Wall Street's nemesis

I was first exposed to Matt Taibbi about three years ago on Real Time With Bill Maher. Taibbi is a very quick witted, clever, very bright and talented independent investigative journalist, who writes for a variety of publications, including Rolling Stone. He has been undercover as an evangelical Christian to explore the Christian Right, was a Real Time reporter for Bill Maher during the lead up to the 2008 presidential election, and recently wrote The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire. Taibbi has now earned the scorn of Wall Street and other greedy corporate bastards for his two massive expose articles this year: Wall Street's Naked Swindle, and The Big Takeover.
