Matt Taibbi -—the “journalist” who writes these so-called in-depth political exposes for Rolling Stone-— is one of the most unapologetically biased propagandists of the left ever.
He presents his ranting a as news “reporting” while making no attempt whatsoever to disguise his hatred for facts or truth.
He’s a disgrace to a once proud profession.
He claims to be channeling Hunter S. Thompson, who, first of all, was funny, which Taibbi is not; secondly, Thompson was clearly and admittedly writing while under the influence of drugs, an excuse Taibbi cannot claim; and thirdly, Thompson never claimed to be reporting straight news. Thompson knew the diff between reporting news and satirizing the news, a distinction which which Taibbi clearly disregards or doesn’t do well in any event.

I truly hate the guy.
