Why did Forbes cut the Parts out where Ranking Member Plaskett actually says
"…these so- called journalists"?
And ignores him, by talking and wispering with her team when he's answering her Question?
Eloquent as always
she is a sorry excuse for a so called congress woman but really a lying communst democrat 🙂
Our government is broken, I bet the warranty expired.
This is all great…. But what will ever be done about it?
Nada
Devastating indictment of the Deep State.
Taibbi does good work, and, yes, he goes go out of his way to say that both sides engage in the kind of behavior he is reporting on. However, Taibbi seems like one of those journalists who caught up in their idealized world of journalism that they don't appreciate how the nationalists use them and contort their reporting to advance the very things they oppose. And as the world continues to descend to madness folks like him continue to cling to this idea that they are just being good journalist, if someone use their work to advance knowingly bad ends it is on someone else to do the correction.

Unfortunately the so called government has the same DNA as Social Media. 🤔 911 & JFK ? Same DNA. 3% of America 's population.
Civil America had a chat with the Feds today. Filed more fraud charges on "them". Also filed a complaint on the Feds for taking so long. 🖤😎🇺🇸
Thank you Matt.

OMG how dumb is Plaskett? Really. What a stupid comment.
Bolsheviks have compromised our Federal Government since 9/11.
I was kicked off Facebook twice. The first time I said I had serious doubts about the origin of COVID-19 and even more serious doubts concerning the inoculations that hadn't been tested thoroughly, first time kicked off. Second time I said I believe that the hunter Biden laptop was real that Rudy Giuliani was not a dummy that would fall for Russian BS and then we needed to know the truth and demand to know the truth. Second time kicked off. Both times Facebook said I was attempting to insight violence. Government control 100%
Thank You Matt! Excellent work and invaluable to not just Americans but those across the globe that support the American people- the everyday American! What I find most disturbing is that groups like the Taliban and Antifa are allowed to openly recruit for their respective and often nefarious behaviors, while American citizens are punished for having an opinion!
Amazing times we live watching the demise of the Democratic Party!
What a disgrace these people are. Bought and paid for by the corporations.
I subscribed to Matt's Substack two years ago. Would pay triple what I pay now to continue to read his pieces. Added bonus is also a lot of intelligent commentary from his readership.
He is a REAL journalist. If only all the other so-called “journalists” would do more than read their prepared scripts we wouldn’t have had to endure the last 3 years
PROTECT TAIBBI
Plaskett is barely a congresswoman. She has no voting rights. It would be more appropriate to call her a so called congresswoman
Rock… ON!!!!
Thank you Matt
a Waste of time
#VoteStacyPlaskettOut NOW!
As others here have said, one of the few REAL Journalists left.
They're so mad that the corruption is being brought into the light from its world of darkness. Truly beautiful to see the Democrat Rats scurry and slander because they know there is no defending their precious anrrative now that it's been unearthed.
Matt speaking facts to the uneducated
Indiana Star caught a Man who sexually assaulted 500 underage Women, FBI = IMPOTENT. Gary Webb, San Jose Mercury News revealed CIA drug running to fund covert wars and LOST HIS ENTIRE LIFE for it !, Pegasus software (Israeli) nationally funded subscription service for MONEY found on the phones of all heads of state in the WORLD to the highest bidder (Drug Lords, Criminals, Deep State) and is used to LOCATE FOR ASSIGNATION (Mostly Journalists) all over the world. EU called them on it by the way ! The judicial system in place does not adequately handle the white collar, corporate, military industrial complex crimes WHATSOEVER !
Get to the point. Dont promote tou channel. It discredits your whole agenda.
We American taxpayers pay for 17 intelligence agencies. We also pay MILLIONS for whistleblowers to tell us "ROTTEN TO THE CORE".
Well spoken Matt.
Who laughed?
And destroyed those B – witches!
To give context: Plaskett and Wasserman Shultz had angaged in pathetic and repulsive attacks on Taibbi.
He, in contrast, responded very professionally.
While immoral zealots like these hold positions of authority, I despair for the USA.
It's the media censorship version of The Panama Papers!!
Taibbi….standing up for our rights, nice to see someone doing it.
As Taibbi indicated, he is a legit journalist and had been well established as such before his work on the "Twitter Files". The fact his source contacted him in particular shows that the source was serious about getting the truth out.
I love watching the corruption get exposed.
Being called a so-called journalist is equivalent to a so-called free speech Democrat Senator.
Anybody else curious as to how a non-voting member of the House from the Virgin Islands (nothing against the Virgin Islands, but it's not a state in the Republic) gets to be a ranking member on a committee? Seems a bit odd to me. Plaskett was a former Republican DOJ hire of George W Bush, no coincidence she's now part of the neo-con turned Democrat (and the neo-cons used to be Northeast Trotskyists) internationalists that don't want any Presidents or journalists from outside of their "circle" interfering with their global ambitions. It's like the parasites that hijacked the GOP 50 years ago finally got kicked to the curb and so now they're back to the Democratic Party they infected with British agents like Edward House in the Wilson administration. She probably still has a poster of Scoop Jackson on her wall.
Matt Taibbi is a tool.
Elon didn't share the details on what Trump's administrations requests.
They biasedly focused on Hunter's porn and smoking crack.
Lock Hunter up, people really don't care but this investigation was a nothing burger. It mainly only proved that Trump got preferential treatment and a rule change, survival for Trump, blowing up Republicans while case that Twitter is left leaning.
Matt Taibbi is a grifter just like Greenwald.
Sometimes it is impossible to come to the truth, yet seeing both sides of the story is always possible. It’s evident the deep state left will hide and gag your side.
… turns out the us gov is anti-democratic as well …
Many have been praying for whistle-blowers like this. I think this guy and that fellow to his left are the real deal.
Plaskett a "so called" legislator??
all this and the jan 6th joke we need people to wake up …..
