Article on Joe and Hunter Biden Censored By The Intercept
Substack ^ | 10/29/2020 | Glenn Greenwald

Posted on 10/29/2020 1:59:25 PM PDT by PhxRising

Publication by the New York Post two weeks ago of emails from Hunter Biden's laptop, relating to Vice President Joe Biden's work in Ukraine, and subsequent articles from other outlets concerning the Biden family's pursuit of business opportunities in China, provoked extraordinary efforts by a de facto union of media outlets, Silicon Valley giants and the intelligence community to suppress these stories.

One outcome is that the Biden campaign concluded, rationally, that there is no need for the front-running presidential candidate to address even the most basic and relevant questions raised by these materials. Rather than condemn Biden for ignoring these questions -- the natural instinct of a healthy press when it comes to a presidential election -- journalists have instead led the way in concocting excuses to justify his silence.

After the Post’s first article, both that newspaper and other news outlets have published numerous other emails and texts purportedly written to and from Hunter reflecting his efforts to induce his father to take actions as Vice President beneficial to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, on whose board of directors Hunter sat for a monthly payment of $50,000, as well as proposals for lucrative business deals in China that traded on his influence with his father.

This article was too critical of Joe Biden that it had to be censored by the editors of the Intercept, which the author, Glenn Greenwald, co-founded.

The Intercept is somewhat left leaning, but known for some pretty good investigative journalism. Most of what I have read has been more technical in nature, but also pieces about privacy, big tech, and some politics. If they were to actively go after this story, including examining a forensic copy of Hunter’s laptop, it would have been provided far too much legitimacy to the scandal.

Greenwald is an honest liberal - not a Party hack like most of them.

He has been on Tucker’s show a few times and will no doubt be on again soon to discuss this topic.

I also would recommend looking up comedian Jimmy Dore.

NBC’s Chuck ‘U’ Todd on his regular ‘voice’ appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, referred to this as unvalidated. If MSM never looks, they will remain unvalidated! Circular logic equals ‘circling the wagons’, does it not?

Weird. The same people who want to ban guns are officially banning any truth that makes them and their operatives look bad. It's almost like it would be aligned with Socialists. Fortunately, these sorts of things have never happened before so there's no history lesson here at all. Nope, not at all. This is all probably just a coincidence.

I always liked Glenn Greenwald and, in turn, The Intercept. I don’t often agree with them but they had a reputation for being principled and intellectually honest. Too bad his own publication put the kibosh on his story. I still like him, he’s been forthright about not only the Biden stories but also about the media collusion to silence such stories. But I have to like the publication quite a bit less now.

Leftwad points to Biden/Harris sign, spits at MAGA-hat pedestrian walking down the sidewalk and says, “Can’t you read that?”

“Yes, I can read it. It says you voted for a corrupt rapist twice, followed by a moron, a traitor, a man who was not even a citizen—twice—a mass murderer, and now a man who is non compos mentis. Congratulations. You have never once succeeded in voting for anyone who was remotely fit to be president.”

I’m sure Chris Wray will deep-six any investigation into Biden.
