The Intercept
was funded with some $50 million from
Omidyar. It
first hires
were Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill and Laura
Poitras - all involved in publishing the
Snowden papers and other leaks. Its first
piece was based on documents from the leaked
the NSA stack. It has since published on
this or that but not in a regular media
way. The Intercept pieces are
usually heavily editorialized and tend to
have a mainstream "liberal" to libertarian
slant. Some were highly partisan
anti-Syrian/pro-regime change propaganda.
The website
seems
to have no regular publishing schedule at
all. Between one and five piece per day get
pushed out, only few of them make public
waves. Some of its later prominent hires
(Ken Silverstein, Matt Taibbi) soon left and
alleged
that the place was run in a chaotic
atmosphere and with improper and highly
politicized editing. Despite its rich
backing and allegedly high pay for its main
journalists (Greenwald is said to receive
between 250k and 1 million per year) the
Intercept is
begging for
reader donations.
