Say what you will about CNN, MSNBC, and even Fox: their news departments meet editorial standards that Greenwald can’t handle. He chose to ragequit and declared “censorship” instead.
CNN is not journalism. CNN is a TV show designed to enthrall and manipulate.
Glenn Greenwald has countless times illuminated the deception of the Intelligence Community and how they peddle influence through CNN.
I don't understand how you do not see this. I think you are choosing to see a particular world view because you are perhaps uncomfortable with how chaoticly complicated the world is.
The people that I look to for the truth in complicated times are: Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibi, Chris Hedges and Sam Harris.
I recommend these people to everyone.

Specifically "Welfare" & "Socialism"
CNN definitely has a bias towards scandal and outrage but so does Greenwald. He has the same incentives as them (clicks) but he does it without fact checkers.
What I recommend to people is a diverse media diet. Different mediums, different incentives, etc. So not Fox News and MSNBC, but newspapers, books about current events, public broadcasting, etc. And best to be skeptical of anyone promising “the truth about X” or “what Y doesn’t want you to know”.
All newsrooms have safeguards in place to ensure what they publish is credible, and policies for handling mistakes and corrections when stuff slips through the cracks.
The fact that Greenwald threw a tantrum when held to standards that most working journalists are (and should be) held to does not make him a brave truth teller. It means his credibility is suspect.
Pretending for a moment that there was a terrible editor who was conspiring to squash a well-sourced story, a competent and ethical journalist could simply bring the story elsewhere to get published or pass along their findings to another journalist at a different publication. What a charlatan and a hack would do is raise a big stink, cry wolf, and direct their audience to a substack where people can pay money to hear more, free from any pesky fact checkers.
