Paul - the "pish" in this thread is entirely yours.
I'm glad you acknowledge that Encounter didn't conduct orginal investigative journalism.
Counterpunch has published a large amount of investigative journalism.
Scahill has published original investigative journalism.
Democracy Now continues to broadcast original investigative journalism.
Do I agree with everything published or broadcast by Counterpunch, Scahill, Democracy Now, Naomi Klein etc? No, of course not.
But to describe them as "left gatekeepers" because you disagree with this or that and thereby throw out everything published there is plain crazy.
