Im no expert.
I didnt watch the interview but if Ariel is really doing that it makes me wonder if hes technically a journalist at this point.
Lets forget about the context (bellator, ufc, eddies contract etc.) for a minute and address these 2 things:
A) what specifically is a journalist?
B) what is propaganda?
Im no expert but hopefully someone more familiar with this can join in and educate us about what they are plus the main differences are between the two. Im not sure but I thought a journalist is there to basically extract and put forth facts. He has to remain objective, unbiased, and no spinning stuff. A propagandist on the other hand has the aim of slowly forming specific beliefs in people (whether true or not) and usually does it by repetition and targets the emotions. The propagandist is not after unbiased and impartial facts to allow the people to form their own opinions but rather steers them into having precalculated opinions and emotional responses.
Again I could be wrong here and would love for someone more familar with these matters to join in.
Is normal.
Didn't dana ban him for like a month not too long ago? He seems to rub people the wrong way

Ariel is a good journalist in my opinion, and by the very nature of the job it requires him to poke and prod, which obviously has made him some enemies. I respect him and consider him one of the better journalists in the sport.
Remember Tito calling Ariel out at the UFC 132 press conference? Ariel interviewed Tito a day or two before, and when he asked him about weaknesses in Bader's game, or strategy for the fight, Tito mentioned Bader's wrestling. Ariel brought it up in a question to Ryan and Tito tried acting like he never said it. Stuff like that pisses me off. It isn't like Ariel can immediately find the footage and shut Tito down, then it seems as though it is one person's word against the other, when Tito was flat out wrong.
People act like instances like that are examples of Ariel 'instigating'. He is just relaying information and asking for comments. Journalism.
