He lived more than 10 years in Russia and surely got compromised. He always does what Russia wants and currently Russia wants articles like this.
Compromised? The guy who blew the lid on Twitter? Not hardly.
I was reading Matt Taibbi's work back when he was in Russia, when he wrote for a paper named "The eXile." Compromised? In a word, "No." He did hate the CIA's gambit in prompting Clinton's crooked pro-Moslem war in Kosovo. Does that make him a 'commie traitor'? No, at that time he was more of a libertine libertarian. Some of those come around about Democrat corruption, and he really has in a manner similar to Michael Shellenberger.
