Matthew Colin Taibbi[3] (/taɪˈiːbi/; born March 2, 1970) is an American author, journalist and podcaster. A former contributing editor for Rolling Stone, he is the author of several books and publisher of Racket News (formerly TK News). He has reported on finance, media, politics and sports.
Taibbi began as a freelance reporter working in Russia and the former USSR. He later worked as a sports journalist for the English-language newspaper The Moscow Times. In 1997, Taibbi and Mark Ames co-edited the tabloid newspaper The eXile. In 2002, Taibbi returned to the United States and founded the Buffalo-based newspaper The Beast. He left a year later to work as a columnist for the New York Press.[4][5]
In 2004, Taibbi began covering politics for Rolling Stone.[5] In 2008, Taibbi won a National Magazine Award for three columns he wrote for Rolling Stone.[6] Taibbi became known for his brazen style, having branded Goldman Sachs a "vampire squid" in a 2009 article about the Wall Street firm's outsized role in the 2008 financial crisis.[7][8] His work often has drawn comparisons to the gonzo journalism of writer Hunter S. Thompson, who also covered politics for Rolling Stone.[1][9][10][11][12] In 2019, he launched the podcast Useful Idiots, co-hosted by Katie Halper, before leaving in 2022, where he was succeeded by Aaron Maté. In 2020, he announced that he would no longer release his writing through Rolling Stone and had begun self-publishing his online writing.[13] In recent years, Taibbi's writing has focused on culture war issues and cancel culture. He has criticized mainstream media including its coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[14] Between 2022 and 2023, Taibbi released several installments of the Twitter Files.
Taibbi has authored several books, including The Great Derangement (2009); Griftopia (2010); The Divide (2014);[15] Insane Clown President (2017); I Can't Breathe (2017); and Hate Inc. (2019).
