About this listen

 A rolling stone grows no moss ... but maybe Influencers do ? Matt Taibbi + Douglas Murray vs Michelle Goldberg + Malcolm Gladwell Not only does Murray fact check the fact checker at dinner, he cleans the dishes too ... Please Sir can I have some more ... Gladwell keeps trying to sell books ... Michelle Goldberg proves Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well ... Taibbi makes some good points but Gladwell's hearing aid stops working, just like the cameras in Epsteins cell Are we simply frogs in boiling water … are we even allowed to debate it any longer? What Could go wrong ... Moderators, shredding political devices and trigger words ... Not everyone is a racist We discuss cognitive bias, trust in the media, globalist agendas, master debating skills and more ... Audio vs visual w/ scattergun debaters ... Stephen Fry and Jordan Peterson get a shout out ! We reference another debate Political Correctness | Munk Debates https://munkdebates.com/debates/political-correctness Plus other random thoughts … Mainstream Media | Munk Debates Blah, Blah, Blah https://munkdebates.com/podcast/mainstream-media-podcast-debate Public trust in mainstream media is at an all-time low. Critics point to coverage of COVID-19, the 2020 election, and the Ottawa trucker protest as proof that legacy outlets like the New York Times, The Globe and Mail and CNN can no longer be relied upon to provide unbiased reporting. Activist journalists are using pen and paper to push political agendas while their bosses lean into the profitability of polarization. Mainstream media’s defenders argue that their institutions offer an invaluable public service that alternative outlets are either incapable or uninterested in providing: careful fact-based reporting on important issues and holding the powerful to account. In a brave new world of “fake news” and “drive by” journalism, traditional news organizations are essential to democracy and a bulwark against corruption, misinformation and the private interests of the powerful.
