An hour and a half long but worth the time. Douglas Murray, in particular, and Matt Taibbi wipe the debate floor with Malcolm Gladwell and Michelle Goldberg.
Gladwell is a total leftist intellectual choad who could solve the world's energy crisis if we could figure out a way to convert his ego and self-importance into fuel. He actually proposes that Walter Cronkite refused to give any voice to minorities during his career. It is wonderful when Murray basically pulls Gladwell over to Murray's chair and uses him for a footstool by pointing out all of the historical inaccuracies Gladwell wrote in a book about the history of Northern Ireland right after Gladwell hyperventilates about how important fact checking is.

It was interesting that both of the MSM supporting speakers failed to state, and in fact contradicted the idea, that the first principal of journalism is truth. Once you get used to seeing the effects of post-modern ideology, you can’t unsee it.
Gladwell actually repeated the leftist quote that the job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Gladwell used to write good books then he saw huge dollar signs by pandering to the woke crowd because he’s like 25% black. Now every other word out of his mouth is something about race. Funny he never talked about that 25 years ago. Are we to believe society is more racist now?

He(Gladwell) was born in England and grew up in Canada? WTF does he know about journalism in this country?

Munk debates are fantastic and such a rarity in today's social and political climate.
I highly suggest listening to their entire library of debates.
