Before you attack Matt Taibibi, just know that he is a liberal and a well respected journalist
What has been done here can and WILL be done the other way
Meaning, when conservatives gain control again, and they WILL gain control again as its only a matter of how much time passes, they can use this tactic against the Democrats.
So, both sides should be condemning this
But I predict that Matt Taibibi will get attacked and his personal character be called into question by the Democrats because this tactic of suppressing news stories has benefited them in the past. But cannot look into the future where the very same tactic will be recycled by the other side and used again, only the other way around.
