Would have been nice if the interviewer pushed back more than "lol I don't think they would agree". Spineless.

Spineless seems a bit harsh. The interviewee did open with an unveiled threat of legal action against anyone who disagrees with him.
There was a time when the media would take pride in smacking down some moron who thought they could use the law to suppress speech they don't like.
I heard The Onion still does this
"The media" in general, sure. They often still do. My point was just that one person not doing this in an intimidating 1:1 interview doesn't make that person spineless.
