I don’t believe I’ve ever read The Intercept but it sounds as if it was ‘fair and balanced’ at least. Conservative, as a long shot. The sad thing with the founder resigning, the leftist editors will now take the media to the left. America 0 – Leftist/commies 1.

The Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald resigned from the outlet on Thursday, after ‘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.’
Greenwald writes at his new home (greenwald.substack.com):
- The censored article, based on recently revealed emails and witness testimony, raised critical questions about Biden’s conduct. Not content to simply prevent publication of this article at the media outlet I co-founded, these Intercept editors also demanded that I refrain from exercising a separate contractual right to publish this article with any other publication.
- I had no objection to their disagreement with my views of what this Biden evidence shows: as a last-ditch attempt to avoid being censored, I encouraged them to air their disagreements with me by writing their own articles that critique my perspectives and letting readers decide who is right, the way any confident and healthy media outlet would. But modern media outlets do not air dissent; they quash it. So censorship of my article, rather than engagement with it, was the path these Biden-supporting editors chose.
Apparently he’s also blocked from publishing the article elsewhere, though he’s “asked my lawyer to get in touch with FLM to discuss how best to terminate my contract.”
What did The Intercept do in response to Greenwald leaving? They’re attempting to raise money off of it!
Greenwald has found support across the political spectrum for his decision to walk.
