Wasn’t Matt Tiabbi discredited for some badly bungled pseudo-journalism a while back? I seem to recall some incident like that.
Everything Matt Taibbi writes is badly bungled pseudo journalism.
He once claimed he was inspired to become a journalist by Hunter S. Thompson; either he is unclear on the distinction between straight reportage and satire, or perhaps he’s attempting to mimic the gonzo style for which Thompson became famous, and he just fails miserably.
I’ve read several of his articles. Honesty was nowhere to be found in any of them.
