And so you think Taibbi, whoever he is, apologizing means anything? Did you believe the football guy who said he didn't realize complimenting Hitler would be offensive? Those apologies are nonsense.

Some apologies are heartfelt and some are nonsense, and sometimes it's hard to tell which are which. Since Taibbi hasn't apologized, not even to the person who he mistreated so egregiously, Politico really shouldn't be asking him to opine on "cancel culture" as if his history is irrelevant.
