The Intercept says it "stands by its reporting" after the leftwing news outlet had been slammed by critics this week over reports targeting people on the social media platform Gab as well as the journalists who've covered the Black Lives Matter riots across the country last year.
"Over the past several days, wild and unfounded accusations have been hurled at The Intercept. We publish corrections and clarifications when we get something wrong, but none of these attacks have any merit whatsoever," the Intercept wrote on Friday night. "In the rancorous and dizzying world of social media, falsehoods are amplified and it is often difficult for well-intentioned readers to discern the truth… We are proud of this reporting, which in intent as well as execution bears no resemblance to the caricature being drawn on social media."
