The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own articles.
The Intercept was a huge part of what radicalized me. Scahill's commentary on intercepted was so clear and concise in its criticism of liberalism and imperialism that I couldn't turn around and go back to pretending that Obama was good actually. He helped expand my worldview outside of domestic politics and his takes on Palestine and BDS have been excellent. I've had some friends who have asked me where to start to become more informed when it comes to politics and the first place I point them is the podcast.
As for the publication itself, I kinda see it as the best alternative to mainstream reporting that has credibility with the general public. They are the ones that published the Tara Reade story after all. They're flawed, but they're also an important part of the media landscape.
The intercept is basically Vice but sub the punk aesthetic for a hacker aesthetic
Intercept used to have much better politics. Vice was always a grift.
