Its not at all bonkers. Its clearly negative petulant labelling as a child might use fleeing an argument with an adult, it looks like he's used it to degrade and intimidate junior professionals in a public professional environment. The man looks at best just a bit thick. A modern lesson for your consideration.

Nah. He just wanted to leave the interview and said it as he rushed off. He clearly didn’t want to answer any questions, and judging by her initial reaction, she didn’t find offence at all.
Calling a female professional journalist "good girl" for doing her job is pretty condescending, I don't think that's exactly a controversial view. As ever, a lot more energy seems to be being expended on outrage that this has been highlighted than on outrage at what he's said. There's one feminist organisation saying it's casual sexism and asking him to explain what he meant by it, nobody is saying he should be strung up.

However- you try saying good girl to cut off a professional colleague at work and see where it lands you.
Of course its patronising.

I have to talk a lot in my work, to large numbers of people and to people from a diverse range of backgrounds. To date, nobody has ever accused me of saying anything offensive, so it seems like actually you can say lots of stuff without anyone taking offence.

Words never hurt? Hmmmm I'm thinking you've never heard words thrown professionally.
Regardless of whether they do or not, as a young man finding my way I knew when a older man with status, rather than help or just be indifferent, spoke down and belittled me publicly, and I knew that was because they were a prick. This is not bonkers revolutionary thinking imo. If people want to minutes hate/culture war into it crack onzzz

I think it was a silly thing to say. He was a bit under pressure and maybe that didn’t help but it clearly wasn’t the best choice of words.
If it was a male interviewer and he finished with good man nobody would have raised an eyebrow though. And that choice of language is seen as just saying thanks.

But it's ok to publicly refer to the man as being "a bit thick"
But it's ok for you to condescendingly tell the op "A modern lesson for your consideration"
Righto, see what we are dealing with here.

I don't think this is helpful though. We just have a society that sits on one side of the fence and zero middle ground or reasonableness from anyone. It's either "it's a disgrace" or "the world's gone mad". Your now fuelling the argument saying its the other side that is more out raged "no you're more outraged", "no you are".
What's happened is Brendan hasn't meant anything by it but used a slightly silly phrase. Those organisations come out with really over the top condemnation of it have made this incendiary. They could have made contact with Brendan and just said something discretely or they could have at worst just said started with "we appreciate Brendan didn't mean anything offensive and we've spoken to the journalist in question who found no offence but we felt it went wanted to address....". People no longer start from a point of understanding or with a willingness to accept nobody is perfect etc.
