BYE-BYE! Glenn Greenwald Throws A Tantrum, Quits The Intercept
Glenn Greenwald, who made his bones off of the progressive community, then showed his true colors in the following years until finally turning into an unrepentant Trump apologist resigned from The Intercept.
As with all Trump surrogates, he left by whining, bitching, and complaining about being censored.
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 Intercept responded with this:
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.

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 was sad to see a man I thought held principled ideals and beliefs back before Obama was elected to office turn into a male version of Kellyanne Conway, serving a white supremacist and authoritarian like Trump with lies, smears and glee.
