Taibbi #metoo
I was talking to my sister this morning about seeing Matt Taibbi on Joe Rogans podcast, and she asked if they brought up his recent #metoo shaming. I was at a loss, as I hadn't heard anything about it.
Remember the eXile? I hadn't thought about that site in years, and I'd completely forgotten that was my first exposure to Taibbi. War Nerd??? Get the fuck out of here, that shit was amazing! However some of it was also over the top misogyny, terrible tales of things done to staff and prostitutes, the kind of writing that was all the rage at the time. Apparently that has come back to haunt him.

A discussion elsewhere mentioned that this was the turning point for Taibbi losing any remaining journalistic integrity.
Looking back, I have to agree.
War Nerd is apparently still rocking it - just from behind a paywall.
