I knew as soon as I saw the title and that it was published in Rolling Stone that it was written by Matt Taibbi. He has a flair for the dramatic especially with anti-corporate perspective.
However I think you need to take what he has to say with a grain of salt. I'm one of those liberals that won't take their own side in an argument. I like his writing and agree with its sentiment but I do think his writing is more editorial, rather than adhering to the ethics of journalism. It is in the same vein as Michael Moore. He has a perspective, and his content is more about validating his opinion as opposed to doing true investigative journalism.
