Sensationalism sells, be it from the right or from the left.

Subject: [blind-democracy] In regard to Jonathan Cook's article
Today I received a short post from Yasha Levine in which he claimed that Matt
Taibbi is "right wing". I won't go into his reason for saying this, but I was
amazed. I couldn't figure out where this was coming from. Now, after reading
the article I just posted, I see that all of the people on the left who aren't
on board with the party line of the "official left" or the Democratic Party,
anyone who is willing to consider alien ideas or that sometimes people of
different political persuasions might be considered as normal, reasonable
people, are to be shunned and categorized as the enemy.
I should also add that The Intercept, which is part of First Look Media, owned
and operated by a billionaire, is constantly begging for donations in order to
continue its work.
