Jeremy Scahill
Cory amplifies 1×War, national-security, and state-power reporting (Drop Site News, ex-Intercept).
Jeremy Scahill is an investigative journalist and war correspondent, author of the bestsellers Blackwater and Dirty Wars, and one of the three founding editors of The Intercept. In July 2024 he left The Intercept to co-found Drop Site News with Ryan Grim, a reader-supported investigative outlet on Substack. As of 2026 he reports there on war, US foreign policy, and the Middle East.
The strongest case
Independent, adversarial reporting on war, empire, and covert US power is essential and chronically underfunded; a reader-supported outlet free of advertiser and corporate pressure can pursue accountability journalism that mainstream media avoids.
And against
Critics say his work runs consistently in one anti-interventionist, anti-Western direction, and that Drop Site's coverage of Israel/Gaza and US foreign policy can read as advocacy that selects facts to fit a predetermined frame.
