The Intercept Promised to Reveal Everything. Then Its Own Scandal Hit.

[FelineOverlord]

This is about how Reality Winner ended up in prison. I think she got coronavirus, too. No compassionate release for her like for Manafort.

I have already read that she is NEVER allowed to talk about her case. Not now. Not ever.

She trusted Glenn Greenwald, of all people.

5. Chris Hayes is part of The Intercept.

He owns this shit just as Greenwald and Ryan Grim.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. That explains a lot.

Between the Reid Out and Maddow, it's like a black hole. I lose my interest and find something else to do.

[George II]

23. I can't believe he's had that 8PM slot for years. He should come on after Brian Williams - MIDNIGHT!

[MagickMuffin]

17. Can you provide proof that Chris Hayes is part of the intercept?

I tried searching but came up empty handed.

Thx

21. In what way is Chris Hayes part of The Intercept? (nt)

[radical noodle]

24. Is that perhaps a mistaken identity?

Chris Hedges rather than Chris Hayes?

[moonscape]

33. I like Chris Hayes a lot - watch him almost every night. n/t

[BComplex]

34. Me too, Moonscape. Chris Hayes is an awesome news hound.

We always watch him.

[Viz]

35. thank you- yes Chris Hayes is some awesome

We must correct misinformation wherever we see it. Come on folks please make sure you
have the names right before you slur someone.

[ehrnst]

27. Yep. (nt)

[muriel_volestrangler]

37. Same question for you - in what way is Chris Hayes part of The Intercept? (nt)

[ehrnst]

39. The Yep was to Chris Hayes owning the mindset being pushed

by the Intercept against Democrats, especially female candidates in 2016.

6. Greenwald is a tool for TrumPutin. Fascist propagandist posing as a journalist.

[Cirque du So-What]

7. How about a pardon, President Biden?

Can’t think of a better use for that particular power.

[KS Toronado]

14. I agree, hope Joe does it his first day in office.

[MineralMan]

8. Glenn Greenwald. Feh!

The Intercept should never be trusted as a source. It never should have been. Greenwald is not a progressive voice in any way.

[GeorgeGist]

9. There were gay Nazis ...

All cowards. Like Greenwald.

[Sympthsical]

26. What does his being gay have anything to do with this story?

Odd comment.

[cayugafalls]

36. You might want to rethink your wording here.

I do not see where "gay" has any bearing on your slur.

[spanone]

11. jailing political prisoners....gee, where have i heard about this before?

[KS Toronado]

15. Fascism has been taking over the repug party for some time.

[ronatchig]

29. Yeah, like 40 yrs ago.

Or more. Since Ronnie Ray Gun stole the presidency by colluding with the mullahs in Iran, the fascists have been out in the open. They were sort of in stealth.mode up until then. I guess they were busy securing the money business and industry. Think supply side economic voodoo.

[George II]

12. Glen Greenwald likes to tell us what we should or shouldn't do, but he does it from Brazil.

[mn9driver]

13. If you have whistleblower material, sending it to The Intercept is a bad choice.

The article makes it clear that they have learned nothing. And worse, they don’t care.

[IronLionZion]

16. I would hope any future whistleblowers would steer clear of the Intercept

Established mainstream news like WaPo, NYTimes, etc. should have strong processes for protecting their sources.

Government contracting firms don't want to sponsor brown Americans like me for security clearances but they will always sponsor white people like Reality Winner and Edward Snowden without hesitation. Race based security fails again.

[Escurumbele]

18. Isn't Greenwald gay? Doesn't he know the people he is supporting are going to get him

eventually?

White Supremacists do not like gays, not sure what universe Greenwald lives in, he will be a target of these awful people, he is definitely on the wrong side.

[Jetheels]

19. I barely read the Intercept anymore, now I see why, how terrible for Reality Winner,

but there’s a good podcast interview with Soledad O’Brien and Mehdi Hasan explaining reporters off screen relationship with frump.

[bronxiteforever]

20. Kick and recommend.

[betsuni]

22. K&R

[Mersky]

28. Is a good WITH pod episode about Reality Winner

I’ll likely listen to it again - her plight with coronavirus seems the most relevant point about this whole mess. She shouldn’t be in prison, and in a better world, the likes of glenn greenwald do not yuck it up with tucker carlson.

[Historic NY]

30. GG a loathsome person.

[mountain grammy]

31. K & R

Fuck Glen Greenwald.

38. Between their mishandling of the Tara Reid story

and their lesser regard for this source, the Intercept’s misogyny is readily apparent.
