The media is an important business, but I just don't have a lot of respect for The Intercept as a publication. The two biggest blows I can think of are the Tara Reade story and a smaller article on DHS leaks I read around a year ago. The Tara Reade story had so many rocky foundations, so much so that mainstream publications were hesitant on breaking it, but The Intercept decided to move ahead anyway because their angle is "leftist anti-Democratic establishment" and the story would hurt Biden. That story completely collapsed and Tara Reade is now a Russia Today Putin stooge. The other was a story commented on by Crooked Timber[1]. If you read the article itself[2], it's even written poorly and disjointed. Add that with a pretty horrendous quote-butcher that CT mentions and it's clearly just a hack piece. 1. https://crookedtimber.org/2023/06/08/disinformation-and-the-... 2. https://theintercept.com/2022/10/31/social-media-disinformat... |
