I'm sorry, but I don't think Ryan Grim is a writer worthy of anything except contempt most of the time. I don't know Scahill well enough to say. OTOH, The Intercept still does sometimes commit journalism, so you're right about that bathwater having some usefulness.

Commit journalism lol! That was good. It's true, you just need to, like everything try and have a critical view point, nothing is gospel & keep your eyes and ears trained that way. Fuck Al Jazeera is about the only MSM telling the Gaza story right.

Agreed and the bath water is lukewarm and caters to a very middle of the road, uncritical audience. People who don’t know that CNN and Wapo are biased trash I suppose need someone to tell them, because they have no critical thinking capacity, but that’s the only good the Intercept does.
