Here we will disagree. Greenwald co-founded The Intercept and resigned in 2020 because his writing had been changed prior to publication. As a supposed forum for "independent journalists," he called foul and quit. My understanding is that the Intercept, founded as a beacon of free speech, also succumbed to what became known as trump derangement syndrome. Clearly, the larger press lost its way, but The Intercept was supposed to allow independence. Greenwald had written a story critical of some of the dems bad behaviors. As a consequence, he got slapped--and edited--by colleagues and the Intercept's funder. The Intercept is subsidized journalism (it was seen as a charity), but it had promised each journalist true independence. Greenwald's piece was not allowed and so he quit. He wasn't a trump supporter, just wrote about the dems messing with reality and this led to The Intercept breaching the sacrosanct rule of independent journalism. Greenwald resigned rather than rewrite his piece and now writes at Substack where he's on his own.
I don't agree with everything he says or writes, but he was willing to call BS on both the dems--when they deserved it--and The Intercept for breaking their own free speech rule.
We are once again learning the lesson that free speech is not as simple as it seems. But it's still the right thing to do. Just my 2cents.
