> Glenn Greenwald

Oh yeah, the guy who decided that the Giuliani/Randomly chosen computer repair shop/Hunter Biden laptop story was of such earth-shattering, incredible importance that he chose it as the hill he wanted to die upon, resigning from The Intercept in protest because the editors wouldn't let him publish stories about it.

Seriously? Greenwald has lost all credibility.

Please don't take HN threads on flamewar tangents. Jumping into the nearest lava pit immediately upon some provocation is, to quote my son when he was two, "what we not do".

The letter only mentions Greenwald to appropriately credit his reporting along with hers for the founding basis of The Intercept. Otherwise the mention of his departure from The Intercept is notably absent.

Lack of mention of the manner and specific reason for his departure are highly suspicious in and of themselves.

I mean, he left because as a founder of the intercept, he had a contract item that editors couldn't deny him the ability to publish in the intercept on the grounds of content. When they told him that he couldn't publish anything that could be construed as against Biden, he left as they had broken their contract with him.

Yes. IIRC they were going to let him publish the story, he just had to remove everything about Joe Biden, lol.
