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.

I read his post, their retort, then he posted the article he wrote, which seemed overlong but not saying much that hadn't been reported already. But then he posted the emails he exchanged with the editor as "proof" of censorious behavior and it was pretty hard to read them that way. Still, I like Greenwald and appreciate his journalism. It just seems like this departure was less about the article in question than about death by a thousand cuts.

If contractually you are allowed to write whatever you want and they want to change an article before they will publish it that is censorship

Most of the editor's remarks focused on tightening up the argument with verifiable info to strengthen the thesis and decreasing the word count. That's not censorship. It's editing. If Greenwald had written back and said I don't want to do this and the editor replied "it's this way or nothing" then it would be censorship.

You can read the emails yourself and see if that's what they wanted.

Emails With Intercept Editors Showing Censorship of My Joe Biden Article

Given The Intercept's vehement denials, readers are entitled to see for themselves what the truth is: transparency journalism with integrity requires.

Editor:

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.

I mean they are literally saying focus the story on why Joe Biden is not being put through the ringer.

That sure sounds like something other than protecting Joe Biden
