UK TV Station Hires Extra Security After Interview With Canadian Prof Prompts Threats

The Canadian Press, 22 Jan, 2018 12:26 PM
  • UK TV Station Hires Extra Security After Interview With Canadian Prof Prompts Threats
A British news channel says it's consulting security specialists because one of its presenters has been the target of threats following an interview with controversial Canadian professor Jordan Peterson.
 
Channel 4 news editor Ben de Pear said on Twitter that journalist Cathy Newman has been the subject of "vicious misogynistic abuse, nastiness, and threat" following the conversation, which he says is "an unacceptable response to a robust and engaging debate."
 
Peterson, a professor at the University of Toronto, is best known for refusing to use gender-neutral pronouns for transgender and non-binary people who request them.
 
The conversation between Newman and Peterson has been viewed more than two million times since it was posted to YouTube on Tuesday.
