Acute stuttering.

but he worked hard on it

He worked hard? Didn't he pretty much just parrot what Musk told him to, or sorry, take the exact information Musk gave him to specifically drive forth the narrative Musk wanted and did nothing else. He didn't work contacts that leaked anything that didn't wanna be seen

Sad how Matt from five years ago would be disgusted in present day Matt. His performance on your show really shows how he hasn’t yet adjusted to being a sellout hack journalist, he could barely utter a full sentence 😂😂🤡

Taibbi, like most hacks, comes off as completely hackish when actually pressed.

He sounds like he's on the verge of crying

When I’m criticized for not doing my job I often rebuttal with “why are you giving me a hard time?”. Could be why I’m currently unemployed though.

Taibbi just lost his perspective after Snowden and Assange like so many others on the left. Their righteous dubiousness of those times was important and admirable. But, now, they have their own double standards
