Indeed this Micah fellow appears highly biased - a trait which doesn't usually make for a fair and objective reporter.
This is indeed disappointing for an outlet such as The Intercept. I have noticed, though, in the past several months (if not more than a year) that the types of articles that get put into The Intercept are of less significance than prior to that period; back then they seemed to focus more on issues related to corruption and abuses of anything about Establishment"types, regardless of the country. I think they've lost touch with their original mission and direction. Sad. Sad indeed. Glenn, WTF is going on?
Perhaps this billionaire investor/backer of The Intercept, as you mentioned, has a hand in this. It is very hard to say, but would certainly not be surprising at all.
Thank you for your article!
