Lolllll...the CEO of NPR is complaining about Elon labeling NPR's Twitter account "US State affiliated media"
They should all stop using Twitter. They are using a privately owned website run by an egomaniacal narcissist who *NEEDS* attention, and continuing to post and break stories there.
They know that he's a dip so why are they complaining when he acts like a dip
?
Yes to this -> "A vigorous, vibrant free press is essential to the health of our democracy.”
You know what's *not* essential though? *TWITTER*
They can just stop using it.

Taibbi is such a hack. Lying blatantly on Twitter and Substack is a lot easier than when you are confronted by an interviewer who is very good and asks pointed questions with receipts for all to see.
Watch him get schooled here by @mehdihasan
And then Taibbi corrected *3* of his tweets *AFTER* saying that he "stood by his reporting"
LOLLLLL
#Twitter #TwitterFiles #USPolitics #USPol
Taibbi *demanded* to go on @mehdihasan show and got *ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASSED and HUMILIATED*, but like all grifters and charlatans, he's doubling down and claiming that he was "attacked" and that his "reporting" is accurate.
LOLLLLL..perfect time for this Dril tweet
We need Dril on Mastodon...

Detailed takedown of Taibbi aka #MattyDickPics by @emptywheel
"As to the factual dispute, there is none. #MattyDickPics and his Elmo-whisperer Mike Benz are wrong. The error stems from either an inability to read an academic methodology statement or the ethic among these screencap boys that says you can make any claim you want so long as you have a screencap with a key word in it."
This is what Elon and his paid "journalists" including Taibbi, Weiss and Shellenberger are doing, trying to discredit how central the orange is to election disinformation in the US all while racking up those Substack subs and

And here is @mmasnick with another devastating takedown of the lying, grifting Substack bro Taibbi aka #MattyDickPics
*"There remains no there there. It’s less than a Potemkin village. There isn’t even a façade. This is the Emperor’s New Clothes for a modern era. Taibbi is pointing to a naked emperor and insisting that he’s clothed in all sorts of royal finery, whereas anyone who actually looks at the emperor sees he’s naked."*
