Here’s where a recent story in The New York Times[1] got its information: “American officials said … officials said … several officials said … American officials acknowledge … Western officials say … a Western official said …” (Story by Jon Schwarz, republished from FirstLook.org)

And here’s where you’re getting the news if you read The Washington Post[2]: “according to senior American and Persian Gulf officials … officials said … was described by the officials … The officials, however, did not rule out … Saudi and U.S. officials described … a senior administration official said …”

Much of the U.S. media might as well as be named “Official Sources Say.” And by using their standard method of newsgathering — calling up powerful people and writing down what they’re told — the media has been a key accomplice to the invasion of Iraq (cost: $5 trillion[3] and hundreds of thousands of lives), the collapse of the U.S. economy ($6.5 trillion[4] in lost output) and numberless smaller catastrophes.

The Intercept created this new blog to do the opposite: to tell the unofficial story, one that describes the reality of U.S. politics as accurately as we possibly can. We believe the awful truth is out there, it’s just not at background briefings by the National Security Council.

Unofficial Sources[5] will tell you everything about the political and economic corruption that’s stealing money, power and hope from ordinary citizens — corruption centered in Washington, D.C. but oozing into every nook and cranny of the country. We’ll take you on a backstage tour of the national security/surveillance state. We’ll make sure hypocrisy and lies are the headline, rather than the 34th paragraph.

We’ll dissect the rackets being run on us by the government in collusion with business, business in collusion with the government, and the media in collusion with both of them. And we’ll stick up for the principle that if you’re powerful and you hurt regular people, you should be held accountable, something that now seems as old-timey as a rotary telephone.
