It's a sad commentary on the state of journalism today that I am so thrilled by the facts that Mr. Taibbi (1) has talked to multiple parties on the ground in VA to try to understand what is going on (2) is wary of publishing an over-simplified story and - 24 hour news cycle be damned! - tells his readership that a more fulsome account is forthcoming, after he's had more time to marshal his information, and (3) needs to return to VA to confirm various details. God bless investigative journalists, the kind that care about getting facts straight as opposed to advancing a simplistic narrative, and thank you Matt Taibbi!

"Vote for us, you racists!" Somehow it didn't work.
