I doubt anyone care, but I'm the resident Matt Taibbi observer, so AMA.

tldr; Walter Kirn is a big lolbertarian anti-Covid lockdown and suck-up of Jay Bhattacharya, the current director of NIH and anti-lockdown "doctor" (he's an economist and does not practice medicine). Matt Taibbi's substack "Racket News" hired a Emily Kopp - a reporter that's too crazy for even the current MAHA movement. She's digging into the ongoing gain-on-function research at NIH even under the current administration. Being a MAGA suck-up Walter disagree with Matt Taibbi's substack challenging the current administration and their grift podcast is no more.
