TLDR The Intercept is run by a bunch of suits who want to suppress critique of Israel or the billionaire class

    While the Intercept now has one poor copy editor for the entire website, it employs two staff attorneys, as well as a legal fellow, a chief strategy officer, a chief digital officer, a business coordinator, a senior director of development and an associate director of development, a product manager, a senior director of operations, a chief of staff, and a chief operating officer. And for the first time in The Intercept’s history, as of Monday, the new editor-in-chief now answers to the CEO.

    Sounds like a terminal case of administratium.

      Part of me thinks any normal-ish decent-ish journalist who gets into media is exposed to “the machine” they either get ground down by it or they brake parts of themselves to fit into it. It’s a bummer
