MATT TAIBBI: Tireless Busybodies Again Target Substack: Substack faces another deplatforming campaign, triggered by a clarion-call from America’s flagship of suck, Atlantic Magazine. “As an aside: a big reason people read Substack is because of the terribleness of magazines like The Atlantic, which is edited by a guy, Jeffrey Goldberg, who won a pile of awards for blowing the WMD story in spectacular fashion for years on end, making him a walking, talking symbol of the failing-upward dynamic in corporate media. If that magazine wants people to read Substack less, it might consider not filling its pages with exposés about the Alfa Server fantasies or plaintive defenses of the Steele dossier or other transparent propaganda, instead of demanding deplatforming here.”

Hey, it’s a competitor. Substack offers access to the kind of writing and reporting that The Atlantic used to be known for, before it went woke.
