Funny coming from the intercept, given that recently two founding members have left due to their mistakes in protecting sources.

This is plainly false.

Neither of them worked directly on the Reality Winner story, especially including handling the leaked material.

"they" = The Intercept

My statement was pretty bad, since it is very simplified and can be misunderstood (since the "they" is ambiguous). I posted the relevant links below, these explain the whole story way better.

Oops, sorry. I didn't even notice that it can be read that way too.

It's also plainly true depending who "they" are in "their mistakes".

At the NYT mistakes like that get brushed under the carpet. Their personal professional integrity is why you can trust The Intercept.

The fired people disagree

> First Look Media’s decision to fire me after I raised concerns about source protection and accountability – rather than to demote or seek the resignation of anyone responsible for the journalistic malpractice, cover-up, and retaliation – speaks to the priorities of The Intercept’s Editor-in-Chief Betsy Reed and First Look Media’s CEO Michael Bloom.

If you dont know the story it sounds like they have left the boat because of their own mistakes. Two founding members have left because of the paper's direction failing to protect sources out of carelessness
