Tiabbi comes from the Exile milieu, along with Yasha Levine, Mark Aimes, and John Dolan. Out of the bunch, his brain is definitely the most fried. It doesn't surprise me that he got invited on. If Chapo started a couple years earlier, they probably would have had Glenn Greenwald on too. A lot of journalists have brainworms. Some of them stumble upon good reporting a while before spinning out completely.
They had Greenwald on when he broke the story that got Lula freed (which was like the one good story he did). A recent War Nerd episode with those three guys you mentioned completely eviscerated him.
I have a lot of respect for the rest of these guys despite their individual quirks, which is why I brought it up. It is wild to see how far people like Taibbi have fallen. Especially Greenwald, who went from disclosing the Snowden leaks to shoveling red meat for chuds.

Even :the-podcast: had Glenn Greenwald on, it was before he fell off the deep end.
he did write a book on Eric Garner too so it totally makes sense that he would be on the show.
