6 Verbal Tricks To Make An Aggressive Person Sorry
Interesting. But also why I hate watching main stream media interviews like this. It's more about bullying, using presupposition and dirty tricks to drive up ratings, than it is about genuinely discussing, debating, or understanding anything. "Journalism" as an actual thing, seems to be dead. I've got better things to do than listen to polarizing bullshit the MSM dishes up daily.

How to argue with someone who won't listen
It's pretty interesting stuff. Why people stick with emotional arguments that make no sense. When rapport is broken. How to get it back. Of course, on TV programs, breaking rapport is often deliberate, and meant to provoke angry, emotional responses, to drive up ratings. Which is why I don't watch TV anymore, for the most part. Give me intelligent conversation and debate, or I can't be bothered with it. j Which means, most of what's on TV these days.
