Matt Taibbi something something Hunter Biden

[BlueSwan]

When did he start loving Trump?

In fairness, he didn't.

But he is one of those former "leftist" reporters who kind of lost the plot in a delusion of edgy "both-sides"-ism.

I mean, he is right that some of the anti-Trump takes of the last 7 years have been over-the-top. But if he thinks some of the attacks on Trump have been unfair, how in the hell does he justify going all batsh*t hysterical over F-ing Hunter Biden - the most irrelevant "scandal" since Obama wore a tanned suit?

He is also right about the hysteria of the ultrawoke left, no doubt about that, but you can never equate some silly leftists on campuses that few people take seriously with one of the two major parties basically turning authoritarian.

Also, you just cannot compare leftleaning media with rightwing media. Rightwing media is basically alternate reality stuff at this point. Leftleaning media is just politically biased, but reports on actual facts.

Given that nearly everyone who decided that was an issue, by making it one, has either became Trumpist or a useful idiot for them, maybe that's always been bs too?

Not really though. Ultrawoke leftists are very real, they are just not anywhere near as important as people hysterically make them out to be. They are mostly confined to the internet and to university campuses. I'm mostly concerned about it because this is a winning issue for republicans and it just shouldn't be. Ultrawoke-ism has very little actual influence on the democratic party.

Matt Taibi was always a smug prick. But he totally went over to the Dark Side after the "Me Too" movement and the revelations that he was a sexual predator and serial harasser.

Was he though? https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/matt-taibbi/the-destruction-of-matt-taibbi/
