Probably because the people that read the intercept already think poorly of trump, and the article had a word limit

You could also say the opposite about every Washington Post article released since the election.

I can't fathom why an article calling the fake news phenomenon an FUD campaign would fail to critizice Trump's side...

Seriously though, the article is comically bad. It oozes bile and anger and it's so comically and blatantly one-sided it's almost funny in a so-bad-that-it's-good way.
