I hope Naomi Klein hasn't been infected with their brainworms

      Sorry comrade, I agree it makes using this site impossible sometimes

      fwiw, the most reasonable take for users here to get from our discussions is probably somewhere in between our takes: heed their reporting, but be wary of their editorials and contributors' opinions

        I was saying in the original response that the difference is that NYT or WaPo's purpose is to protect the power of capital and launder Imperial crimes, while The Intercept has been a thorn in the side of Capital power. The takes of either one's individual contributors are sort of irrelevant

          Yeah, idk, while that's true for nyt/wapo, it's blindness to ignore the takes of their contributors. In the end, you can read them if you like, but the biases of the people who work there should still be taken into account.
