The Intercept is now actively targeting two journalists of color. They have two white male reporters here putting a target on their backs for the crime of reporting on Antifa riots. This is genuinely disgusting and dangerous. Press freedom groups should condemn this. Watch:

This is what so much "journalism" is now. They believe that the real menaces are individuals who have politics or ideology different than their liberal orthodoxies. So these reporters are now like criminals to them because they report for right-wing sites, thus this targeting.

This is on top of what The Intercept has @micahflee doing: trolling through private personal data for Gab users to dox them, as @mtaibbi reported. Do you see who their targets are? Private citizens with the wrong ideology. That's FBI work, not journalism.

Journalists have been repeatedly assaulted while covering Antifa protests. Antifa threatens journalists, breaks their cameras, and attacks them violently. The Intercept knows this. They're showing Antifa which 2 journalists they should look out for. That's what this is for.

The @FreedomofPress group I co-founded with @DanielEllsberg, Laura Poitras, @trevortimm and others, and on whose Board I still sit with @Snowden, tracks every incident of violence against journalists. It's from & at left and right. You can see it here:

Here's an Antifa member explicitly saying they're going to watch for the two journalists highlighted by the Intercept. That's the whole point of that Intercept video: to incite violence against these journalists by encouraging Antifa to attack them.
