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.

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.

The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept’s editors, in violation of my contractual right of editorial freedom, censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all New-York-based Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.

The censorship MSM censorship is now profound and pervasive, not hiding it at all. If you attempt to speak out about the harms of globalization and endless war, you will be ruthlessly censored.

Thank God patrick.net still exists!

Also reported on Breitbart:

Glenn Greenwald Resigns from The Intercept, Claims Editors Refused to Publish Biden Criticisms

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald announced Thursday that he has resign from The Intercept, the online news publication he co-founded in 2014, accusing editors of refusing the publish his latest article unless all parts critical of Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden were removed.

The Intercept which I have read on numerous occasions has an obvious left-wing bias in which certain facts are excluded that do not support that bias. I know Greenwald is a fair and honest reporter that I agree with on many issues including freedom of speech. He has always been a big freedom of speech advocate. I don't agree with Greenwald on some issues like universal healthcare. I think he is even for giving illegal immigrants health care, but I'm not sure. But some of the reporters on the Intercept are extreme lefties and I always wondered why does he allow such extremist to lie and prevaricate the truth on his website when he stands for truth and freedom of speech. Now I see he didn't have much control of the content of the website he co-founded, funny how things you start can get away from you.

He recently did a great interview on the Joe Rogan podcast you can see on YouTube:

Also Tim Pool says The Intercept violated his contract that gave him editorial immunity when they wouldn't allow him to print what he wanted:

These government institutions like the FBI and CIA are too large and more importantly, are unelected.

Glenn Greenwald Resigns From The Intercept
A note from the editors of the Intercept

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.

What a load of crap. The stories published about Biden's corruption on The Intercept have all been very dismissive of any claims Biden engaged in influence peddling. They save all their ire for Trump.

Wow, even the far-left Washington Post has an article about it:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2020/10/29/glenn-greenwald-intercept-resigns/

Of course the WaPo article does not mention BRIBERY or HUNTER BIDEN, but at least people are going to wonder what it was that caused Glenn Greenwald to resign.

And if they do searches on any search engine EXCEPT GOOGLE, then they will find all the details.

The media discredits itself daily.

The SWIFT system shows all kinds of financial transactions. ANYTHING involving any Biden or any US Pol would have been flagged and subject to mandatory review. Even 5 digit transactions from China.

There's no way the FBI, Treasury, etc. didn't know about this.

It's the cover up.

All articles on Biden should at least include large, hi def picture of Hunter's dong.

The Intercept editorial board defended themselves, saying they only fuck over and interfere with Greenwald's shit half as much as they fuck over and interfere with everybody else's shit. Besides, they don't want to lose that CIA/Deep (Shallow) State funding.

You can read the entire censored article here:

...if you can put up clicking through an annoying request for your email and find it on the list of his articles.

There is no question that Democrats are gearing up to use their new power to apply far more pressure than ever on Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. to censor any views they deem "threatening." Obama could not be clearer about this:https://t.co/G22reIGTiQ

Please look at what is going here. Democrats are defining whoever opposes them not as adversaries but as national security threats, fascist terrorists, etc. — all to justify blocking them from the internet using their influence with Silicon Valley.https://t.co/ZDk4OJKTJS

The outlets most loudly demanding suppression of "disinformation" — CNN, NBC, The Atlantic, etc — are the ones who not only sold the bullshit of the Iraq War but also the last 4 years of deranged Russia-took-over! conspiratorial insanity. They want their discourse monopoly back
