> I believe them more than I believe MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, etc.

Why?

Is there some objective reason you believe them more, or is it just that they tell you the things that feel right to you?

Speaking purely for myself, I find Greenwald and Taibbi to be every bit as slanted and shrill as any other source of media, they're just slanted in a different direction.

Should they be included as part of an overall media diet that, on balance, gives you a more rounded view of current events?

Perhaps.

Should they be believed to the exclusion of other media sources? If you're asking me, absolutely not. That's no better than subsisting on a diet solely of Fox or the Times.

Just my opinion, but what Greenwald and Taibbi say is much more aligned with news from other countries. I occasionally choose one story that interests me, and try to read coverage of the same story from news sources from around the world.
