The Munk Debate on the Mainstream Media was held on November 30, 2022. The resolution to be debated was, “Be it resolved, don’t trust the mainstream media.” On the PRO side of the debate were Douglas Murray (The Spectator) and Matt Taibbi (TK News on Substack). On the CON side of the debate were Malcolm ‘Malc’ Gladwell (The New Yorker, Revisionist History) and Michelle Goldberg (The New York Times). At the beginning of the debate, 48% voted in favour of the resolution, while 52% voted against the resolution. At the end of the debate, 67% voted in favour of the resolution, while 33% voted against it, representing a 39% switch to the PRO side, the biggest switch in Munk history.
Some of this is editorial spin but I think the underlying logic is pretty sound, though it is only one possible future. They say this is 99% going to happen (the Dark are defeated) and I think that’s true. It also says, it’s up to you when it happens and I guess, how we’ll remember it.
Not for coincidence skeptics.
