Glenn Greenwald Resigns from The Intercept, Citing "Censorship" of His Story on Hunter Biden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In media news, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald has
resigned from The Intercept after accusing the news outlet of censoring
an article he wrote about Joe Biden. Greenwald, who co-founded The
Intercept, accused editors of refusing to "publish the article unless I
agree to remove all of the sections critical of the candidate they want
to win." Greenwald's article focused on disputed corruption allegations
about Biden's son Hunter that first appeared in the New York Post. In a
statement, The Intercept said, in part, "While he accuses us of
political bias, it was he who was attempting to recycle the dubious
claims of a political campaign - the Trump campaign - and launder them
as journalism."
