Who said he was the victim of identity theft?
Why the personal visit? Not a phone call. Not a letter. A personal UNANNOUNCED visit.
And, you naively think that the IRS is not weaponized. LOL.

Something like that would be pretty easy to fake. I'll believe it when I hear it from a more credible source than Taibbi.

I wonder if this is a criminal investigation?

You just cannot admit that our government has been weaponized under Biden.
It is ironic that you consider Taibbi not credible. He is an award winning liberal journalist. Maybe it is because he happens to be highly ethical that you are bothered by him.

State the ways in which he is, as you claim, not credible. Concrete examples complete with cites to verifiable, neutral sources, please. TIA.

Taibbi won all sorts of awards exposing the financial crisis and was one of the most trenchant critics of the Iraq War. He has more liberal bonafides than everyone in this thread, but these people don’t like him because he isn’t a spineless partisan sycophant. We’re in DC, where having a moral and ethical compass that doesn’t bend with the whims of what either party’s leadership dictates is scene as a negative, so I’m not surprised these people hate Taibbi.

Taibbi may once have had credibility but he's ruined it. He HAS BECOME a political sycophant. The severe, dishonest skew of his reporting on the Twitter Files is more than enough to establish that.

Here's another thing that I wonder why he didn't report on it...

Twitter's algorithm is actively and deliberately suppressing and downranking any tweet about Ukraine. https://www.yahoo.com/news/analysis-twitter-algorithm-code-reveals-072800540.html

Why doesn't Musk want us to know about that? Why doesn't Taibbi?

You folks just can't admit that what Taibbi is doing is revealing the dirty workings of this corrupt administration. The same administration that tried to implement a Ministry of Truth.

And, as for the algorithm issue ... that type of thing is not going to show up in the Twitter Files, which is what he reported on.

And, Taibbi responded to Anne Applebaum about this issue:

What Taibbi has "revealed" is grossly overblown.

What Taibbi has danced around and has NOT revealed is the far bigger and far scarier story of how Twitter is ACTUALLY being manipulated by bots and cyber armies run by hostile foreign powers as a vehicle for psyops and mass influence operations.

This is whataboutism, and doesn't address the issue. And why is Taibbi SO opposed to rooting out disinformation campaigns on Twitter?

I wonder how many of Matt Taibbi's substack subscribers are Russian

Those "bots" from foreign powers were likely manufactured by people right here in the USA.

Gaslighting. Prigozhin had an entire multi story office complex working American social media as a troll factory to influence US and other elections and admitted it.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-prigozhin-admits-links-what-us-says-was-election-meddling-troll-farm-2023-02-14/

The Chinese and others also have massive social media operations going.

Its absolutely astounding and hugely suspicious that anyone would try denying or deflecting from this.

Honestly. I think some people here partake too much in the MJ and get paranoid delusions
