Question: Who won the Galloway-Hitchens debate?
Answer: Amy Goodman!
Amy Goodman: Christopher Hitchens, as you’ve changed your views over time, do you feel that the media is friendlier to you?
[Laughter]
Hitchens: Um. I’m just. Trying to think. Um. No I have, I have um. I was a columnist for say Vanity Fair where most of my readers follow my stuff. Um, before I, um, resigned from the Nation for example, and I still, as it were get that job back quitting the Nation, um, I have a feeling I know the imputation of what you’re saying. Um, but, I would think I probably wouldn’t be the best judge in my own cause. I can see the editor of the Nation magazine sitting in the front row, I’d feel fairly confident that if you asked him he would not say that I left the Nation in order to improve my salary prospects, but um. And I frankly think that’s a bit a waste of a question.
