BiographySilverstein worked for the Los Angeles Times as an investigative reporter, for The Associated Press in Brazil, and has written for Mother Jones, Washington Monthly, The Nation, Slate, and Salon.[1] He is a self-described "vole" in the newspaper business, and an opponent of what he considers "false 'balance'" in the news media.[1] In 1993, Silverstein started CounterPunch, a political newsletter. Silverstein left this publication in 1996. Silverstein previously wrote a regular column for Harper’s Magazine, called Washington Babylon. His last column was in September 2010. Silverstein was also Washington editor for Harper's.[2] He drew attention in 2007 for a report in which he went undercover as part of an investment group with business interests in Turkmenistan, raising questions about journalistic ethics. Silverstein said that he could not have exposed the willingness of the companies to work with a Stalinist dictatorship using conventional journalism methods.[3][4][5] In December 2013, Silverstein was hired as senior investigative reporter by First Look Media.[6] In November 2014, Silverstein began writing for First Look's The Intercept. There, Silverstein sparked some controversy for an article critical of the popular NPR podcast, Serial.[7][8][9] In 2011 Silverstein wrote an article for Salon falsely claiming that Eli Lake's reporting on Georgia was biased because pro-Georgian lobbyists had paid for his meals and drinks in the past. This report was widely derided by journalists on Twitter and rebutted by Ben Smith on Politico. Silverstein implies that Lake’s relationship with these lobbyists influenced his original report of a bomb blast near the U.S. Embassy in Tblisi. That story was confirmed by The New York Times. Both pieces come to the same conclusion that a Russian military intelligence officer was implicated by Georgian and U.S. authorities in the bombing. Lake has publicly stated he has always paid his tab whenever meeting with Georgian sources. In February 2015, Silverstein announced his resignation from The Intercept in a series of Facebook posts calling his former employers a "pathetic joke". Expressing anger and disillusionment towards the company, Silverstein stated, "I am one of many employees who was hired under what were essentially false pretenses; we were told we would be given all the financial and other support we needed to do independent, important journalism, but instead found ourselves blocked at every step of the way by management's incompetence and bad faith."[10] Silverstein launched the website Washington Babylon in 2016, for which he is editor-in-chief.[11] The site is named after his previous column at Harper's and the 1996 book he co-wrote with journalist Alexander Cockburn. Silverstein said his goal for Washington Babylon is "to cover DC politicians and journalists like Hollywood celebrities – not the way they are worshiped by our current media masters."[12] BibliographyBooks
