But if by 'the market' you mean sub-prime as a whole, (if you had read the article, or any of several others), it is certainly fair to point out that the WORST of the sub-prime was private label. That's not a reply to the point that Fannie and Freddie created the market. (Not just in 30 year mortgages, but to a large degree in less than prime mortgages) And again - Fannie and Freddie were hardly the only ways government action contributed to the bubble.
