Journalism Takes a Hit, While a New Brand of Carpetbaggers Emerge

Journalism took a hit this week.

Alleen Brown, who did the extremely difficult and precise work of exposing TigerSwan and more at Standing Rock, was laid off by The Intercept this week.

It takes a great deal of courage, perseverance, and knowledge to do this type of reporting.

Equally troubling is the fact that Energy Transfer, owner of the Dakota Access Pipeline, is fighting The Intercept in court to halt the release of 16,000 TigerSwan documents that North Dakota already has.
