The problem with The Intercept is that it was founded by Glenn Greenwald, who is constantly not only going on right-wing media, but often agreeing with their terrible points.
So I don't trust it a lot of the time.
I don't doubt what they are saying in this case, however.
I totally agree about Greenwald, but he was pushed out/resigned in 2020, he has nothing to do with them anymore. When he co-founded it, he was still a well-respected journalist. He isn’t anymore, but The Intercept still does exceptional journalism. I recommend taking another look.
he hasnt been involved for quite some time IIRC
Disagreeing with one of the founders which doesn't work there anymore means it's untrustworthy? If you believe The Intercept is a "right wing propaganda outlet" you'd better to cite examples of that than what you think of an ex-employee.
What has The Intercept done since then to regain my trust? Because I certainly haven't heard them disavow or criticize their founder.
Write factually accurate articles with amazing investigative reporting. Should they condemn ~~Hamas~~ Glenn Greenwald at the beginning of every article?
How about condemning him with any article? Just one.
Because right now, he seems to be an untouchable subject when it comes to criticism from them, unlike virtually everything else.
Which comment of Greenwald should they condemn exactly?
Now you want me to go through every questionable thing Greenwald has said every time he does things like go on Fox News and agree with the presenter and pick a specific one?
Okay, fine. How about when he called Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson socialists?

I'm sure The Intercept had a lot to say about that, right? No? Some other horrible stance he's taken?
I'll agree with you that his comment is far fetched. His definition of a "socialist" appears to be more related to non-interventionism.
As you had the courtesy to provide an example I did a little digging too and found that the Intercept did publish an article about Glenn which was not all that positive.
His departure appears related to his belief that The Intercept was "censoring" his political views. https://theintercept.com/2020/10/29/glenn-greenwald-resigns-the-intercept/
The articles I've read from Glenn from time to time have been accurate but it is good to know that his reporting is very selective.
I'd read that article, but they apparently want to hoover up my data by making me make an account with my email address to sign in and read it.
Another reason not to trust The Intercept apparently.
Okay, but that doesn't change the fact that they want my data. You've given me a much bigger reason not to trust them than anything about Greenwald.
Most American news selectively reports more negatively on other countries such as Russia and China. Iran is a hot topic where every article is about women's rights. The favorite subject of the west when they want to commit war crimes anywhere. Need to destroy the country to save those poor oppressed women.
All news has a bias and wants to paint a narrative. The only question is whether their reporting is factually accurate or you are getting half the story.
