Interesting, I believe Matt wrote about kayfabe in Hate Inc. when describing disingenuous politicians pretending to hate the other team, but actually playing well together behind closed doors. And not playing well together for the people that voted for them, playing well for the betterment of the donors.

And you've missed the fact that Matt has followed that same model? Go read what Rolling Stone was publishing while he was there. Some of the most legendary liberal gobbledygook ever. Campus rapes, Climate Change, yada, yada, yada. Now he's Mr Twitter files and can't believe what those crazy liberals are saying. Because he stopped saying it a full 5 minutes ago. Recently he's said things that I tend to agree with more, but it's still mostly safe stuff and it doesn't offset the past. Matt was a football player who took Journalism. In my experience this is a common story that is always about staying academically eligible. None of this points towards someone I should want defining my world view. The moral of this whole story is stick to the info and don't make gurus out of the messengers.
