While the Intercept now has one poor copy editor for the entire website, it employs two staff attorneys, as well as a legal fellow, a chief strategy officer, a chief digital officer, a business coordinator, a senior director of development and an associate director of development, a product manager, a senior director of operations, a chief of staff, and a chief operating officer. And for the first time in The Intercept’s history, as of Monday, the new editor-in-chief now answers to the CEO.

Sounds like a terminal case of administratium.

Part of me thinks any normal-ish decent-ish journalist who gets into media is exposed to “the machine” they either get ground down by it or they brake parts of themselves to fit into it. It’s a bummer

You almost forget who's on there just because its so many fucking people.

The fact that there genuinely is an elite pedophile cabal and Q somehow manages to target only 1 of the people involved and that one accidentally is so frustrating.

Yes! That is the most frustrating thing about Q "pedophile cabal conspiracies." They make up all this crazy bullshit, instead of what we actually know that's right in the open and that no one has investigated any further since Epstein got Epsteined
