Matt Taibbi: The Collapse of the Censorship Regime
Are the online speech wars over? Just asking questions.
Award-winning journalist Matt Taibbi joins Reason‘s Zach Weissmueller and Liz Wolfe on Just Asking Questions today to help analyze Vice President J.D. Vance’s blistering speech at the Munich Security Conference, where Vance called on Europe’s leaders to stop suppressing speech, banning populist political parties, and annulling elections. Taibbi predicts Vance’s speech will be “remembered as a moment of grave importance,” as it signals the “collapse of the post–World War II order.” They also discuss a nonconfrontational 60 Minutes segment about German speech laws, Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation as director of national intelligence, the crumbling legitimacy of legacy media, and why Taibbi is glad Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election.
You can find Taibbi’s work these days at racket.news and on the America This Week podcast with Walter Kirn.
