What's the verdict on the Intercept/Jeremy Scahill?

[Shogun]

Genuine question...

I'm half way through Scahill's Dirty Wars and am liking it. Realized he has a podcast and listened to the most recent one on Venezuela, and learned a bunch of shyt. Have never heard much about them/him before, though.

What's their reputation?

You're gonna get different answers.

I think he does good work at the intercept. his past stuff on Erik Prince's blackwater is good.

This was probably my favorite piece from the intercept this year about how mercernaries were brought in to stop the protests at the Dakota access pipeline.

A SHADOWY INTERNATIONAL mercenary and security firm known as TigerSwan targeted the movement opposed to the Dakota Access Pipeline with military-style counterterrorism measures, collaborating closely with police in at least five states, according to internal documents obtained by The Intercept. The documents provide the first detailed picture of how TigerSwan, which originated as a U.S. military and State Department contractor helping to execute the global war on terror, worked at the behest of its client Energy Transfer Partners, the company building the Dakota Access Pipeline, to respond to the indigenous-led movement that sought to stop the project.
