I'm well aware of him. I've seen him many times on Bill Maher's show.
He's a total and complete idealogue who does nothing but go after Republicans.
He isn't questioning the Obama Administration on ANYTHING.
The only reason you and many perceive his as "getting it", is because he echoes your own view.
My question would be...why isn't he going after the PRESIDENT? Or any Democrats?
Lord knows there is plenty of stupidity and corruption...but watching him on Bill Maher, he had only ONE target: Republicans.
He is supposed to be a journalist.
The whole reason for having a "free press" is to question authority and hold them up for public scrutiny.
He did a great job of that when Bush was President.
Not so much for the last 5 years.
That you don't see that should lead you to some introspection.
We have Fox News on one side attacking everything Democrat.
And the rest of the media on the other side attacking everything Republican.
It's a fucking disgrace and the antithesis of what the press is supposed to be doing.
As for Matt Taibbi himself...he's not fit to carry Bob Woodward's jock strap.
