Thanks. This is one of the important topics of the age and I hope some serious ground is covered.

I know. The original is in some of Taibbi's posts. I'll look to see if I can find a better one.

I am watching on Youtube and it looks like the likes and viewer count keep spinning but not going up in count to reflect the number of hits. Very odd.

Is Shellenberger still a journalist? Audience-captured activist these days.

At this point I follow Racket News the most. So, Matt Taibbi is the one I'm most interested in viewing.

I avoid paid subscriptions, but I follow Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, and a few others when their content spills over into youtube or reddit. They are among the few real journalists to have escaped the web of censorship and propaganda. I wish more of these people would take Bitcoin donations as Caitlin Johnstone does.
