Taibbi is the one who went to First Look(Greenwald works there).. after leaving Rolling Stone and the owner attempted to strip him of his management duties..

snip//

"Amazingly, on Thursday, First Look’s own publication “The Intercept” reported the full behind-the-scenes primer on Taibbi’s exit, which ended up being a tale of anti-corporatist Taibbi butting heads with Omidyar over everything from hiring to seating assignments in Racket’s 5th Avenue office. The piece also reports a female Racket staffer filed a complaint to upper management after Taibbi allegedly verbally abused her. Taibbi denied those claims. This incident, coupled with the previous conflict between he and Taibbi, led Omidyar to try and strip Taibbi of his management duties."

MOre..

Matt Taibbi's stance against Choice and his stance against Gays are disgusting.
