David Talbot was a founder and CEO of Salon.com. Even if the website is usually CT-sneering, they covered the book "The Devil's Chessboard" of their former boss:

An interview with him: "Every president has been manipulated by national security officials"

An excerpt from the book (on JFK assassination)

Also a few casual mentions in other articles, like

Read Stephen Kinzer's book "The Brothers," or my former boss David Talbot's forthcoming "The Devil's Chessboard," and you learn how CIA head Allen Dulles seduced many of the so-called great men of postwar American journalism, including Arthur Ochs Sulzberger of the New York Times, Ben Bradlee of the Washington Post and almost every major political columnist, into becoming shills for hysterical anti-Communism and belligerent Cold War foreign policy. Judith Miller, the Times reporter and Bush administration stooge who did so much to drag us into the Iraq quagmire, is not nearly as much of an outlier as she seems. Miller was just an extreme example of the snuggly relationship with power, and the subtle but pervasive channeling of public discourse through well-worn grooves of accepted dogma, that has characterized mainstream journalism for decades.
