I love Matt Yglesias and listen to Weeds regularly. Folks like him, Ezra Klein, Glenn Greenwald, and Matt Taibbi made their names attacking mainstream journalism from the left in the early 2000s. Now, they’ve decamped for platforms like Substack because they can’t speak their minds at liberal media organizations which in some cases they founded!
There is a great episode of Megyn Kelly’s new podcast where she and Taibbi commiserate about the direction of mainstream media: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-megyn-kelly-show/i.... It’s cats and dogs lying together.
