The second half of Max's show is an interview with Matt Taibbi. Interesting. He makes a point I've pondered on before. How journalists used to be investigative. Now they are just moronic PR regurgitators.

half of 25. 2nd half. Its not shattering stuff just a discussion about the banks now being mobsters, using the same methods but people can't detect it because banks are perceived as legitimate business people these days.

good to see the face behind some of those excellent stories that have appeared in RS who seem to buck the MSM trend.

Starts about 12:45.

Puff piece.

They didn't discuss how the journalists are controlled through the mega corps that own the news service they work for.

They didn't discuss the banks having their own men within .gov that finish greasing the wheels.

They didn't discuss the mafia angle analogy with the campaign contributions of the uber rich and their companies.

Brought of the "murder" of Kevlar and compared it to not arresting Corzine. I was wondering if Taibbi was c.o. Max was the one that brought Kevlar up. About the last 1:30.

This lastest piece by Keiserstein should hopefully be the final nail for him as being c.o. imho.

Remember folks, Bernanke is a Protestant.

Taibbi has long been CO. He's written on more than 1 occasion that anyone questioning .gov on 911 is a conspiritard, or some such nonsense.

I think of him as a MSM pressure release valve of sorts.

I don't remember that about Taibbi, but I don't doubt you.

The other thing he said in the vid that piqued my interest was when he said "I come from a family of journalists". The "journalist" families that I am familiar with are zio controlled. Mike Wallace and his boy come to mind.
