To Suit Its Ideological Agenda, The Intercept Fabricated A Censorship Story That Even The Censorship "Victims" Denounce As False mtracey.substack.com/p/to-suit-its-…
The Intercept dramatically declared that two student journalists at Bates College had been "censored," but they didn't even bother to contact the journalists to ask them if they had been censored -- which the students both vehemently deny. Really bizarre journalistic misconduct 
I likely never would have even noticed this relatively insignificant story if Intercept writer @nathanTbernard hadn't badgered me to cover it, lest I be totally owned for hypocrisy. So I covered it, and of course it turns out to be largely BS. (Bernard has stopped replying to me)
It's truly incredible that @ryangrim and @nathanTbernard could possibly justify running an article in which they impugned two student reporters as censorship victims, without even bothering to talk to them, when they both adamantly deny they were censored!

After going silent @nathanTbernard of The Intercept is currently defending his defamation of two student reporters who he never bothered to contact. This viral tweet is factually false, the students (temporarily) took down their article, not administrators

Hopefully @nathanTbernard will delete, retract, and apologize for this factually false viral tweet, otherwise he and The Intercept are knowingly contributing to the proliferation of misinformation online. Right?
The Intercept claims that the student journalists were pressured into "censoring" Bates College workers, but the student journalist impugned by The Intercept said she did the exact opposite. More flagrant defamation of a student journalist they never even bothered to contact
