Taibbi is extremely undisciplined, almost unserious. He started referring to the “government” in this clip when it was not the government. And we all know government is a key element of any 1A censorship convo. And he won’t confront Mehdi’s point on Twitter terms of service.

Matt got exposed so badly here that even he can't defend his own agenda driven reporting of twitter files. I think this is end of his career as a journalist.
