I recall listening to the episode of the podcast where they were discussing the pending twitter takeover. I felt very mislead about the situation when these emails came out and showed they may have been involved parties.

Now I have a lot more appreciation for traditional journalistic institutions each time they disclose that they are reporting on a sponsor or otherwise affiliated institution.

For as much as the All-In crowd love to rag against the MSM - they seem far less interested in disclosing their financial interest in the stories they cover.
