If anything I'd say their site is getting the life sucked out of it by MSM rejects like Robert Mackey. The quality of TI stories has plummeted in the past year, it look more like the MSNBC editorial page every day.
They start with a winning hand. People are opposed to a tiny elite hoarding the world's wealth, sabotaging energy independence and using the EPA as a recreational slush fund. We recognize Trump and Pence as agents of corporate pillage. It is when you racialize every issue and point an accusing finger of shame at straight white men that you start to lose parts of your audience. When the first words you are required to speak before addressing a crowd are, "How can I use my unearned privilege to benefit the oppressed?", it turns people off. As the mandatory self-flagellation get's more detailed, requiring more precious time to enunciate, the number of people whose interest you can hold decreases.
+Antonio R _"why is that btw? How are they doing this ?"_ I certainly don't know but I will guess for fun. When they started TI they really struggled to put out content, IIRC weeks could go by without a new story. Maybe they wanted to ramp up their output while having a diverse spectrum of viewpoints, so they hired a lot of people fast before they had competent editors? The reason I like TI is because of Glenn and I want to see more like him - people who put their liberal ideals above the corporate party line. I would love to see TI put a moratorium on identity politics, race-baiting and red-baiting because the last year they've just been a low budget version of the MSM. Having said that, scrolling through the most recent stories on TI right now it doesn't look bad, and there are some authors I've never seen before so maybe some reading is in order this weekend.
Thank you for mentioning this! My thoughts exactly ! We are ALL under constant surveillance! It just takes a suspicion for someone to be tagged as a person of interest.
It's the language that trips them up. When I read the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, or the Declaration of Independence, it's clear that government was never to have such sweeping legislative powers. It's clear, that our laws truly were designed to protect individual rights, liberties, and free trade. Today, you can't quote the constitution without getting shut down, ridiculed, or lambasted. Silenced. We've lost the very heart and soul of our most precious possession: the right to govern our own affairs, without hindrance by foreign influence.
Geez...Jeremny, who's gonna enforce the racial caste system that is America? And don't forget, the military/industrial/prison/surveillance industry helps to fund our pension accounts too. Lots of people have a financial interest in keeping it in place.
I am really sorry if I've left you open I have only recently just realised I'm lost with Twitter Facebook and UA-cam I'm very very sorry and I accept full responsibility
Ideologically bigoted hand-wringing. Unsubscribed. (Sadly you will probably be glad I did, which is your problem in the first place - unwillingness to be open-minded about opposing views.) Thumbs down to Skahill - a "proven lie factory".

Scahill 2020

Scahill is a breath of fresh air....real journalism.
A voice of sanity...thank you...
Your site is getting the life choked out of it by Google.

Cartoonishly Inept why is that btw? How are they doing this ? Because I agree that it's starting to look like poor reporting pretty often now

Fantastic, keep up the great work. The Intercept should collaborate with The Jimmy Dore Show... that would be an extremely effective alliance.
Thank you, Jeremy. It's time our brethren dropped the hypocrisy.
Thank you... listening to Jeremy reassured me I’m not crazy!!
Love this guy!
Brilliant analysis.
You know what it is!
God I love listening to someone with a functioning brain who uses his reasoning faculties and speaks the truth! Thanks Jeremy.
Excellent !
Worth noting the silence of the mass media on this subject...

This needs more viewsssss

They were talking about going to war with outer space isn't that just something it doesn't reach my comedy book
The crazy train! Ha! Fox News... Crazy Train indeed.
I don't know mr. Scahill, I think we should bring in mr. Clapper for a more balanced view 🧐 🤣
Someone give Brennan a bannana, he just climbed out of a tree and is hungry
Jeremy, if it wasn't for Trump this wouldn't have been brought up.
I did the spying because I thought things where going horribly wrong for your country America and my country britain UK
I am really sorry if I've left you open I have only recently just realised I'm lost with Twitter Facebook and UA-cam I'm very very sorry and I accept full responsibility
Lost me at the rich white men comment. Other than that spot on.
Also Justin Amash is about as far right as you can get.
Satimy ok lol
