Friday Interview: ‘End of Discussion’ Pans Phony Outrage
RALEIGH — Political discussion often involves debate over competing ideas. But some partisans want no debate. They would rather declare certain views off-limits. It’s a tactic that disturbs Guy Benson and Mary Katharine Ham, co-authors of the book End of Discussion: How the Left’s Outrage Industry Shuts Down Debate, Manipulates Voters, and Makes America Less Free (And Fun). Benson and Ham, who are also Fox News contributors, recently discussed their book during a John Locke Foundation Headliner luncheon. They shared themes from their work with Mitch Kokai for Carolina Journal Radio.
