It's remarkable, and sad, to see a journalist I once respected disintegrate so completely. This, by @mmasnick, will help you understand Taibbi's descent: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/03/22/matt-taibbi-cant-comprehend-that-there-are-reasons-to-study-propaganda-information-flows-so-he-insists-it-must-be-nefarious/
"n a normal world, the level of just outright nonsense and mistakes in Taibbi’s work would render his credibility completely shot going forward. Instead, he’s become a hero to a certain brand of clueless troll."
Wow, reading the article it sounds like they are misrepresenting the Taibbi quotes that they are presenting for themselves, for the sake of discrediting strawmen.
That's really something in an article that's supposedly about misrepresentations of fact.
So they misrepresent facts about what Taibbi has done in the course of accusing him of misrepresenting facts?
We are in such a weird place these days.
And that's not even getting into the issues around basic claims that, for example, Musk handpicked these journalists.
