Mainstream Media - Matt Taibbi Opening Statement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 січ 2023
- 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.
Arguing for motion was the associate editor of The Spectator magazine, Fox News contributor, and bestselling author of The Madness of Crowds, Douglas Murray. He was joined on stage by Substack publishing sensation, former Rolling Stone contributing editor, and investigative journalist, Matt Taibbi
Arguing against the resolution was the internationally acclaimed author, podcaster and veteran New Yorker staff writer, Malcolm Gladwell. His debate partner was Michelle Goldberg, New York Times columnist, MSNBC contributor, former American Prospect senior correspondent and senior writer for The Nation.
The audience voted on this resolution prior to hearing the debate. 48% voted in favour of the resolution, while 52% voted against the resolution.
At the end of the debate, another poll was conducted. 67% voted in favour of the motion, while 33% voted against it, representing a 39% vote gain for the PRO side.

Matt is excellent and a true champion of journalism.
Then why does he go on Fox News? Rupert Murdock said under oath Fox News lies because its audience wants the lies. Also, Fox News gave the Trump campaign info on Biden's commercials before they were aired. Tiabbi has to renounce Fox News or no one should ever trust anything Taibbi says.
Matt is one of the few true journalists left in the modern world
It's amazing to me that this still has to be explained and people think they're informed enough to vote based off MSM reporting.
The context is decades of behavior of following msm starting with Cronkite through the last few years. It took a long time to break this habit, and even some are busy and just look from a distant and probably noticed something was off the last few years but didn't follow through with it. I'm not sure what age this changed maybe people 35-40 and up and I'd guess the younger folks never established a msm behavior. I follow closer than most and it took much longer than it should have to move to independent news. Often I still watch msm just to know what the enemy is planning.
One of the last journalists in the USA and a good one at that, Matt Taibbi. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Malcom embarrasses himself in spectacular fashion during this debate. 🤡
I lost all respect for him when I saw this.
"Malc" was a disgrace. Hopefully this just furthers the public's understanding of how awful the MSM truly is anymore. He didn't bring any facts, true to form.
Matt Taibbi is a middle of the road commentator, a straight shooter and an honest broker, imo.
🕯️🇦🇺🙏
What's funny is he isn't even "middle of the road". He's left wing. It's just that his compatriots have gotten so dishonest and manipulative that he now looks "centrist".
The whole debate is great. Matt Taibbi and Douglas Murray eviscerated their opponents. It was glorious.
It's a shame that a lot of people are just now finding this out.
Matt gives a superb overview of what MSM is supposed to give an educated audience.
Matt Taibbi is the ONLY journalist in this "debate."
Nice to see a liberal reporter who is able to put his own personal opinions aside and just report facts. He has been savaged by his contemporaries in the narrative media for his honesty.
Look how Malcolm Gladwell sits there , his posture and his lack of defiance. Its not needed. He knows what he needs to know. Let me make this a short story, what a ghoul.
Thank you, Matt
Spot on, Matt!
I’m glad munk has posted these, it shows integrity.
Spot on.
Matt Taibbi rocks.
Great job Matt!
Love you matt
"..until we get back to the basics we won't be trusted. And we won't be." 💯🎙️💯
Love this guy big fan
New favorite journalist
Matt and Douglas killed it
Thank you Matt! Your on my list of today's best journalists.
Why why why, can't we just make Matt Taibbi President.
Excellent!
UA-cam, hasn't push the red button on this yet.. Wow!
I hate that this very obvious and sensible position is now being branded as right wing or even far right. Even Matt himself is being branded as such, despite being very much on the left. Trump really melted a lot of brains.
TDS is very real.
yep
Church truth
Go, Matt!
Well said. 💯💐👑🙌🏾
Matt is so fucking genuine
Matt, very impressive.
MT is an excellent and fearless reporter.
Who knew that the words "Walter Cronkite" would be powerful enough to break a man's brain for over an hour.
The Enemedia of the people ...
I don’t know anyone, other than my 80 yo mother, who still has trust In corporate msm. Intelligent people abandoned the legacy media for trusted journalists who’ve gone independent via podcasts or Substack.
Listening to Matt, it has occurred to me that I am one of those users that tends to tune into the media that tells the story the way I want to hear it. This leaves me wondering if there are videos on just how well Malcolm & Michelle went on stage during the debate. Perhaps there are.
