I'm very interested in the index manipulation, but not at all in Rolling Stone's coverage, for the same reason as you - Matt Taibbi is not a reliable reporter, and if anything he poisons the well for other media coverage.
That is 100% your opinion. I have read more than a couple of his articles and they are very, very well put together. He is an excellent journalist and one of the few who is willing to cover all the corruption going on within our financial system.
You mean like the time he wrote a huge expose on Obama's sellout to Wall Street that confused two different James Rubins, claiming that one of them (we're now not sure which one) helped "pick Obama's economic team", and claimed TARP could cost twenty three trillion dollars?
