They actually mention the intercept and link to their article. That's more than 9\d% of publications usually do, so I believe they deserve nothing but praise.
The article is also extremely detailed and includes lots of original material. I stopped counting at around two dozen different people the reporters called for this article.
First reporting a story doesn't create any moral or legal ownership of the facts. Otherwise, it'd be impossible for any but the largest publications to survive. And it's even more asinine to complain about a publication putting in the effort to go further and deeper as they do in this case.
You have it completely backwards. NY Times is notorious in journalism for forgetting to mention others' articles or putting them towards the very end of the article.
