I like that people think that every major newsroom in the country can be involved in a politically motivated conspiracy to shape the narrative, but don't even bother to consider the possibility that a couple of overt Left-wing anti-Democratic-establishment political activists selling unverifiable stories. that exactly fits the ideology of their long-time overt activism might just be doing the same thing.

Sure, the universal mass-media conspiracy the Greenwald-Taibbi axis is pushing is more “shocking, if true” than the idea that they are doing the same kind of narrative-shaping that they are trying to point fingers elsewhere about. But it's not more likely to be true.
