Glenn Greenwald: The Intercept didn't want articles that would 'reflect negatively on Joe Biden'
Glenn Greenwald, co-founder of the news site The Intercept, said Friday that he resigned from the publication in order to maintain his "editorial freedom," adding that editors were wary of publishing articles of his that were critical of Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
"I would never accept somebody telling me that I can't publish my views or perspectives without having other people first agree with what it is that I'm saying," Greenwald told Hill.TV's "Rising."
"I never wanted to enter media outlets, and when they began trying to invite me to go and join those media outlets, my condition was always I need to keep this same exact editorial freedom where I post directly to the internet without editorial intervention except in rare cases," he added.
"Obviously, I didn't go and create a new media outlet when I created The Intercept in order to impose greater limits on my own freedom," Greenwald continued. "That right is sacrosanct to me, to be able to express my views without having to negotiate the tone I'm using, or what it is that I'm saying to appease other people's ideological preferences or their own views of what is correct or incorrect."
