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

[MADem]

77. I don't "have a vendetta against Greenwald." Come on, grow up--saying silly things like that just

makes me not want to even discuss anything with you. "Waaaah, you hate Greenwald!!!" is not accurate. I am troubled by his obvious monetization of this matter, I find the drip-drip-drip of leaks, following the SECSTATE around the globe, both curious and political (and to the benefit of Vladdie Putin--someone, who, oddly enough, Matt Taibbi suggested had a "little boy" problem in at least one article) and I suspect his motives are less than pure. His rage when a colleague dropped a "research primer" sort of book on Snowden was most definitely over the top, odd, and unprofessional.

Of course, he has a book dropping on Snowden himself in a month or two, and I would speculate that he feared that other Guardian reporter would steal a piece of his Snowden pie.
