So you admit here that your first story - which you promoted heavily- was inaccurate and falsely accused Gil of doing something that you had zero proof of?

Which you know because we include that in the story.

Gil Cisneros was the one forced to find an independent voice Authenticator to prove the negative. The Intercept did not take ANY steps to authenticate voicemail before launching false accusations.

I sent you the audio directly pre-publication. And Dayen approached Gil at an event, was told to email questions and promised answers. Instead campaign did not engage until after the story was up. Just not true that we took no steps.

nice attempt to desperately change the topic. #accountability

the intercept reporters are well-versed in the 5 W's of journalism- Who, What, When, Where & Whataboutism

lol you buried it in a massive update that you hoped no one would see, as you've done nothing to raise awareness about it. Also, your OWN forensic analyst says he doesnt think its Cisneros. What a fking joke.
