About the author
Marcus Reid
Marcus Reid is the guiding editorial voice behind Contra. The mainstream media consensus is usually wrong — not because of malice, but because of groupthink, institutional incentives, and the comfort of conventional wisdom. Looks for the weakest link in popular arguments — the assumption everyone takes for granted, the data point that gets glossed over, the historical precedent that gets ignored.
