Matt Taibbi: The Epstein saga

 by Scott Johnson

Last week Matt Taibbi published his column “The Jeffrey Epstein Saga is the Worst-Reported Story of All Time” at Racket News (behind the Racket News paywall). As he occasionally does, however, Taibbi has now had his column read into the record (by Jared Moore) via YouTube in the video below and on the ususal podcast apps. In the column Taibbi performed the kind of media critque at which he excels. I thought some readers might find it of interest.

Taibbi prefaced this column with this explanatory statement: “In expectation of a release of documents pertaining to the Jeffrey Epstein case, reporter Michael Tracey and I are putting out first entries in a series, dealing with prevailing myths and misunderstandings about this case. Michael has been almost alone (along with Jay Beecher) in even asking questions about the case, a role he’s familiar with after Russiagate. We’re glad to have his article, “The Five Craziest Things About the Epstein Case, Vol. 1,” also printed in Racket today” (also behind the Racket News paywall).
