In news that I’m sure will have everyone here incredibly sad, Glenn Greenwald; professional contrarian; faux erudite bullshit artist; asshole; seemingly unaware Russian intelligence dupe; professional victim of everyone else’s intolerance, shortsightedness, stupidity, and inability to appreciate his brilliance; and person running an investigative journalism venture built on his reputation of publishing information provided by leakers; but unable to actually protect one of the leakers because he never actually established any standard operating procedures to vet and protect leakers and he and his crack team are morons; has quit The Intercept. Why you ask? Because The Intercept had betrayed the high ideals and standards that Greenwald established, but apparently failed to inculcate with Pierre Omidyar’s money.
Take it away Glenn!
My Resignation From The Intercept
The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own articles.https://t.co/dZrlYGfEBf

"But the pathologies, illiberalism, and repressive mentality that led to the bizarre spectacle of my being censored by my own media outlet are ones that are not unique to The Intercept."

As you can imagine, he wasted over 10,000 words in his diatribe against the publication he established with someone else’s money for not letting him do whatever it is he wanted to do because they are all a bunch of partisan hacks and don’t understand Glenn’s genius for producing overwrought garbage.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
