Taibbi: Mainstream media is dead

In a recent episode of Going Underground, journalist Matt Taibbi delved into the implications of Donald Trump’s re-election victory, critiquing what he views as legacy media’s unsuccessful campaign to defeat Trump and support Kamala Harris.

Taibbi, known for his work on the Twitter Files and as publisher of Racket News, the former Rolling Stone contributing editor sees Trump’s win as more than a political shift—it marks a profound change in how Americans view traditional authorities.

“People are no longer just ignoring authorities; they’re actively defying them,” Taibbi noted, pointing to the rising desire for free speech and reduced digital censorship.

He voiced optimism that the current political climate, including figures like JD Vance and Elon Musk, could push for more open discourse and challenge online restrictions.

Taibbi also addressed broader geopolitical issues, speculating on the future of Ukraine under Zelensky and questioning whether Trump would curb US involvement in foreign wars.

He reflected on the vilification of the working class since the 2008 financial crisis, arguing that mainstream media’s narrative alienated a significant voter base. Taibbi also cited Harris’s rejection of popular alternative media outlets, like Joe Rogan’s podcast, as a crucial mistake in her campaign.

He called for a larger-scale transparency effort akin to the Twitter Files, suggesting that an exposé on government censorship and covert foreign policies could reshape the public’s trust in authority.

Taibbi concluded by exploring the potential composition of Trump’s new cabinet, his approach to the national security apparatus, and the ongoing economic monopolisation that he believes Trump must address to fulfill his promises.

  1. It’s not true that Trump would curb US involvement in foreign wars. He want out of Ukraine so he can use that money to fight Iran and China. So same old US imperialism.

    • Trump is not fighting China. He is taxing them and other nations who have extremely low wages so US manufacturing and economy and lifestyle of the working class can have a decent living. Some nations like China are deliberately selling goods below cost to wreck the US. It is called a trade war.

      For example, check out prices on Temu with its free delivery. Larger ticket items from China can be purchased from China too using Alibaba.

      Russia is no longer trading in the Rothschild dollar (also known as US dollar) with nations like Iran and everyone else for big volume natural resources (oil, gas) and well everything else.

      The Federal Reserve is not federal and there is no reserve. It is owned and operated by the Jewish Rothchild family. When the US runs out of money, they print more and the US climbs deeper into debt with the Jewish owned Rothschild family. The cost of printing money causes inflation. Currently, the US debt is Rothchild $36 Trillion.

      The Jews are quite unhappy with Russia and the arrangement to bypass the Rothchilds international currency trade. The Rothschild’s military (also called the US military) to blow up the gas pipe supplying Germany and the UK with gas.

      Not trading in Rothschild currency puts a real spanner in the works for the one world currency, which again will be the Rothschild currency.

      In order to create a war with Russia, the Rothschild government (also called the US government) arrange a war by engineering the independence of Ukraine by making them think they will be a free independent country. The Rothchild’s place weapons of mass destruction on Russia’s doorstep.

      Trump wants to remove the Rothschild currency and return the control to the US government. The Rothchilds arrange to shoot Trump in the head live on TV, but they miss and shoot his ear. Just like the CIA driver who shot President Kennedy in the head for suggesting removing the currency away from the Rothschilds. The Rothchilds blamed it on some Russian dude. Then the CIA paid a gangster to shoot the Russian dude.
