Matt Taibbi, Clown Journalist

By feeding far Right fantasies, Taibbi is handing power to a MAGA infected Republican Party hell bent on revenge.

If you believe Matt Taibbi, the latest #TwitterFiles dump proves definitively that the Russia collusion story was a Democratic conspiracy theory. Furthermore, Democrats and mainstream media outlets need a “truth and reconciliation” moment to come to terms with the damage they did to the country in the wake of Trump’s election in 2016.

Here was Taibbi last week demanding Hillary Clinton “answer questions” about her role in “manufacturing a public panic”:

Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi

So @HillaryClinton, a former Senator, supports blocking the oversight powers of congress based on what we’ve shown in the #TwitterFiles were fantasies about Russian collusion. She needs to answer questions about the role her campaign played in manufacturing a public panic. https://t.co/3nXAWYXJCD

You might note that in the clip Clinton doesn’t actually say she supports the White House’s position, or anything about “blocking the oversight powers of congress”, but more on that later.

The alternate reality Taibbi has constructed for his readers is metastasizing rapidly in the wake of Elon Musk’s latest Twitter leak. He isn’t just reaching his army of Substack followers, but millions of Twitter users now convinced centrist liberals are knee deep in a shadowy conspiracy to keep them confused and ignorant. To convince the public of this Democrat/Deep State/Mainstream Media collusion, Taibbi has been telling his readers that the evidence they have seen is not the evidence they have seen. In fact, the evidence Matt Taibbi has published on his Twitter account isn’t what you think it is either — it is what Matt Taibbi says it is: a conspiracy of epic proportions, so serious he has staked his entire career on proving it.

If you look carefully at his reporting on the latest Twitter Files leak, you will see evidence of a journalist who hasn’t just lost his way, but one who has forgotten everything about his profession.
