". . .Every adult I knew growing up seemed to be in media,” Taibbi said during his opening remarks to start the debate. “I love the news business. It’s in my bones. But I mourn for it. It’s destroyed itself.”
"Toronto — Conservative commentator Douglas Murray and veteran reporter Matt Taibbi soundly defeated their
opponents in a Wednesday evening debate on the question of whether to trust the mainstream media, convincing
a significant segment of the audience to abandon their faith in an institution they say is hopelessly compromised
by bias.
"The debate, held at Roy Thomson Hall in downtown Toronto and sponsored by the Canadian cultural non-profit
Munk Debates, featured Taibbi and Murray squaring off against the tremendously popular non-fiction author
Malcolm Gladwell and New York Times opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg, who made the case for continued
trust in major American and Canadian outlets. ". . .
