Is the Intercept a Deep State Success Story? (w/ John Kiriakou)

After a bit of hiatus involving unfortunate illnesses for each of the Journalists 4 Sale hosts, we’re back and with a massive guest. My cohost Max Jones and I welcome former CIA analyst and torture program whistleblower John Kiriakou. After bringing a much needed reminder of the history of the torture program following the latest 9/11 anniversary on the Scheer Intelligence podcast, we wanted to ask John about the state of the media’s relationship with whistleblowers and taking the case of the Intercept’s controversial handling of multiple whistleblower accounts as a shining example of the eroding ethics and competence of journalism in the US. John takes us through his personal history with the media, shedding his wisdom on where we’re at in the grasp of the national security state.
