  1. "The #Taibbi/ #Shellenberger interpretation of the #TwitterFiles is an attempt to shut down the rights of private companies to enforce their own rules and cultivate their own communities, by laundering it with actual censorial #government acts."

    With the benefit of hindsight, I don’t think #Taibbi went anywhere. His writing on the housing/banking crisis was just the Putin anti-capitalism propaganda we wanted to hear at the time.

  5. #Snowden seems to love @pluralistic. Have you asked him to join the #fediverse, Cory? I desperately want #Greenwald #Taibbi and all the other dissident lefties here. Free #Assange!

  13. Let’s face it. Matt Taibbi isn’t all that hard to understand. It’s what happens when a talented journalist gets corrupted by becoming dedicated to how much money he can make instead of exposing the truth.
    Eventually, a price must be paid.

    “…we went from Taibbi praising Musk for supporting free speech … to Taibbi leaving Twitter, and Musk not just unfollowing him but shadowbanning him and all his Twitter Files.
    In about 48 hours.”

  15. The amazing @mmasnick :

    “we went from Taibbi praising Elon Musk for supporting free speech and supposedly helping to expose the evil shadowbanning of the old regime, and refusing to criticize Musk on anything, to Taibbi leaving Twitter, and Musk not just unfollowing him but shadowbanning him and all his Twitter Files.

    “In about 48 hours.”

  17. CW: Taibbi needs an editor

    There’s a lot “what happened to #Taibbi? What happened to #GlennGreenwald?” stuff on Nazi bird app. Accusations of grift and such. Stepping back: Setting oneself up on Substack and marketing one’s work is an enterprising path. And precedented: I.F. Stone ran his excellent weekly newsletter out of his home from 1953 to 1971.

    But most of us are not Stone, and even he might have benefited from another editor, at least at a copy desk, even though he was famously careful.

  19. CW: Taibbi needs an editor

    Now #Taibbi is out on a limb. He’s on his own, graduated from having an editor as far as we can tell, with a large following that defends him against criticism and tells him he’s great. That’s a precarious place to be. His reaction to having errors in his reporting pointed out since the #twitterfiles went live (and questions about his sourcing and independence) is to circle the wagons and conflate every criticism with the personal attacks. Bad place to be.

  21. CW: Taibbi needs an editor

    Not seeing anyone else talking about this, so I’ll give it a shot: A good #editor, especially a hard-nosed old-school news dog, would have handed #Taibbi this ass-whipping in a newsroom, not on television.

    And it might have led to a better story, even if it didn’t bear out his initial conclusions.

    One of the vulnerabilities of the Substack model is that most of us need editors. Good ones save your ass. #journalism

  25. Taibbi will no longer be doing any future Twitter Files reporting, it seems … a mass exodus of top birdsite content creators has begun; Musk’s decision to block Substack despite his claims of Free-Speech stands a good chance of ending twitter in the next 2 months #Taibbi #twitterfiles #twitter #musk

  27. @juddlegum

    Mat Taibbi, the one who worked with Musk to promote deliberate disinformation about pre-Musk-Twitter (aka the #TwitterFiles), is getting bit in the face by Musk-Twitter's new policy.

    Did Taibbi not know that Musk was part of the "Leopards Eating Faces" party? Or did he think that the Musk leopards would never eat his face?

  29. Marcy Wheeler capably & in great detail shreds the efforts by #disinformation actors to sow confusion after Matt #Taibbi's laughable performance on Mehdi Hasan's MSNBC show last night: "What they’re complaining about is that a bunch of academics and other experts figured out what the scale and scope of mis- and disinformation was in 2020." @emptywheel @mehdihasan emptywheel.net/2023/04/07/matt #biglie #Trump #ElonMusk #fascism
