The youtube version:
Well isn't that something, the only 3 subscriptions I pay for--TC, Taibbi and Sasha--all rolled up in one place.
Back in the day Taibbi was the reason I cancelled my Rolling Stone subscription. I even took the time to write them a letter and tell them as much. I got tired of his left-wing blathering when all I wanted to do was read about music. What I didn't realize then was that he has principles, and I admire that greatly, so I'm happy to subscribe now.
TC was never on my radar until a couple years ago when I heard his interview with JP Sears. That got me curious. And we have similar backgrounds (same age, born in the same place, lived in a lot of the same places, same influences) so he resonates with me, and I had the same epiphany over the Iraq war, and war in general, as he did, around the same time. He is also principled.
Sasha? Hummm....Seems she has principles as well. So there's the common thread.
Taibbi is a fact-based objective journalist.
Why is he the exception rather than the rule?
Alt media will continue to grow in popularity so long as main stream media continues to fail to do their job.
Excellent interview!
