+Smear by Washington Post's Kathy Lally against [[:Mark Ames]] and [[:Matt Taibbi]] hits w her best shot.. body shaming!!
+by Kathy Lally
+**Twenty years ago,** when I was a Moscow correspondent for the Baltimore Sun, two Americans named Matt Taibbi and Mark Ames ran an English-language tabloid in the Russian capital called the eXile.
+They portrayed themselves as swashbuckling parodists, unbound by the conventions of mainstream journalism, exposing Westerners who were cynically profiting from the chaos of post-Soviet Russia.
