That’s what I get for grunching.

You’re saying we should not trust the reporting of NYT and Vox. That is exactly the opposite of what Taibbi is saying. I’ll quote it for you again: I’ll ask you again, why does Vox being neoliberal make its reporting untrustworthy?

Money2Burn, you son of a *****.

I'm guessing this is closer to what Luckbox believes about MLK. The story of his assassination was made up by some combination of the Illuminati and the media. The Illuminati wanted to inflame racial tensions because of reasons. The media just wanted money.

And MLK went along with it because of reasons. Or maybe he was chained up in a basement.

And Luckbox knows this is true because Baden and because of something he gleaned from the open casket photos or the crime scene photos.

Luckbox, how did I do?

Luckbox's take on Taibbi would amount to some next level trolling from Taibbi. It's not like Taibbi is broadcasting his pirate signal from the basement of a secret location. He's part of the system.

Yeah, luck appears to have taken the idea that media outlets only allow opinions within a certain range to be expressed and concluded that that means that the “truth” on any given story is necessarily outside what conventional media outlets are reporting on. So he’s cobbling together all the negative space of media reporting to come up with his ideas about what’s actually going on. It’s actually crazy.

Do you realize how stupid this sounds? Try to get my positions correct because it's really silly that I have to deal with stupid posts like this.

No I do not think the bolded is true.
How did you get that idea?

More news on the Satan front:

A whole chapter of his book Taibbi devotes to how NYT reporters "groupthinked" us into the Iraq war. He says that they didn't lie but then explains how they uncritically swallow official sources and still only present a range of opinion.
I take that to mean don't trust them.
Taibbi is saying that if a plane falls on I-70, that they are going to give you the correct body count. I agree that they will. He says in the vast majority of reporting, trust reporters. There isn't a problem with that statement. Most reporting is on inconsequential stuff.
Let's also point out that Taibbi is a reporter and seems to have a lot of reporter friends, so he's probably not going to be saying that all reporters are pathological liars and he might even find ways to diminish their culpability while still finding ways to attack the news business overall.
You've literally picked one errant line of a book you haven't read and taken it to mean the opposite thesis--that mainstream news is trustworthy.

Poorly. I think there is a conspiracy involving MLK but I've never came across what the answers are and haven't really looked. The King's don't think Ray did it which is good enough for that, but MLK isn't one of the people who I don't think was actually killed but I wouldn't know either way. Baden being involved in a story in any way I'm learning means one should dig deeper, but I don't know what his role with mlk was.

Because it is corporate journalism with corporate masters and corporate responsibilities to produce corporate news that benefits big business.
What you really are asking me is for all of the mechanisms that make this happen.

According to NBC news, Baden chaired the government committee that reinvestigated the death of MLK.

He didn't do the autopsy, but then again, he didn't do the autopsy of Epstein either.

I think this derail of a derail has run its course.
