MSNBC Host Makes Matt Taibbi Squirm Over His ‘Twitter Files’ Errors
Matt Taibbi, one of the journalists Elon Musk handpicked to disseminate the so-called Twitter Files, found himself flailing Thursday when confronted by MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan over the key errors in his reporting.
At one point in the heated and lengthy interview, which spanned more than 20 minutes, Hasan brought up some glaring mistakes within Taibbi’s reporting on the supposed anti-conservative censorship and government interference that took place within Twitter prior to Musk’s purchase of the platform.
Noting that Taibbi repeatedly referenced the Election Integrity Project (EIP) throughout the Twitter Files, Hasan noted how critics have pointed out that much of Taibbi’s reporting on the center is just false.
