I can't take Taibbi and Greenwald's antagonism against "elites" seriously when they take every chance possible to defend the actions of a billionaire President and his billionaire-stuff Cabinet.
- jmeister 6y agoIt’s their policies and actions that matter. Looking at everything from an identity lens is a disease that has corrupted discourse in this country.

- thu2111 6y ago"Elitism" isn't really about material wealth but a set of viewpoints and loyalties.
- wherewillitlead 6y agoThat's so far from accurate that I'm not sure how you got there. Both are squarely on the left and abhor Trump. Chomsky calls Greenwald his close friend, for example, and Taibbi wrote a book called "Insane Clown President" and was one of the strongest journalistic critics of the financial system.