I did watch the debate from beginning to end and found Matt a somewhat awkward speaking, and I was fine with that. Douglas was his usual 'in control' self as a speaker and like Matt made some excellent points. Michelle left zero impression on me and I found Malcolm to be somewhat petty in his sniping remarks and failure to get the names right of his opponents in the debate. Did I dislike him because his opinions don't mirror mine? I don't believe so. I have lots of friends who's opinions and mine are completely different.
Dude what a nice opening statement, how can you disagree with this unless you're already some sort of corrupt journalist yourself
Dude looks nervous 😬
I never will
👍🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸👍💖
Is there some reason you didn't post this as a single video?
You will never be trusted again.
simple and brilliant
Matt pissing off all the right people.
Malcom literally called Matt a racist by proxy 4 times instead of addressing his arguments. Thats a staple mainstream media journalist move now a days.
This was difficult to watch. I slightly disagreed with them; but I REALLY would have thought that the "Pro" side would have made better; non Ad Hominem or straw man arguments. :(
Good on you to see that. Those Ad Hominem or straw man arguments are the crutches of those pushing narrative. If you look for it you will see it often and today one side uses it as a bludgeon. They have others, race and gender and the all time favorite ...argument from authority. Seeing it is the first step.
It is difficult to hear people may still believe MSM
Interesting clip and I think a lot of Matt, however a debate actually has two sides, you just presented one.
I'd like to hear with this supporters of mainstream media saying their defense.
The full debate is up. What are you talking about?
@@allyourbase888 Yes the full debate is up but the algorithm wasn't serving it up. The algorithm served up the opening statements of what it deemed I would be more comfortable with and then I had to chase down the opposing opening statements and after further searching I find I can get the whole hour and a half but it took work to get to that point.
I don't think the algorithm is there to serve my interests. This comment was made before I did all that searching.
@@dmelson7502 So your complaint on the Munk Debate Channel is actually for UA-cam?
I work in “big tech”. YT most likely sent you the most popular clip. Like most professional channels, Munk Debates chops up long form content into teaser chunks to drive overall engagement.
FWIW, the debate was a won by Taibbi and Murphy resoundingly. It was the largest margin of victory in Munk debate history if I remember correctly.
@@dmelson7502 my dude, the link to the full debate is right here, under this video lol
@@dmelson7502 it's friggin linked below mygorsh
The thrill of the next big story is dead. It’s all about the money
I used to like Malcolm , read a few of his books. He acted like a punk in this debate. Never debated just three shade , mispronounced Matt’s name three times, pulled the race card .4 times. Lost some respect for him
Threw shade
This is the second time since 2018 that Michelle Goldberg is one of the panelists. Weren't any of the other 3.6 billion women on the planet available that night? Or is she on salary?
Sucks he doesn’t practice what he preaches.
Gladwell got trounced. I have previously enjoyed his work but he played the CNN game to a T. Childish behaviour addressing his opponents disrespectfully by not using there preferred full names . Malcolm should have known better.
Matt’s opening statement is one view. I would like to hear what the other journalists have to say and will look for those videos too before I make an informed decision about MSM. That was his whole point, correct?
It’s all there to watch
I like Matt, but he just showed how very biased he is.
Trump is not that bad
He's pretty bad BUT he's the closest thing we could use to work against the rot, and just had to put up with all of that legitimate crap he brought.
Matt accepted terms from musk to only release parts of the Twitter files that musk approved and Matt admitted it.
No he didn't. This is a total lie lmao
@@filho4437 it's on his stack. he said republicans also asked for content to be put down as well but didn't go into any more detail.
Look when our political hero is constantly criticized by the opposing side, we swing into action to defend him or her. In this way we stay politically divided and continue to be the conquered majority.
@@adamqjsmith if it's so easy to find copy and paste the quote.
Without commenting on what you or others have written in this thread(still want to see proof for the allegation) , the files show how Twitter were told to censor on behest of the establishment/government, and that should worry everyone!
Yeah he won, it wasn't even close
Michelle Goldberg, realizing very quickly that she'd been undressed, positively looked as if she sharted more then once during Taibbi's opening; Malcolm, all to conscious that this was being filmed(he's brilliant remember), was more than happy to absorb the smell of those sharts if it might get him the promise another book contract.
Someone once said that Matt Taibbi sounds like he's holding in a big hit of weed. It's so true.
