Me: "Why not [fix the error]? Do you not have editors at [your site] The Racket?" Matt Taibbi: "I didn't realize that until now."

Me: "They flagged 3,000 [tweets]. So you were off by 21,997,000." Matt Taibbi: "I stand by my story." In fact, he doesn't. Taibbi has, since our interview earlier today, removed this error/tweet from his Twitter Files reporting. Full interview tonight.

@mtaibbi @MehdiHasanShow You’re a sad hack who runs interference for bad people.

@mtaibbi @MehdiHasanShow Normally, I'd go with "Stop it! He's already dead" when someone receives a rhetorical beating this savage. But in this case, considering the blatant lack of journalistic standards applied to the reporting he continues to "stand by" ...

@mtaibbi @MehdiHasanShow Mehdi, you act like a bona fide bully, bombarding Matt then not letting him speak. Here is a clip in which the individual himself says CISA - which probably explains Matt’s reporting on that issue.

@mtaibbi @MehdiHasanShow It’s astonishing how little he cares about huge errors. Excellent interview, I doubt he will be on again.

@mtaibbi @MehdiHasanShow I’ve had my differences w/ these writers. But what you are doing here is wrong. The number is actually far higher than what Matt reported. Not lower. Most of the flagging is hidden in the political misinfo model. None of those were ever counted.

@mtaibbi @MehdiHasanShow I am really surprised that he agreed to go on with you. I mean, what was he expecting? 😂

@Lawrence @mtaibbi @MehdiHasanShow How embarrassing for @mtaibbi, being dressed down in public after carrying @elonmusk’s water so publicly. What a fraud, what a puppet.
