Matt Taibbi is one of the reasons I gave up on Rolling Stone, which I subscribed to for years as a youngster. Even when I agree with his sentiment, I feel slimy reading his words. They always strike me as less than the whole story, and purposefully so. I get that we can never get the whole truth, that editorial objectives color everything we read, and that everyone has an agenda, but he just seems like a liar to me. NYT covered this particular piece, and while they praised some of his expose, they also noted a bunch of errors, liberties with the truth, and straight up calculated misleading statements.
