Why Glenn Greenwald resigned

You're really good at the propagandistic technique of the seemingly innocent slipping in of a word that's not true or is misleading such as "entirely" when there are other and more important "about" reasons such as one of the main reasons for founding the Intercept was to free reporters from editorial censorship--the very thing which occurred when he submitted his article. And the idea that there was no evidence to back up his claims, which contractually should not have mattered, is moot since there is no evidence that his claims were false. To the contrary, the preponderance of evidence is that the Biden emails are genuine and not part of some Russian disinformation.

Greenwald repeatedly misspelled both Tony Bobulinski and Lesley Stahl's names in the column that he was so upset to have edited.

Correcting the spelling of words is not censorial editing of content. Again with the slipping in of some innocuous, irrelevant "detail" to create an air of suspicion as to Greenwald's motives.

The left and the CIA are tight, says Greenwald. And they are "set on destroying Trump".

Does the moron even know who runs the CIA?

Again, if you're referring to the video, the slipping in a word such as "are" is, for your propaganda purposes, putting things in the present tense. In the video, Greenwald clearly referred to past CIA personnel and actions.

And I don't suppose Greenwald's leaving the Intercept exactly now has anything at all to do with the massively increased scrutiny it's suddenly about to have.

It's last filing was for 2018. It's already on Covid extension time for it's nonprofit status.

More propaganda technique. Without directly making an unsubstantiated accusation, you slant in a suggestion of a "real" motive which somehow is supposed to cast a negative suspicion of everything Greenwald has said about the matter.

Meanwhile, new details of the Justice Department’s handling of the accusations against a Turkish bank reveal how President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pressured President Trump, prompting concern from top White House aides.

Then you end your propaganda by deflecting, with more propagandistic innuendo, to an unrelated matter.

A really slick little hit piece. Well done.
