Ken Klippenstein: Why I'm Resigning From The Intercept
Why I'm Resigning From The Intercept
TLDR The Intercept is run by a bunch of suits who want to suppress critique of Israel or the billionaire class
And when I say journalism, I’m not talking about “democracy dying in darkness” or “holding power to account” or any of that sanctimonious bullshit. I’m talking about being a thorn in the side of our self-appointed betters.

I’m going after the journalistic priesthood, like Judith Miller’s editor for her bogus Iraq WMD stories, whose punishment was being made editor-in-chief of ProPublica (salary: $480,000) and chair of the Pulitzer Prize Board.
Apparently this is referring to Stephen Engelberg. Google shows mostly glowing profiles of him, and some samples of his work, including his byline on a NYT article from '89 entitled IRAQ SAID TO STUDY BIOLOGICAL ARMS
Him and Greenwald being all buddy about this is raising some red flags. But good for him otherwise
Was it Lee Fang that also wrote for the intercept and said so many rotten things during the BLM protest?
I always liked Ken, with a side eye, but hated he wrote for the intercept. Good change.
sounds like Lee Fang. here he is doing a guest spot on the theme of "Why doesn't Black Lives Matter care about black on black crime?" with Meghan Murphy whoever the fuck that is
:picard: just shameful crap that's so liberal idealist it becomes blatantly racist
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
TLDR The Intercept is run by a bunch of suits who want to suppress anything critical of Israel or the billionaire class
Disinformation. Article doesn't say anything about suppressing criticism of Israel.
Factcheck: Iran is not in Israel. 5 pinnochios.
Anyways I have removed the adminittedly broad "anything" word from my post.
Iran is not in Israel.
not with that attitude
Ugh and now hes gonna start a shitty substack as well right?
Sounds like a terminal case of administratium.
Ben Norton has talked about this in the past I think. Journalists either suck up to the machine and obey so they get promoted, or they keep their integrity and struggle to find work.
