SEAN SPEER: Welcome to Hub Dialogues. I’m your host, Sean Speer, editor-at-large at The Hub. I’m honoured to be joined today by Douglas Murray, a best-selling British author and journalist who’s the associated editor of the Spectator Magazine, a columnist for the New York Post, and a Fox News contributor. He’s also one half of the debate team, along with American writer Matt Taibbi, in the latest Munk Debate centered on the resolution: Be it resolved, don’t trust the mainstream media.

I was grateful to speak with Douglas on the afternoon of the debate about some of its key topics, how he’s avoided being canceled, and why he thinks democracy must be rooted in gratitude. The next voice we’ll hear is mine in conversation with British author and journalist, Douglas Murray. 

SEAN SPEER: Douglas, thank you so much for joining me.

DOUGLAS…
