Did the Intercept bungle the NSA leak?

WaPo is a CIA mouthpiece. So it's to be expected if they portray "The Intercept" as an unsafe place to leak to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofB1b3RMdhA&list=PLTpcK80ird...

This sort of conspiracy mongering is below the HN standard of discourse.

Amazon doesn't own WaPo, Jeff Bezos does. A $600 million 10 year contract for a private cloud is a tiny fraction of AWS revenue (some $15 billion per year), let alone overall Amazon revenue. It is in no way a sweetheart deal that would require Bezos bend over backwards, let alone undermine the integrity of the news organization for which he paid $250 million out of his own pocket.

Oh really? Am I being singled out? Or are you ready to call conspiracy mongers to everybody in this thread who "cast doubt" over WaPo allegiances?
