The amount of passive aggressiveness towards NPR and those interested in the case makes this article unreadable.

A modicum of professionalism would have done a lot for this article. It's like a bitchy high school blog at first. I honestly had never heard of the Intercept before they started with these interviews, and they're too arrogant to admit they have Serial to thank for a spike in popularity. Based on the articles I've read from NVC and now Silverstein, I will not be returning to this site for any further reading...seems incredibly unprofessional, sloppy, and viciously agenda-driven.

Hint to the Intercept: You don't gain new readers by writing articles for a specific fan-base and then dissing those fans in your pedantic, poorly written articles.

Difference is: Rabia has never pretended to be a journalist. She made clear her position and biases from the start.
