Racket News

By Matt Taibbi

News and features by best-selling author and reporter Matt Taibbi, in an independent package molded after I.F. Stone's Weekly. The site contains investigative journalism, satirical commentary, and the America This Week podcast with novelist Walter Kirn.

"Drunk in a Bubble"--the Matt Taibbi & Walter Kirn discussion of John Cheever's short-story, "The Swimmer," compared to the current upper class is so well-done.
