Ken Klippenstein: Why I'm Resigning From The Intercept

While the Intercept now has one poor copy editor for the entire website, it employs two staff attorneys, as well as a legal fellow, a chief strategy officer, a chief digital officer, a business coordinator, a senior director of development and an associate director of development, a product manager, a senior director of operations, a chief of staff, and a chief operating officer. And for the first time in The Intercept’s history, as of Monday, the new editor-in-chief now answers to the CEO.

Sounds like a terminal case of administratium.

And when I say journalism, I’m not talking about “democracy dying in darkness” or “holding power to account” or any of that sanctimonious bullshit. I’m talking about being a thorn in the side of our self-appointed betters.

Ken has some lib brain worms, but he is a well-meaning guy who has done some great reporting.

I’m going after the journalistic priesthood, like Judith Miller’s editor for her bogus Iraq WMD stories, whose punishment was being made editor-in-chief of ProPublica (salary: $480,000) and chair of the Pulitzer Prize Board.

Apparently this is referring to Stephen Engelberg. Google shows mostly glowing profiles of him, and some samples of his work, including his byline on a NYT article from '89 entitled IRAQ SAID TO STUDY BIOLOGICAL ARMS

Him and Greenwald being all buddy about this is raising some red flags. But good for him otherwise

Was it Lee Fang that also wrote for the intercept and said so many rotten things during the BLM protest?

I always liked Ken, with a side eye, but hated he wrote for the intercept. Good change.

TLDR The Intercept is run by a bunch of suits who want to suppress anything critical of Israel or the billionaire class

Disinformation. Article doesn't say anything about suppressing criticism of Israel.
