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.
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.
At the NYT mistakes like that get brushed under the carpet. Their personal professional integrity is why you can trust The Intercept.
Not so sure about that.

Including Reality Winner, that makes 3 in total.
> 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.
