I've been using google search, and all other products, less and less. i find a mixture of perplexity and chatgpt perform much better and find higher quality results faster.

the degoogling process will be a long haul but im determined to do it.

Exit polls considerably off from what the primary election results were, specifically in states with electronic voting machines, has been well documented.

There's definitely an agenda in place on HN. Every comment even remotely pro Trump has been downvoted to grey text.

Their last line is fully ironic considering the Obama admin's war on whistleblowers.

"Becoming a whistleblower is not an easy decision, but sometimes it is the right thing to do."

Did the "nonprofit, nonpartisan" Intercept publish similar instructions over the last 8 years? For a "journalistic piece" it's odd there is no author of the article. They don't have any contact links beside an onion address and a PO Box.

Who funds the Intercept anyway?

I think Greenwald, a self described liberal, has been fair in calling out other liberals in their hypocrisy, especially the Obama admin.
