(135,425 posts)excruciating detail, speculating on that being the reason that the guy got downgraded and shoved out the door (principled departure, my ass), and that didn't stop us from publishing WITHOUT GETTING ANY COMMENT from the guy we're accusing of being a sexist shitheel who was volatile, disloyal, and fomented dissent amongst his staff!"
That's the take-away from this thing, like it or not.
I'm sure you wouldn't like it if I or anyone else said something nasty about you that started out "None of us witnessed any of the alleged behavior...." but then followed up with you being stuffed under a bus.
This is a hit piece. It might be deserved, it might not, but make no mistake--this is a crucifixion of Taibbi. And it sounds to me like it's a top down deal.
