   I noticed that Bari Weiss also used her "contribution" as an advert for her blog as well. Honestly, their willingness to help Elon manufacture this absurd nonstory should disqualify them from being considered serious journalists...because they look like they're for sale.

     @Bullix @chadloder @micahflee Weiss shouldn't have been considered a 'serious' journalist for a _while_ tho

     The Intercept's Lee Fang worked with Elon Musk on a "Twitter Files" story and used the opportunity to launch his own personal Substack, knowing his colleague at The Intercept @micahflee is still banned by Elon Musk for his factual reporting on Musk.

     If Lee Fang is going to boost his own personal substack at the expense of any kind of principled solidarity with his colleagues, why should I continue my recurring donation to @theintercept?

     I'd rather donate directly to Micah Lee and Robert Mackey for their work than continue indirectly to fund Fang's work - let Fang raise money on his own substack.
