Red vs Blue States | Matt Taibbi

Journalist Matt Taibbi argues that the media is driving political animosity in the United States. He reflects that, though Americans tend to be generally decent to one another outside of the political realm, national political tensions have never been higher. What has happened to give rise to today's polarised political climate, and what solutions can we find?

Formerly a professional athlete and private investigator, Matt Taibbi has a formidable journalistic record. He has worked as a freelance reporter in the Soviet Union, a sports reporter for The Moscow Times, and, more recently, as a contributing editor for Rolling Stone Magazine. He has risen to particular fame through his role in The Twitter Files, an investigation into links between government agencies and censorship on Twitter.
