Me, writing in 2010: bold takedowns of Wall Street and their role in the 2008 financial crisis.
Me, writing 10 years later:
Of course Glem & Taibbi are all in on the 'Let's Go Brandon' shit, because they are just generic RW culture warriors at this point, hiding behind plausible deniability that no one outside of the Fox News bubble buys for a second.
Imagine *this* being what you spend your journalistic output on, in this day and age.
tfw you are not mad (and also not drunk)

This was the most predictable thing from this little sociopath. Never forget that the absolute worst male 'journos' on this site repeatedly went to bat for this creepy, abusive, revenge porn distributing mf'er.
Of course Glem is all in on Tucker Carlson fascistic, Alex Jones-esque Patriot Purge documentary that calls Jan. 6 a false flag. Why? Because he very clearly believes all of that, but like everything, is just too cowardly to outright state it out loud.
And as always, Glem does a wholly disingenuous bait-and-switch acting as if he & Tucker are 'just asking questions', rather than saying that the FBI did 1/6 as a Deep State false flag (which a single FBI informant clearly proves).
The original reporting by Glem's White Nationalist buddy Darren Beattie was clear on this. It wasn't 'wow the FBI had informants', it was 'the FBI organized this whole thing and did it to discredit Trump'...and Tucker ran with it, with Glem's help.
Nothing quite says 'holding Biden accountable' like posting about some dumb out-of-context The Hill headline from March, when the Dems are about to pass massive legislation (much of which is healthcare-related).
A perfect representation of the seriousness of the Online Left.
This man, almost single-handedly made Glem a millionaire, but since Glem is a big pouty baby and they had disagreements (notably that Glem was dead-set on covering up the entire Russia scandal...and also supporting Donald Trump),
so he must be destroyed. Billionaires are EVIL, except for Peter Thiel, who is actually benevolent and really has some good ideas, if you think about it,,,
Meanwhile, on the topic of social media giants aiding RW disinformation....checking in on our buddy, Mr. Bold Adversarial Journalist and he is pre-emptively discrediting the Facebook leaks to come b/c 'it's a very obvious scheme'.
The Facebook Defense Force is in full swing.
I mean, the Wikileaks shit was 'a very obvious scheme' to bring down Hillary Clinton & elect Donald Trump. We learned that from Assange's own words.
The Hunter Biden laptop stuff was 'a very obvious scheme' by Rudy Giuliani and the Trump campaign...but that was good, somehow.
All of that was, 'the documents are authentic(ish), so the motives are irrelevant. You're distracting.' But now, because these highly-documented leaks are seen as 'anti-Republican' (also anti his new sugar daddy Peter Thiel), they must be ignored and discredited.
