    Also they lure whistleblowers to them and then get them imprisoned. They are so far responsible for the imprisonment of 3 whistleblowers, and they don’t even publish the information that the whistleblower exposed.

    wait, really?

        I don't know if you trust Greenwald personally or not, but among other places where he spoke about this, he went on democracy now to say that these folks got caught because they messed up themselves when leaking documents.

        There are definitely intercept type outlets that are ops in the way you describe (bellingcat comes to mind as just being a front for MI5), but the government is good at catching people unless they're prepped first and Reality Winner wasn't prepped, she just printed out documents attached to her job ID and mailed them. Greenwald lost a ton of credibility because of this one, but idk if he really deserves it and there's no chance he gains it back while still working at the intercept.
