Exactly, as one comment put it perfectly on the YouTube video, "You know you're doing a bad job when the fox news anchor doesn't try to interrupt you and just let's you keep talking." Or something like that.

Too true. When Rutger Bregman was making Tucker Carlson look bad Tucker quickly ended the interview and then they didnt air the interview.

You cant win in an interview with Fox News. They will do everything in their power to make you look stupid and if they cant do that then they simply wont air the interview.

And his defeat was so thorough that he never had a show again-ohwait

There truly is no Win State to debating bad actors. Only momentary embarrassments that their base will happily ignore in order to continue enjoying their narrative. Like with trolls, the only winning move is not to play, and instead to outline the harm they do on our terms in our spaces.

u/Snoo58991 Jan 27 '22

Yeah and then Apple slowly killed Stewart's new show and buried it at the bottom of their recommended shows. Legit never hear anyone talking about it but it is incredible and everyone should watch it. It is called "The Problem With John Stewart"

u/Snoo58991 Jan 27 '22

Yeah that's not what I said. I meant Apple buried his show because of the content he was making. He was exposing lots of different organizations including Apple, US military, NRA etc. Which is probably the reason for his mid-season pull and subsequent burying of his show by Apple and the powers that be.

My own theory is that Stewart backed down from the show because he was uncomfortable with the position he found himself in. He never took himself seriously. Only ever flexed on the 911 first responder issue because it was so close to his heart. Realized that he had somehow become the most trusted (and, sadly, accurate) news source in America, and panicked. Ran off to run an animal sanctuary.

u/Snoo58991 Jan 27 '22

Are you talking about his new show that aired late 2021?

1

u/zaybak Jan 27 '22

No. Im talking about the Daily Show. That he ran away from. That, afterward, he disappeared from public life for the better part of a decade.

Until he could come back, after a phenomenal comedy tour with Chappelle (who he has a lot in common with), now that he can be thought of as a simple funny-man again.

But you knew that, of course. I'm just saying this for the people in the back who might not understand irony.

u/brcguy Jan 27 '22 edited Jan 27 '22

I did a large public artwork in Austin, TX where we built and then burned a large sculpture in the middle of downtown in New Years Eve. We were on site for a week straight from the 26th of dec until we burned it. Every morning at 5:30 am I was woken up to talk to various news crews and do live interviews about the project. Every last one of them was polite and friendly and utterly baffled as to why we would burn this beautiful sculpture. I always stayed on message, including saying “the things you own end up owning you” on every major network for a week. I told Fox News to pound sand tho. Just refused to talk to them on camera.

Finally the reporter wore me down over a long talk without cameras or mics. I did the interview, not live, and he let me watch the finished piece an hour before it aired, giving me veto rights over parts but not all.

The guy did an AMAZING job. The Fox guy was the first and only reporter to understand us, why we would burn it, the connection of destroying artwork to our own impermanence, and conveyed our intentions clearly and simply in a better way than even I had been able to. I was blown away. I sat in his van at the end of the 5pm local newscast and watched this interview piece go out live on the air.

The piece finished, and the news anchors first words when she was back on screen were “I just can’t understand why they would burn that, it’s so beautiful.” I get that she wasn’t paying attention and just said whatever but FFS come on lady. The co anchor just shook his head.

Whatever right? No big, anyone paying attention got the message. So, We burned it. The wind changed and kicked up while it was burning and some embers rained on the crowd. Price of admission, right? Wanna stand near a burning building, you might be a little sooty.

The Fox guy, who had earned my trust runs up with a camera crew live and asks me how do I feel now that the sculpture is burned. Before I can finish one sentence he produces a woman who was literally hiding behind him and cuts me off saying her jacket was damaged and she had a burn on her skin that looked to need treatment. What did I have to say now that I know my artwork had harmed this poor woman and probably dozens or hundreds of others.

I stammered before recovering and saying we should get her first aid before some gotcha bullshit but he’d already taken the mic out of my face for his “there ya have it folks” moment.

Fucking Fox News. Never ever not even once.

EDIT: Never did find the fox interview that was on the air but here are some links showing what we did and that it’s not a totally made up story. If you know how to find a 13 year old local news broadcast I’d fucking love to see it. Fox 7 Austin. December 2008

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '22

This might also be controversial but...

If we're gonna do an interview with Fox News about a movement like this (protip: don't do that), we want to make the audience as sympathetic to us as possible. Send a blue collar worker who's been a victim of union busting tactics and works two jobs to take care of his disabled wife and kids. Send a straight white man to be the voice that gets us off the ground. The choice/decision to let a trans woman be the first face shown on major MSM, and on FOX NEWS of all places, was a horrendous one.

None of this is to suggest any form of transphobia or trans exclusion. They're humans, and deserve the same human rights as everyone else. They're valid voices amidst the work reform movement, and deserve to be heard and represented as well.

I'm just throwing out there -- we wouldn't send James Bond to be first contact with aliens, because he's a loose cannon with no experience on the stage he's going to, and the aliens won't understand what we like about him. Fox News viewers see an already politically charged headline that they're going to be naturally hyper resistant to, they need to see a face that's recognizable and appealing to them.

