Taibbi is a prog journalist but recently he’s shown that he’s one of the few progs who actually believes in objective reality.

In this article he warns that when the intelligence agencies begin dictating who gets to be president then we are already living in a banana republic and revolution can’t be far behind. Worth a read.
I read that too and thought that it was a pretty good synopsis of the events even if shaded to anti-trump. He does admit that the progressives have been involved in significant shenanigan’s. My brother is a hard anti-Trump sort who reads very little and gets most of his info from CNN. I thought the Taibbi piece might work as a wedge.
As much as I hate praising any of the progressives, it does point to some trace of objectivity or honesty that Taibbi has that almost all his brethren lack completely.
