The Intercept agreed that Greenwald's assertion that liberal media was unwilling to even approach Biden about this topic and had gone too far to disavow it was one worth exploring and strongly supported by evidence.
But Greenwald asserted that because Hunter Biden had done what he did, it meant that Joe Biden was corrupt. The Intercept didn't want to risk its journalistic integrity by publishing it without evidence to support that.
then Greenwald asserted that THE INTERCEPT was being favorable to Biden... without evidence. The Intercept was one of the ONLY news outlets that didn't bury the Tara Reade story. They have had no problems printing negative news stories about Biden.
Look:
When it comes to Greenwald's reporting, I absolutely am with him on the bullshit that is "Russiagate". Even if Trump has a "Hunter Biden" relationship with Russian entities, the narrative that Russia is being every Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party failure and Trump "success" is plainly bullshit. And news outlets that parrot that narrative, especially MSNBC, are full of shit.
He's been one of the best reporters on the mess in Brazil, largely because he lives there.
But there's one thing about Greenwald that's always pissed me off and that's his free speech absolutism, his non-partisan absolutism that results in the worst kind of "both sides-ing" that ends up beneifiting the far right. Going on Fox News is not necessarily a bad thing. Having an audience with Tucker Carlson, even. But this motherfucker does not push back when Carlson and the like opportunistically use the news he provides to their own end, to a wider audience that filters up to the likes of Donald Trump.
His disdain for Hillary Clinton is as thinly veiled as my own. But sometimes Greenwald's posturing comes off as if neither fascism, nor white supremacy, nor the intersection of such is not a dealbreaker for him.
In this manner he resembles the Intellectual Dark Web motherfuckers who frame their situation in right-wing terms and sound like they're being persecuted.
That self-ether actually supports my assertion. He acts like he was fired when he actually quit. To that I say, FOH.
