Hue hue hue hue hue hue hue.

Seriously, didn't he piss the Brazilians to the point they accused him of interfering with their government as a foreign agent and he cried "I'm being censored!!" all while accusing American government of being "Imperialist"?

Get fucked.

Also get fucked for getting South America politics so wrong he's basically one of Maduro's useful idiots.

Glenn's boyfriend is heavily involved in Brazilian political intrigue and Glenn is always running interference for him.

LOL Glenn´s husband is a midlevel representative from an incipient party... "running interference for him" is laughable. Also, by interfering with government you mean publishing hacked audios from top prosecutors and judges colluding to block a presidential candidate from running by locking him on flimsy charges? I will not be the one defending Lula´s tenure but it´s clearer than day that the judicial system corrupted massively to block his candidature, aided by the brazilian mainstream media and top level politicians and parties, you know, like the people ruling the country right now (Moro was the Security Minister, a super ministry that joint many interior and justice previous ministries just for him at the time of the leaks were being published). I won´t be hypocrite and say that was not good for the country but Glenn´s stance on that matter was EXACTLY the same on Biden´s case only he faced prosecution here for angering the government instead of just being blocked by his editorial board... you know banana republic issues americans will soon be experiencing as well.

He wasn't in control anymore.

Even though he was one of the three founders, and initially co-editor-in-chief, and the most well-known name at the paper, he had already given away all his power over the paper and demoted himself to simple journalist employee (for reasons that elude me) before the time of the Reality Winner scandal.

Other journalists and editors at the Intercept handled the Reality Winner story.

Though there are allegations that Glenn was given the opportunity to call "dibs" on the story, seeing how he was the famous "whistle-blower advocate journalist" and Reality Winner probably only chose the Intercept because of him, but he allegedly refused to take it because he was busy with other stories and projects in Brazil.
If Glenn had taken the story, rather than leaving it to less experienced colleagues, maybe Reality Winner's cover wouldn't have been blown - or so his detractors say.

I remember reading this. He became a full time investigative journo because that's what he wanted to do. He didn't want to be an editor or be in charge, he just wanted a place he could freely do his journalism, which is why he basically had "No fucking editors can tell me what the fuck to do" in his contract. The problem is progtards don't fucking understand the meaning of 'words'. They only understand 'feelings'. They are overly emotional faggots.

He's also one of two or three people that founded 'The Intercept', so he was only 33% of it. Though with the editorial board fucking with him, they've basically sunk 'The Intercept'. He's the only one of note there doing anything anyone besides people with TDS want to read. Again, these people don't care about success. They only want their feelings and emotion to matter, not logic and reason. They couldn't look at him objectively and go: "Hey, this is really the only reason anyone knows who we are. Maybe we shouldn't fuck with him." to "BIDEN AND KAMILA WILL SAVE US FROM ORANGE MAN. WHY YOU WRITE BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN. YOU NO WRITE BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN."

I mean, good for Greenwald for not bending the knee and sucking soy-filled cock. And in effect 'The Intercept' is now equivalent to slate, huffpo, salon, vice and basically indistinguishable from every single other news outlet on the planet. Say what you will about Greenwald, but he's one of the only investigative reporters left. I mean, he's taking his sources, his contacts, pretty much everything with him when he leaves. He's also permanently damaged 'The intercept' as well. Its not going to recover from this. And hilariously they decided to destroy the one thing they had going for it and are so small that there's no fucking way they'll be able to rebound from their fucking stupidity.
 
Greenwald seems to be pulling a Taibbi and moving over to Substack, seeking funding from individual subscriptions. Say what you will about the man, he's got BALLS.

Incidentally, Taibbi published an article about Greenwald's resignation on his own Substack, full of his increasingly common barely restrained rage at DNC shill journalism.

Reddit never ceases to amaze me. Some of these people are so fucking close to getting it. Several comments are about how Glenn has always been a great reporter who does excellent research and has been trustworthy... Therefore, they can only conclude this time he's just lost his mind for no reason.

Suggesting that Trump should, you know, do something about antifa is 'FBI agent' behaviour? Boy, you MAGAtards are something else.

"Do something" like.... federally deputize city police officers so that they can put federal charges on Antifa when a city attorney is unwilling to? "Do something" like... deploy federal law enforcement against the wishes of mayors and governors to protect federal property when no one else will? "Do something" like ... constantly offer to deploy troops to help states that are suffering unrest?

Yes, his suggestions sound very Iranian.

SubStack looks like a promising platform for these kinds of citizen journalists. Matt Taibbi is on there too. And the comment section is surprisingly intelligent.

Greenwald has written a followup post about the media fallout

Besides insults and assertions, they only write that they will "correct the record in time". What a joke. And the people commenting seems to eat it up of course.

Good God, the fucking arrogance on these cocksuckers: "It is Glenn who strayed from his original journalistic roots, not the Intercept" Its HIS FUCKING COMPANY. He can think for himself. And you are fucking NOTHING without him. Advertisers are going to treat you like cancer. Nobody knows 'The Intercept' except as 'The outlet Glenn Greenwald works at'. Now its going to be known as 'the outlet that Glenn Greenwald quit'. I have no doubt in my mind they were so ass-blasted about Greenwald sucking up all the fame. I cannot believe how up their own ass his editors are. I don't even know who the fuck Erik Wemple is. His last name sounds like a pimple you get on your asshole, since that's what he's acting like. Good lord. For example:
Glenn Greenwald dijo:
Recall that under my contract, and the practice of The Intercept over the last seven years, none of my articles is edited unless it presents the possibility of legal liability or complex original reporting, and not one of my articles in the last fifteen years — published with dozens of major media outlets around the world — has ever been retracted or even had appended to it a serious correction.

And also, they're full of shit:
Glenn Greenwald dijo:
Oct. 27 “story memo” from Intercept Editor Peter Maas (emphasis added):

Oct. 27, 2020

Glenn, I have carefully read your draft and there is some I agree with and some I disagree with but am comfortable publishing. However, there is some material at the core of this draft that I think is very flawed. Overall I think this piece can work best if it is significantly narrowed down to what you first discussed with Betsy — media criticism about liberal journalists not asking Biden the questions he should be asked more forcefully, and why they are failing to do that.

Unbelievable. No wonder Greenwald burned all bridges with them. They're insufferable.

Everyone knows the Jack Booted DHS Storm Troopers are beholden to vampire rules. Also, you can kill them all by burning down Hot Topic. Also also: every time DHS detains a dude off the streets they turn them into another DHS agent.
Whole planet will be DHS agents by this time next year, mark my words.
