I forgot that was a Taibbi ep. I have been trying to give both Glenn and Taibbi the benefit of the doubt for their past good reporting but they just keep getting worse and worse. :deeper-sadness:
God, that one was so fucking awful. One of the few episodes that I actively turned off in disgust, rather than just zoning out and doing other things like I usually do when they're not fantastic. Absolute garbage-brained takes on a whole variety of shit.
Citations Needed just did an episode that covered the same ground and made basically the same points. They did it better, because they're a lot more deliberate and polished than Chapo, but I don't think there was anything too out there if you go back and listen.
it's not the primary thing they do though since 85% of their funding doesn't directly come from reactionaries
Yeah true, I dunno if it was necessary to bring it up, but the post reminded me of it and I got salty.
notably the absolute worst chapo takes of all time were in an ep Taibbi guested on
