Read the piece The Intercept refused to run: GLENN GREENWALD'S blistering attack on the US media's conspiracy of silence over Hunter Biden's laptops and the serious questions Joe still has to answer over son's sketchy Chinese and Ukrainian business deals
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 30 2020 | Glenn Greenwald

Posted on 10/31/2020 1:18:30 AM PDT by knighthawk

Journalist Glenn Greenwald has resigned from news outlet The Intercept which he co-founded after claiming he was being silenced over an article on Presidential candidate Joe Biden.

He says he was told his article would only be published if critical points against the Democratic candidate were removed and he says this forms part of a US media conspiracy of silence over Hunter Biden's laptops and the serious questions Joe still has to answer over his son's sketchy Chinese and Ukrainian business deals.

He argues that political censorship has 'contaminated virtually every mainstream centre-left political organization, academic institution and newsroom.'

"He argues that political censorship has 'contaminated virtually every mainstream centre-left political organization, academic institution and newsroom.'"

YUP...I've known for decades. I have a 27 year old Ford Ranger that has had this "I Don't Believe The Liberal Media" bumper sticker on it for 26 years.

For decades now, the media vehemently denied a bias. Those of us who are older saw it decades ago. The bias to the Left began in the 60's, and got progressively worse every decade.

By the early to mid-90s, the media's horrible liberal slant was too big to hide any longer. Along came the explosion in popularity of Rush Limbaugh, and a few later Fox News (when Fox was a legitimate Conservative alternative thanks to the pioneering work of Roger Ailes and Britt Hume).

Many of us sought out forums like Free Republic because we were some of the few that saw what the media was doing, and fought back.

Today, we don't simply have bias. We have a full blown conspiracy that involves massive censorship, election fraud, election tampering, corruption, criminality, and outright treason (and it is treason because of their alliances with foreign enemies of the United States).

Big Tech and the 6 corporations who own 95% of all media are enemies of America, enemies of Freedom, and enemies of the American people. They are on the side of abject Evil.

The roots of the media's descent into Hell began with the CIA, and Operation Mockingbird. Today, our press is almost 100% compromised, and is nothing but a propaganda arm for Democrats, Globalists, and Satanists.

Today, we don't have a free press, but a dystopian nightmare right out of a George Orwell novel.

Very succinct, very accurate. It’s for reasons like this that I no longer watch anything coming out of the MSM, and yes, that includes Faux News (except for Tucker Carlton).

Sometimes a lie can take the form of silence.

Without Fox News, it would be a virtual blackout.

If it wasn’t for websites like this one, One America News Network and others like them, we’d be in a real pickle.

It began long before that. The FCC was formed in the first term of FDR. He appointed the people to it. They insured all the radio networks were pro-FDR. The radio networks become the television networks.

All the mass media become dominated by Progressive ideology. Progressive ideology moved from being pro-American to pro-globalist and Leftist during the 40's and 50's to blossom into all out anti-American in the 60's.

As the cherry on top, the Chinese are willing to spend lots of money to have influence in the American media (and elsewhere, such as Australia.)
