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.

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.

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.

People lost faith in Taibbi years ago. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/10/what-happened-to-matt-taibbi.html

Do you have reading comprehension issues? Serious question. Per the article, Taibbi formed a podcast with a socialist, Katie Halper, and is a mutual admirer of one of the foremost Black socialist intellectuals in the country, Adolf Reed of UPenn. In what world, other than the bizarro world DC echo chamber where neoconservatives make up the back bone of the Democrat party friendly media on MSNBC (Joe Scarborough and Nicole Wallace to name a few), does this make someone a Republican?

Who cares if he's a Democrat or Republican? I sure don't. It's just clear he's a liar. There are plenty of liberals who are liars and I don't have any faith in them either.

Because he made a factual mistake in an article? If you cast aside every journalist who made a mistake in an article you wouldn’t have anyone to read. Taibbi is clearly being marked out because he isn’t towing the party line on this story. He’s an independent voice, not a party stooge, so he must be stopped. Just like MSNBC tried to slander and kneecap Bernie in 2016 and 2020.

+1000
And, he has since corrected it.
Which is more than I can say for some of the "preferred" media of the left.

He fixed one error, but not the many others. In fact, he doubled down on them. And even for the one he fixed, he tries to minimize it. The error was not "one tweet." It was key to his thesis and he repeated it in congressional testimony.

Would that you held MSM to this same standard. Maybe then we wouldn't need rogue independents to get the real juicy stuff.

You think this guy is “independent” when he’s Elon’s lackey. That’s a problem.

He and other similarly situated journalists have been getting this kind of flack from liberals long before Elon and twitter were a thing.

Wait that’s not entirely true. We now know the Trump White House tried to silence critics.
Not a surprise tho.

Au contraire, my dear.
There are thousands of pages of juicy stuff.
They have been highlighted on this very lengthy thread. Lots of evidence of the Biden administration working to shut down speech. Really sad!

If you are still quoting Maatt Taibbi, you lost the argument.

He even got censured from Twitter, LOL.

So I really haven't been following this story, but this email looks like DHS told Twitter that there was some misinformation about the poll closing times for a GA county circulating. This is the gigantic free speech scandal? That is pretty underwhelming.

How about the part where the FBI "warned" that there would be some misinformation coming--right before the drop on Hunter's laptop?

Taibbi was getting flak not only from liberals but respected journalists for at least 2-3 years before Twitter - and rightly so. Once Taibbi set up his own platform he fell into his own bubble of delusion and has been completely high on his own supply.
