the golden age of matt taibbi

michael moore is not the only good-guy type leftish media denizen to flourish in the glow of the occupy movement.  matt taibbi is another commentator who is doing great work on the subject.  what i've seen with both taibbi and moore, along with a few others, especially keith olbermann on tee vee, is that they are not strictly reporting or condescendingly hectoring but are instead both analyzing the movement and learning from it, broadening their perspective on politics and culture while they work.  this is a good thing--a great thing really--and cannot be dismissed; it is an important development for not only the occupy movement but the american left as a whole.
