I have a Gab account. I barely use it, but I guess my data could be compromised. Will The Intercept investigate me, discover a small messageboard named in honor of a known monarchist and come after me and the rest of you? Be aware, be very aware...

Guess they're just as scared of becoming irrelevant now that Trump is out of office as several other mainstream outlets. Lefty news media has been hemmoraging viewers/readers over the past 3 months, so maybe that's either already happening to The Intercept too or they're just grasping at straws to ensure that it doesn't. Whatever the case, this smacks of trying to continue to milk Trump and his loony diehard followers for clicks/attention, to the point that they'll smear anyone even remotely associated with something with Trump's stench on it. It also seems a bit illegal, given that it's stolen data, but I'm not sure (not a lawyer). Regardless, it seems motivated by a sick, extreme form of "guilt by 6-degrees-of-separation." If you used the same product, service, or public bathroom stall as someone who knows someone who knows someone else who once smiled in the general direction of a Trump supporter, then you're obviously treasonous, racist, Qanon garbage who should be publicly shamed on Twitter and have your life ruined by a mainstream media outlet, amirite?

More from Taibbi: taibbi.substack.com/p/reporters-once-challenged-the-spy-a32I can't see how one could say that summary is factually incorrect. So, what's up with that? MSNBC and CNN are now willing mouthpieces for the US intelligence community. Remember when the journalists at every mainstream outlet--apart from Fox--were taking the Bush Admin to task over and over again for claims made by the intelligence community to support the Admin? Now, you'd have to forcibly remove the talking heads on MSNBC and CNN form the CIA's ass, just to get an unfiltered opinion from them. That is--imo--a far worse criticism than could ever have been leveled at Fox News. Truly, the world has turned upside down...,
