It's worse than that. OK, so someone contacts The Intercept, claiming to have juicy NSA documents. Before anything gets shared, don't they have a duty to make sure that the source has good OPSEC?

You kid right ?
Snowden had to hand-hold the guy at Intercept to use GPG. Guardian leaked encryption keys in a book, before/after handing all of Wikileaks' stash to the Mossad.
At this point all we have left is 4chan, and anons like myself (who then get blocked by @dang after he's logged the IP addresses). /s
I'm being a bit pedantic but The Intercept didn't exist when Snowden leaked to Greenwald.
Also, many thanks to @dang for keeping 4chan out of HN.
The guy from Intercept did.

No, I don't. Not here, anyway.
The Intercept does have that duty. And at least some of their staff know it. But maybe they get overruled.
