why your show sucks
i used to be a big fan of antiwar radio. i listened to you insult me each day even tho i agreed with you on 90% of issues - everyone that is not an anarchist "anarcho-capitalist" is a "stuuuuuupid". yea, anyone that is not a member of a ridiculous cult is a "stupid"....

1/12/23 Matt Taibbi on the Twitter Files, Russiagate and Government Censorship
This week on Antiwar Radio, Scott talks with Matt Taibbi about the latest batch of Twitter Files, released seconds before Taibbi jumped on the line. To start, Scott asks Taibbi to respond to the claim he’s become a right-winger. They then dig into the new Twitter Files thread which details the company and government’s response to Tweets relating to Russiagate. Taibbi frames this new drop in the context of all that’s been revealed so far and explains the overarching theme—that the government made a clear shift from monitoring online platforms to working to control what is said on them.
Discussed on the show:
- “Twitter Files #14 THE RUSSIAGATE LIES” (Twitter)
- Buying the War (IMDb)