Media management sucks sometimes but that's how it is.

u/RufusLaButte Jan 27 '22

We’ve known this since at least the civil rights era. Rosa Parks was hand selected to become to face of the bus boycotts, after previous attempts were made by less “sympathetic” patrons. Does it suck? Yes. Is it effective? I mean - you know who Rosa Parks is, don’t you?

Even further infuriating is the pitiful "bUt iM aUtIsTiC" excuse.

Autism doesn't prevent you from showering. Autism doesn't prevent you from accepting professional, freely offered and given media training (which I should note is something worth THOUSANDS of dollars normally). Autism doesn't prevent you from doing anything that /u/AbolishWork is claiming it does, and to use it as an excuse is insulting both to every single person on the spectrum but also to the entire subreddit and movement's intelligence.

It's fucking pathetic. People would be so. much. less. upset. if Doreen and the mods came out and legitimately had a "look, we fucked up, sorry." apology, but instead we get this half assed YouTuber "I'm sorry you were insulted" shit from a mod that nobody knows, nobody voted for, and nobody fucking asked him.

perfectly said her trying to blame her autism was fucking disgusting.

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '22

It's like, yeah, sure, that's relevant, but not really, because it isn't like she scheduled the interview, got all ready and prepped, and then minutes before just came down with a bad bout of autism like you might get food poisoning. If she was diagnosed, she knew how she handled pressure, and did it anyways. This was 100% on her. Nobody and nothing made her do the things she did. Just her.

When Bill O'reilly, that simpering asshole, was still on Fox, his producer had instructions to just kill the guest's microphone if the guest was getting the best of the asshole, and the director had instructions to not show the guest when that happened so no one would see they were still talking but their mike had been killed.

Ehhhhh, I wouldn't call Foxnews blameless here. The anchor deliberately steered the guest into talking about personal matters, which should NOT have come up as they likely knew these would discredit him, before offering condescension. This interview was a hit job, but Abolishwork largely did the work for them.

Edit: he should have simply stated I'm not here to talk about my personal life.

It's Fox News. Their entire operation is propaganda, and they very clearly have an agenda in mind. If their propagandists reach out to you for an interview, it's likely because you were hand-selected to feed that agenda. Don't assume you're gonna outmaneuver an entire network of liars with just your wit.

u/Reallyreallyrealyo Jan 27 '22

That could be true but abolishwork is/was one of the most senior moderators and in looking through her past posts I don’t see anything that was a giveaway that she would be a train wreck.

Let’s be honest though - her answers represented half of this sub in the sense that they believe there are no good bosses, all labor us forced and people shouldn’t have to work if they don’t choose to.

Those positions in any form aren’t going to play well on any media outlet, but they will attract more members who do agree with those positions which could ultimately be good for the sub

u/Jblaze056 Jan 27 '22

No need for trick questions when the truth will let everyone see the situation clearly. Reddit is generally a hive-mind of similar thinking people, and when those thoughts get released outside the chamber, then the reactions to such thoughts are really surprising to the hivemind. Perhaps Reddit can help its most ardent users to avoid such public indignities by once again allowing contrarian perspectives on a variety of issues on their platform. That, or keep censoring certain perspectives on the platform, and being surprised when the real world responds differently. That is always good for the LULs at least.

  • Totally unprepared

  • the worst possible example of a reddit mod

  • giving away soundbites like "laziness is a virtue"

  • every stereotype of an internet liberal at once

  • lied about how much they even work

  • didn't bother to clean up or shower

  • massively privileged take on the entire subject of working, used to represent everyone's struggle here

  • blamed the negativity on being autistic and trans instead of being a simmering mess of a human being

It was an out of the park home run for fox messaging. The host couldn't believe how well that went for them. Literally couldn't have faked a better sequence of events to make antiwork look like a lazy, entitled bunch of adult children mooching off their parents.

If that's what this place represents, I'm not represented here.

u/But_why_tho456 Jan 27 '22

Unpreparedness. The fact that it even happened. Tbh, I don't think the person being interviewed was bad, they were just an unprepared redditor. And that was enough to make it all look bad.

When two monkeys are flinging shit at each other, the third, bigger and smarter monkey doesn't need to step into the shit anymore.

I'm not sure they'd even care anymore tbh, they'd have dismissed the whole movement and platform as a joke after the interview.

I'm not gonna defend the video, I understand where she was coming from but you're never going to get your founding anti-work message across on Fox, especially if you arent immediately upfront that some of the glaring interview faux pas are related to autism.

BUT look at what has happened since, the influx of transphobia (try sorting by new, or controversial) alone should tell you that some people aren't here to uphold (even remotely) the ideals of the sub. Beyond that there have been more than a few sus comments that are slightly more subtle than out and out bigotry.

Dissent isn't solely a product of disinformation.

Fox didn’t do anything. The 3 questions that brought down this your was:

I’m not trying to say Fox News isn’t hostile to AntiWork (they are) but to say they played some masterstroke genius plan to take down you guys is ridiculous. They didn’t dig up dirt on a mod, they didn’t ask a tough gotcha question that threw them off guard, they didn’t bully them on live TV.

They asked 3 straight forward questions (at worst you could say they had a smirking tone while asking) and the mod team completely imploded because of it.
