Time to start getting things done.

Best thing I’ve read today: Matt Taibbi’s column, “We Need a New Media System,” on his Substack site. I like to read Taibbi and, for similar reasons, Glenn Greenwald, because they remind me of the editorial biases—including my own—that exist everywhere and that I shouldn’t blindly absorb something simply because I may agree with the author’s politics. Greenwald can be off putting at times but I respect his ardent support of press freedom and his calling out of journalistic hypocrisy, which is one point where he and Taibbi converge.

It’s been interesting over the last several months as Taibbi has been unrelentingly criticized on Twitter by commenters questioning his “allegiance” or his journalistic chops (“he used to be good—what happened to him?”) when all he’s been doing is saying that the left shouldn’t criticize the right for things the left also does.
