Taibbi was one of a few right-wing substackers that Musk tapped to publicize the "Twitter Files", now Musk is on a rampage against Substack.

In the French Revolution many of the early instigators like

themselves became victims of the guillotine. (e.g. Movements turn on their own)

Yeah, but that makes massive sense with Robespierre. He was paranoid and bloodthirsty, if I was there and in any way opponent, I would want him dead before he kills me.

Taibbi isn't right-wing.

He works for them now tho.

He seems to be serving a lot of right wing interest groups lately.

To be honest, I've seen GW Bush image rehabilitated by Democraticly aligned media during the Trump era. It's not as simple as right vs left.

It seems that most of MSM accepted Iraq WMD story as true based on CIA/MI5/TLA "proof" (a glass canister in a string of pearl configuration holding the deadly gas, which seems to be an informant ripping off Michael Bay's The Rock). And rather than accepting an L and correcting it, they doubled down on TLA sources. Now, you have former intelligence members serving as sources, journalists, anchors, etc. I'm sure that they will be skeptical of their previous work, right? Right?!

They also serve right wing interests, because they are right wing interests.
