Say what? Neither of us said anything like that. Ridiculous idiots. Here’s what’s happened: We discussed the fact that YouTube had previously demonetized his videos about the media’s — including YouTube’s — double standard on criticism of the 2016 election vs the 2020 one. Taibbi wrote about it here, here, here and here, where they admit they were wrong and are sorry. Now they are claiming us discussing that is enough to get my entire interview of him removed.
