Taibbi meets the face-eating leopards up close.

  Taibbi has been consistent with people who support free speech. I don’t understand the “you get what you deserve” mentality, when there is nothing he could have done differently to help expose government censorship. You call out government being fascist censors, and you call out power-trip billionaires when they do it too. It’s not like stupidly playing with leopards and having your face eaten. It’s more like being a journalist in a war zone, reporting war crimes from both sides, then being treated like a criminal by both.

    There’s nothing he could have done differently? Really, nothing at all? I’m of the opinion that he could have done everything differently.

    > I don’t understand the “you get what you deserve” mentality, when there is nothing he could have done differently to help expose government censorship. Taibbi did a half-baked job at his reporting. He took one side of the story and regurgitated it, making him a useful idiot. People speculate that he did this for access. Of course, the other side (Twitter's new owners) did it because they're using him for their own narrative, and when they can't use him they screw him over just like they screwed everyone else before. So, leopards ate his face. "I didn't know leopards would eat my face, says woman who voted for the leopards eating people's faces party"
