Yeah, a more appropriate title might have been "Intercept Contributors have some serious brainworms" or something, but I can't take it back now.
Better for people to know about bad takes and consider that in the same thought as the intercept's reporting record, since that will likely lead people to be more instinctively cautious, than if they didn't know/think about the bad takes.
Oh for sure, it's absolutely a strong knee jerk reaction given that political activity in the US can easily begin and end with "being informed", so what news (rather than how the news is approached) becomes a part of one's identity.

Eh, fair enough. I've definitely seen the kind of sentiment I'm talking about elsewhere though.
