Glenn Greenwald Resigns From The Intercept

My Resignation From The Intercept

The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own articles.

I feel that this story deserves its own thread. Greenwald is one of the most respected reporters in the game today. 

It shows how bad the corruption within the media is getting. 

"The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept’s editors censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression."

"But the pathologies, illiberalism, and repressive mentality that led to the bizarre spectacle of my being censored by my own media outlet are ones that are not unique to The Intercept."

I won't do a tit-for-tat with The Intercept. I get that need to defend themselves. But just note:

1) Ask Betsy Reed why they won't publish an accounting of what happened with Reality Winner & who that cover-up is protecting.

2) "Great journalism" that nobody reads isn't great.

3) Given their claims, I'm going to publish -- along with the censored article -- the emails about it so people can decide for themselves if it was censored.

4) I understand TI's editors will slam my journalism as "changed"; I wish they had had the courage to do it before today.

5) Like I said in my statement, The Intercept does still have some great journalists and publishes good things. I hope they can figure out how to induce some people to read it.

6) This is the CIA-mimicking paragraph I referenced that I was shocked to see at The Intercept:

“Here's the article that I wrote about Joe Biden's conduct in Ukraine & China, based on Hunter's emails and other witness testimony, along with a critique of media lies designed to protect the Democratic candidate, which The Intercept refused to publish:”

“Emails With Intercept Editors Showing Censorship of My Joe and Hunter Biden Article

There's no reason for anyone to have to decide who to believe. Feel free to see for yourselves what really happened:”

“On Friday, the New York Times reported that “no concrete evidence has emerged that the laptop contains Russian disinformation” and the paper said even the FBI has “acknowledged that it had not found any Russian disinformation on the laptop.”” 

Here are the questions Greenwald sent to the Biden campaign:

The article that The Intercept refused to publish that led to his resignation is one hell of an article and everyone should read it.

They aren’t journalists they are activists 

Read Matt Taibbi’s new article, with lots of new facts, about the Intercept and the repression taking place at unprecedented levels in numerous major newsrooms right now.

The morning after he launched his Substack, Greenwald’s newsletter is already in the top ten paid newsletters with “thousands of subscribers” at $5 month 

If our country allows for the censorship of our news to continue, we will be no better than any other communist nation that does the same. 

Make America Great Again.......AGAIN.
