for people who haven't been paying attention, the majority of articles published by the intercept are garbage like the one linked above.
one would think greenwald being the founder and editor has some kind of responsibility for and control over the government propaganda he publishes.
notice that the majority of comments on the article are rational and hostile to that sort of content - yet the intercept doesn't give a fuck
notice also that the 'progressive' 'lefty' intercept is actually a mouthpice for the flagship of american fascist corporatism, apple inc. Perhaps hardly surprising if one takes into account that the intercept is owned by paypal inc.
It seems to me Greenwald & co. used the Snowden revelations for self-enrichment to a very large degree. I guess you can argue all day long about their intentions, but there is no doubt the Snowden shit has been a massive gravy train for the journalists involved…. Not to say I would have stories put back in the bottle, obviously :P
