I've been thrown by Greenwald's and Taibbi's shift to the right. In the case of Taibbi it seems like he's still butthurt by getting beaten up over #metoo stuff.
Of course there's plenty to criticize about mainstream media and "leftism", but Taibbi's critiques seem to be significantly aligned with right wing messaging.
I "lean left" but like to consider myself as non-ideological and when I checked what he's had to say lately it seems to be devoid of criticism of the right. I'm not writing this to condemn him, I'm genuinely puzzled. Counter examples welcomed.
Edit: I was curious about Taibbi's change in tone and searched to see if I was alone in this and came across this: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/10/what-happened-to-matt-taibbi.html https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/10/what-happened-to-mat...
