But as we’ve seen, the Left has now fractured - castigating liberals like Matt who don’t accept their orthodoxy without question. In 2020, Matt announced the majority of his work would no longer be published at Rolling Stone after 15 years with the publication. He planted his flag at Substack to continue journalism independently. In this episode, we discuss what’s left for liberalism and journalism today, plus s...2022-06-261h 08The Fifth ColumnThe Fifth Column348 w/ Matt Taibbi "Richard Perle in New Jersey, Putin in Hell, Ukraine in Crisis"Does the media have this conflict wrong?The privatization of protestEurope shutting down shitty, Kremlin-funded mediaWait, did Matt Taibbi just say he was warming to intervention?Verdict: unclearNo due process for shitty, Kremlin-funded oligarchs America's overlooked role in the beginnings of PutinismCould Russia have been democratic?Mearsheimer and the interminable NATO debateThe narcissism of Twitter war tourismTaibbi post game On Biden's SOTU speechOn the forgotten trade wars See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Russiagate just destroyed it” and we discuss some corporate media reaction to the piece. We think back on the changes to American policy and American life brought about by the WMD lies, the Iraq War and the War on Terror and the likelihood of serious, real world consequences of the Russiagate conspiracy.
