Oh yeah, I remembered who another guy I was thinking about... Matt Taibbi, whose book with Mark Ames from years ago portrayed them as misogynists who routinely sexually harassed the women who worked for them and portrayed Ames as pressuring a woman into an abortion by suggesting the possibility of murder. Lovely. This was known, of course, since it's from an old book.
But today Taibbi posted on Facebook that it was, of course, satire, despite the book being presented as non-fiction. So I guess it was just funny to him back then.
But I guess we'll see whether any of the American women mentioned in the book will come forward to corroborate his current version of events or the book version. I doubt any Russian women would, unless they are now living in America or possibly another Anglophone country (because they might not be aware otherwise).
Twenty years ago, in Moscow, Matt Taibbi was a misogynist asshole - and possibly worse | Bleader
