Just did a search of @TheIntercept: this self-described "fearless, adversarial journalism" outlet, whose "founding principles" include "that whistleblowing is vital to holding powerful institutions accountable" has yet to acknowledge the OPCW Syria whistleblowers' existence. 
Even NYT has acknowledged the OPCW scandal, albeit in a laughable & disingenuous way. NYT buried it in a fawning profile of Western troll farm Bellingcat, & shrunk the trove of OPCW leaks -- including the original, censored report -- into a mere "email from an investigator." 😂
Douma story is not one that @TheIntercept has ignored. Since alleged Douma attack of April 2018, TI ran at least 10 stories about or mentioning it -- most favorable to Trump admin narrative. Zero stories on the whistleblowers since their suppressed findings emerged in May 2019.
OPCW whistleblowers are among world's most important. OPCW leaks exposed that Trump bombed Syria on false grounds & that OPCW covered it up under US pressure.
A huge scandal -- which means outlets, especially the "adversarial," that ignore it are part of a media scandal too.

Not only does @TheIntercept have a responsibility to cover OPCW scandal on its merits, & because it's repeatedly advanced the false Trump admin line, but also because it's funded Western gov't troll farm @Bellingcat, which played a key role in the Douma deception & cover-up:
