      Higgins should correct this and apologize. He's so dishonest, so frequently. And he works for an organization with "Fairness and Accuracy" in its name!pic.twitter.com/VRfqW7o0pg

      Should Taibbi apologize for using "they" when he meant "we"?

      Why would he do that when he’s drawing a distinction between himself and the rest of the media class?

      But that's a false distinction in this case since he's an example of what he's criticizing the media class for.

          I don't believe Matt was arguing that upper class kids are incapable of empathy. Some might interpret that he's suggesting he demonstrates it himself, while his media peers elect not to! But sure, go off Jeet.

          why doesn't he say "people in my class" ? matt is quick to jump down the throats of the media class but all of his political concerns are ones only a media class consumer cares about

          He’s criticising the media class for a lack of curiosity and empathy for the lives of red state folks, in his view due to their backgrounds. Despite a similar background he hasn’t fallen into the same trap.

          “The media only refers to institutions I attack for content on my various media platforms” is a fundamental tenet of whatever passes for conservatism these days. Just ask all the Bari Weisses, Tucker Carlsons, and Dan Bonginos of the world. Somehow they ARENT media.

          Maybe he should do that to avoid that type of clip art smear. Otherwise, mentioning it right before making that statement suffices. At least on Earth, not sure about here in the twittersphere, where our enemies are all dishonest grifters.

          If you had Matt's history after graduating college I think most people wouldn't consider you a joke. It doesn't matter where you come from it matters what you then DO.

          FDR was born of privilege and he saved a nation. What have you ever done?
