John Batchelor and Matt Taibbi dissect the corpse of US journalism. Russiagate Hoax, Continued

"The liberal media Russiagate failure and what is to be done?" with Matt Taibbi. The John Batchelor Show, March 25. Podcast, Part 1 and Part 2.

For background to the discussion, read Matt's It's official: Russiagate is this generation's WMD - "The Iraq war faceplant damaged the reputation of the press. Russiagate just destroyed it."

The article, actually a chapter from a self-published book (Hatc, Inc.: "How the Press Makes Us Hate One Another"), has been the shot heard round the news media world since it was published on March 23. It's provoked any number of defenses of the news media's handling of Russiagate and at least one thinly-disguised rant against Matt. (Joe Scarborough of MSNBC's Morning Joe.)
