Like Juan de Fuca, they have an agenda to push.You're using The Intercept, one of the goofiest left-wing sites, to keep things factual. That's just fucking weird!
A former journalist for them wasn't impressed with their journalistic ethics.
Where Journalism Goes to Die
....I assumed Omidyar must be a decent guy if he was going to pour $250 million into a new journalism venture, as he promised. Given that the organization had been founded in the wake of the NSA surveillance scandal that Snowden had launched, it was clear from the start that First Look Media would be a muckracking, confrontational publication with a libertarian streak—distrustful of government power and moneyed interests. To start it, Omidyar promised $50 million to get it off the ground. With resources like that, it had tremendous promise.
Plus, I figured, it couldn’t be worse than my last job.
How wrong I was—on both counts.....
I'm not impressed with people disillusioned over their jobs. You could likely write that line for every news job in America.
