Ep 210: Matt Taibbi and the Twitter Files that can't be cancelled, baby.

from Talk To Me Taylor · host Taylor Ferber

Cancel your NY Times subscription... and your plans. Matt Taibbi, the veteran journalist who broke the Twitter Files story, enters the chat. And there ain't no shame in our expose-them-all game. Matt is an award-winning, best-selling reporter with 30 years in the business. He's seen some things. And he's here to report back. Literally. Matt and I talk about his concerning findings in the unprecedented Twitter Files around power, influence, and control of information and thought. From testifying in Congress, to his falling out with (hypocrite much?) Elon Musk, and the IRS showing up at Matt's door -- punches are not to be pulled. We discuss getting shut out by our narrative-driven editors, our experiences at legendary outlets like Rolling Stone and Playboy (that both went from cutting edge to thought police), the bizarre left-right role reversal in the culture wars, and the future as the death of legacy media is more brutal and dragged out than the Red Wedding.
