Glenn Greenwald’s decision to resign from The Intercept stems from a fundamental disagreement over the role of editors in the production of journalism and the nature of censorship. Glenn demands the absolute right to determine what he will publish. He believes that anyone who disagrees with him is corrupt, and anyone who presumes to edit his words is a censor. Thus, the preposterous charge that The Intercept’s editors and reporters, with the lone, noble exception of Glenn Greenwald, have betrayed our mission to engage in fearless investigative journalism because we have been seduced by the lure of a Joe Biden presidency. A brief glance at the stories The Intercept has published on Biden will suffice to refute those claims.

The narrative Glenn presents about his departure is teeming with distortions and inaccuracies — all of them designed to make him appear as a victim, rather than a grown person throwing a tantrum. It would take too long to point them all out here, but we intend to correct the record in time. For now, it is important to make clear that our goal in editing his work was to ensure that it would be accurate and fair. While he accuses us of political bias, it was he who was attempting to recycle the dubious claims of a political campaign — the Trump campaign — and launder them as journalism.

We have the greatest respect for the journalist Glenn Greenwald used to be, and we remain proud of much of the work we did with him over the past six years. It is Glenn who has strayed from his original journalistic roots, not The Intercept.

The defining feature of The Intercept’s work in recent years has been the investigative journalism that came out of painstaking work by our staffers in Washington, D.C., New York, and across the rest of the country. It is the staff of The Intercept that has been carrying out our investigative mission — a mission that has involved a collaborative editing process.

We have no doubt that Glenn will go on to launch a new media venture where he will face no collaboration with editors — such is the era of Substack and Patreon. In that context, it makes good business sense for Glenn to position himself as the last true guardian of investigative journalism and to smear his longtime colleagues and friends as partisan hacks. We get it. But facts are facts, and The Intercept’s record of fearless, rigorous, independent journalism speaks for itself.

I’ll agree with you that his comment is far fetched. His definition of a “socialist” appears to be more related to non-interventionism.

As you had the courtesy to provide an example I did a little digging too and found that the Intercept did publish an article about Glenn which was not all that positive.

His departure appears related to his belief that The Intercept was “censoring” his political views. https://theintercept.com/2020/10/29/glenn-greenwald-resigns-the-intercept/

The articles I’ve read from Glenn from time to time have been accurate but it is good to know that his reporting is very selective.

Did the IDF forget to force a metal pipe up his asshole to find evidence of a Hamas tunnel network?

He might be pulling the same move as the ex Dutch MP Mark Rutte.

Rutte let the Dutch cabinet fall on a lie last year. Seemingly for no reason. Turns out he had a job lined up as head of NATO which he just got last week. So all his excuses about not being able to work out the differences between parties was likely a lie.

Maybe we will also see Macron get a nice cushy job somewhere in top politics soon.

Which comment of Greenwald should they condemn exactly?

Macron is probably job hopping. Mark Rutte from the Netherlands did the same thing. Randomly disbanded the government for a lie.

Turned out Rutte had a cushy job lined up as head of NATO. Which he officially got appointed for last week

Britain and Zionism name a better combo

Write factually accurate articles with amazing investigative reporting. Should they condemn Hamas Glenn Greenwald at the beginning of every article?

Manifest v3 joke

What happened after Collateral Murder except that Manning was found out and imprisoned, thereby removing a liability in the US military?

People like us learned about it and started rejecting US imperialist propaganda. Even the general sheep who only watch CNN and Fox News occasionally see some coverage about Assagne and US war crimes. And how their government covers it up.

In the past people would say that “America doesn’t do this kind of stuff”. If you said anything factual during the Iraq war they’d ridicule you like they did at the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

These days I never hear that argument anymore. Everyone has accepted that the American military is ran by war criminals.

Who isn’t a slave of their government these days? Western country have wagies slaving their life away while the government prints money to make housing unaffordable.

The word slave in this context refers to him thinking that only Chinese people are economically extorted. Not because of their ethnicity but because of their government structure.

Informing a person is a lot more helpful than just flat out banning them.

Do not trust anything the New York Times writes about trans people. Please go verify everything from other sources.

But what about my embedded ad-blocker?

Disagreeing with one of the founders which doesn’t work there anymore means it’s untrustworthy? If you believe The Intercept is a “right wing propaganda outlet” you’d better to cite examples of that than what you think of an ex-employee.

Not to mention that disgruntled and/or naive employees will leak things that their employer doesn’t actually want leaked.

But this is what we believe is happened for Assagne. A disillusioned employee leaked the documents to Assagne.

It means that people look at what you want them to see rather than what you don’t want them to see.

This was exactly what the government doesn’t want us to see. What do you believe they are using this as a cover for?

There is no baseless claim it is the only reasonable claim from our current understanding of physics.

Claiming that the universe magically came out of nothing is not an answer to some. It contradicts all of science especially the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Nonetheless you are still conflating Atheism and Agnosticism. These words exist for a reason they mean different things.

Germany is famous for being a primary enabler of the Genocide in Gaza. Only beaten by America the original Nazis from Manifest Destiny.

Supporting the white nationalist ethnostate of Israel only solidifies the Nazi reputation of Germany being as strong as ever.

This pretense of antisemitism is just a dogwhistle for white nationalists to hide their racism

But nobody is saying America took accountability. Keeping the lid on would require no accountability to be taken.

Compare this to Israel for example which up until a year ago managed to rewrite history and shove all their war crimes under the table. They enjoyed a great reputation from it.

Exposing war crimeadoesn’t appear to do anything positive.
