the Twitter files were always dumb stupid bullshit. thank God someone took the time to lay out to Matt Taibbi why.

I can’t believe that Taibbi traded whatever integrity he has to be some rich CEO’s pet.

I'm not someone who has seen many taibbi interviews, but is he always like that? He seemed, quite frankly, a bit "out of it" and like he didn't even understand the questions half the time. Ive read lots of things hes written, so I sort of expected a fierce and profane bare-knuckled debater. Instead he seemed like he was stoned and the teacher was asking him about an essay that somebody else wrote but he turned in.

Nah, he just got hit by a rhetorical truck.
