Matt Taibbi's truthiness analyzed

[Octafish]

43. Taibbi is doing his job. None of that shows he's lied.

Gee, stevenleser. No where in those links does it show Taibbi is liar.

A post from 2009, referencing articles from 2003:

Guy reported quotes straight out of the subjects' mouths. Must've satisfied his editor at The Nation.

More criticizing Taibbi for mentioning crapola that is TARP:

Neil Barofsky was the Inspector General for TARP, and just wrote a book about his time in D.C. called Bailout: An Insider Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street.

SNIP...

For regulators it's something like this:

For those with integrity, along for the rest of us, it's Austerity Time. Again. Which is what Taibbi wrote. So where's the "truthiness", stevenleser?
