy.

[suds101]

Wow, this moderator is really painful.

[taylort123]

I will never interact with Reuters ever again after submitting this comment.

[DcuStudios2]

YouTube sent me here!

[twstdelf]

She interjects a little too often to be called a "moderator" imo.

[enderandpeter]

@twstdelf Indeed, this is more of a joint interview, than a debate.

[upplsuckimcool16]

She's got herpes! It's covered up but....

[wheelzwheela]

Am I the only one that is noticing that she is interrupting Lee at every point but lets Cenk go on and on.

[Praiosrondra]

@wheelzwheela

Yes, your right. But imho the reason for that was not a bias on her part but rather that Lee often tried to either avoid an inconvenient question or that he tried to change the discussion to another topic, which he finds more important or more interesting. And she didn't let him get away with it.

[clout2k]

@wheelzwheela

Possibly because Cenk didn't contradict, or attempt avoid questions which show the conflict in even his own opinions nearly as much as Lee did.

Please tell me you guys are not so far gone you don't see it, because if so that some powerful selective hearing and/or ignorance.

[monkeywolf]

@clout2k Contradicting? He never contradicted himself, she just cut cutting him off. "So roads is (should be are btw she obviously never took a basic English Class) infrastructure!?" No shit, shut up and let him talk.

[graphattic]

Fixing what fucking economy? Just kill the reach and reinvest their money.
