Matt Taibbi Slams David Gregory: 'I Don't Know How He Can Call Himself A Journalist'

[MADem]

72. I didn't say that you "claimed Taibbi didn't have opinions."

But so long as you brought it up, let me point out that I'm simply telling you that journalists refrain from expressing their opinions as a function of their position. You don't hear Brian Williams calling Dumbya the "r" word (something Taibbi did) on the NBC Nightly News, now, do you?

He adored Cindy Sheehan, until he decided that she was too woo-woo for him. There's some fawning for ya. He loved him some Ron Paul, until he decided he couldn't vote for him. He's rather a fickle fawner, but he certainly does fawn. If you know him so well, you're familiar with his work--when he admires people, he fawns--it comes through in his writing, and when he dislikes them, he'll whip out the "r" word or the "m" word, as I illustrated in a previous post. That's not what journalists do.
