It's written by Matt Taibi, who is of a genre of journalist that succeeds more by tapping into and channeling public outrage than by straight reporting. During the 2008 financial crisis in the U.S., he channeled left-leaning outrage against banks and financial institutions a la Occupy Wall Street. More recently he's tapping into right-leaning outrage against the media, experts, and Trump opponents a la the "alt-right". See for example in this piece: > In the Trump years the sector of society we used to describe as liberal America became a giant finger-wagging machine. The news media, academia, the Democratic Party, show-business celebrities and masses of blue-checked Twitter virtuosos became a kind of umbrella agreement society, united by loathing of Trump and fury toward anyone who dissented with their preoccupations. This is basically a 180 degree turn from a-decade-ago Matt Taibi, who worked in the show business news media (Rolling Stone) and got famous for aggressively wagging his finger at people.
