Taibbi's phrase-turning on Twitter Files

...a major subtext of the Twitter Files project is what a burn it is on conventional/corporate media, whose minions tried for years to turn Twitter into a giant conformity machine, and cheered each new advance in censorship and opinion control. Those same people now have to watch in helplessness as one horrifying revelation after another spills out, guerrilla-style, into what was not long ago their private playground. This, too, couldn’t be scripted better. It’s like sending an intercontinental shit-missile screaming into the dais of the White House correspondents’ dinner at 15,000 m.p.h. If you can’t see the humor in this, you probably never had a sense of humor to begin with.

Yes, he's talking to you @Hhusky. Please deliver your "Taibbi sold out to do PR for the World's Richest Billionaire" talking points to confirm your MSM toadyism to your masters.

    The funniest thing about all of this is the fact that the Anti-Free Speech Party thought they could just keep calling the Right conspiracy theorists FOREVER.

    The scariest part is the public-private business relationship that Leftists sincerely believe is extra-constitutional. Acting at the behest of the state and doing the state's bidding is state action. But this is lost on the likes of the Dazzler and the other CoronaBros.

    Instant Classic from the guy who described Goldman Sachs as a giant vampire squid wrapped around the world shoving its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

    Good shit.

    5 years ago I wouldn't have listened to anyone like Bongino.

    But since the Left has gone completely hysterical and irrational, Bongino's now a pillar of reason.

    I hope the Left enjoys its bombardment of shit-missiles.

    I was never all that impressed with him. I'm still not.

    But you're right. There's a big anti-woke industry and he's part of it, and at this point, it's listenable after having to walk on eggshells at work all day.

    See ESG. NO ONE is calling this out, and it's going to be the downfall of a nation (and then the world). Corporate America is all bought in on this. and... NOC.

    Read The Dictatorship of Woke Capital by Steven Soukup last year, which should be required reading in any business school or social science class. It's all about ESG and the groups of antifa-like shareholders who threaten and dictate director votes lest they rat out the companies and directors by name and try to ruin them in the marketplace and tank their stock prices. (I told you bullying is effective, didn't I?)

    Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak are all over this shit too, but their "No Agenda" podcast is way too fucking long (2 to 3 hours, 2x per week) and kind of annoying, but right on point with all this woke corporate bullshit.

    I think Taibbi & Co. are just scratching the surface of ESG, but expect they'll dig in and uncover it, hopefully sooner than later.

    Wapo getting caught lying again. Jeezus is there not one person with an ounce of integrity up there? Ever?

    Tabbi and Weiss are not in any way shape or form "Conservatives" and the press knows this more than any of us.

    On a side note and not related to the story linked below, here is a headline this morning from that rag. It has become a joke. Prices rose 7.1% but inflation is getting better. WTF? Get back to us when it is 1%.

    Prices rose 7.1% in the year ending in November, another sign inflation is easing

    They just flat out lie, and they have no morals or shame:

    Washington Post caught stealth-editing report that initially labeled Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss 'conservative'
    Taibbi, Weiss have reported this month on Twitter files released by new CEO Elon Musk

    The Washington Post was blasted for characterizing the center-left reporters behind the viral "Twitter Files" as being "conservative journalists."

    After Fox News Digital reached out to The Washington Post for comment, the word "conservative" was scrubbed from the article. No editor's note nor correction was placed to acknowledge the change but the article itself shows it was "updated" at 10:57p.m. EST.

    When you had 2% inflation, you had a 4% rolling two year price increase. When you have 7% in 2021 and then a year later another 7%, you have 14% over a two year rolling window. It's even higher than that in reality as everyone knows.

    According to the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" Washington Post, the spotlight that Musk, Taibbi and Weiss are shining on the Fed - Twitter coverup makes them conservatives. Never debate the facts, just ad hominem attacks that any opposition to censorship is conservative hate speech. So 1984.

    Taibi is pretty liberal iirc

    He's just a free thinker and realized something is rotten in Denmark

    Same with Greenwald and Weiss. A few honest liberals. I'd like them to explain why they aren't honest conservatives versus progressives.

    Anyone who saw Tim Pool confront Dorsey and Vijajay on Joe Rogan's show 2 years ago knew those two fuckers were lying through their teeth about everything censorious. They should both fuck off back to India and stay there, until Modi gets sick of them and ships them to Pakistan.

    Just more unassailable facts proving that Libtards like @HHusky are retarded.

    Too dumb to know what a "conservative" is. Why am I not surprised?
