adding his opinion about the book, but he isn't the author.

Taibbi hates Hillary, so it is no surprise that he would jump on anything to get an opportunity to slam her.

He is very defensive about Putin, and argues and goes out of his way to say there is no proof that Russia interfered in our election, saying because we were "lied to about the WMDs", as though somehow that proves his assertion, which it doesn't, and then claims those who have been saying so are behaving like "Joe McCarthy". Under baseless claim.

Both Taibbi and Greewald are over-rated, and there personal bias makes them not objective at all
