S03E47 Mainstream Media and Distrust

John and Kevin discuss the recent Munk Debate on the topic of mainstream media and distrust. Is the swing over to the side of not trusting the mainstream media indicative of a larger social trend? As an added bonus, at the end of the show they discuss a excerpt from the debate about Twitter and the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story. That story received new life when one of the debaters, Matt Taibbi, released new documents, known as the Twitter Files, two days after his appearance on the Munk Debate.
