AMAZING 3MIN POLITICAL RANT About America by UK Author

The Munk Debate on the Mainstream Media was held on November 30, 2022. It featured Douglas Murray, Matt Taibbi, Malcolm Gladwell, and Michelle Goldberg.

In this clip from that debate, Douglas Murray discusses the problem of the media failing to report facts. He argues that the issue is not just about having different opinions, but having different facts, which can be lethal to society. He cites America as an example of this problem, where every institution, including the media, can become untrustworthy if they become glib about the facts. Murray argues that the mainstream media is currently failing and not doing its central task of reporting facts. He quotes George Orwell's view that the job of a journalist is to tell people facts they don't want to hear.

The problem, according to Murray, is that people will only pay attention to the facts they want to hear, which is a dangerous trend. He emphasizes the need for honesty and factual reporting in the mainstream media and wants to avoid chasing prejudices.
