Common questions

Is jeremy scahill left or right?
Scahill is a veteran investigative journalist of the anti-war left, best known for national-security reporting (the books 'Blackwater' and 'Dirty Wars') and as one of the three founding editors of The Intercept in 2014. In July 2024 he left The Intercept to co-found Drop Site News, a reader-supported investigative outlet that describes itself as non-aligned and anti-establishment — willing to go after Democrats and Republicans alike — though it is widely characterized as left-leaning. His current work at Drop Site centers heavily on U.S. foreign policy and the war in Gaza, continuing the sharply anti-interventionist, anti-national-security-establishment posture that has defined his career. He operates as an independent journalist rather than a partisan commentator, and his criticism of Democratic administrations on war and civil-liberties issues has been as pointed as his criticism of Republican ones.
