You have got to be kidding me, right after Taibbi came out with that idiot-grade Marcuse piece and Greenwald tsk-tsked Ocasio-Cortez for not working with Cruz (both factually false—she attempted to work with him a few years ago—and insane, given his role in fomenting the mob on Jan 6)? The only thing Taibbi has going for him is a bracing writing style; Greenwald can't even muster that, and neither of them has any insight.
1) I haven't read the Marcuse piece, I don't really come to Taibbi for essays on intellectuals to be honest. Try reading I can't breathe, really good book on a topic you and I are probably ideologically aligned.
2) They're about the only two well known journalists in the US who have insights on security services info washing and enmeshing with the media, I guess it depends what you are concerned about.
3) I'm not all-in on some of their discussions of cancel culture but point two is waaaay more important in the grand scheme of things.
