Feb 11, 2014: The Peoples Way: Scahill and Greenwald Inadvertently Reveal Snowden Leaks Have Killed Innocent People and Aided Terrorists
On his MSNBC show last night, Chris Hayes committed journalistic fraud. In a segment titled "Drones, metadata, and "Dirty Wars," Hayes interviewed Jeremy Scahill, the author of an article in a new online magazine called "The Intercept" that purported to outline NSA's use of cell phone metadata to perform targeted drone strikes. While the source of Scahill's article remains anonymous, in the segment, Hayes and Scahill used propaganda tactics that would make Roger Ailes blush.

Feb 10, 2014: Tim McCarthy (The Guardian) announces that "Glenn Greenwald's new website launches with fresh NSA revelations." He says "A new website featuring journalist Glenn Greenwald and funded by the billionaire founder of eBay was unveiled early Monday, with two stories about US government surveillance." The Intercept is part of a suite of planned sites to be published by First Look media, founded by eBay chairman Pierre Omidyar. Its editors are Greenwald and fellow journalists Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill. The site reported Monday that the National Security Agency has used cell phone geolocation to help pinpoint targets for US drone strikes overseas, and published previously unseen photographs of major US intelligence facilities." The Intercept will focus on reporting based on documents released by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the site’s editors said in an introductory statement. “Our focus in this very initial stage will be overwhelmingly on the NSA story,” the statement said.
