> "It would be unfortunate and detrimental to The Intercept for this story to be published elsewhere." --Betsy Reed > So that is stating very clearly: No we won't publish it. No you can't publish it elsewhere. You are just embarrassing yourself here. > “Make of the story Greenwald wrote what you will. There's been plenty of opportunity to falsify it and discredit it.“ It has already been widely discredited by every major news room, including the Republican-leaning Wall Street Journal. At this point, there is utterly no sense in which a person can believe the unsubstantiated allegations against Hunter Biden or the completely ridiculous found laptop story, other than literally supporting a fascist presidential regime. What you’re suggesting is a deeply radical and extreme point of view that has been overwhelmingly dismissed by every credible news source. You’re taking a stance on both the Greenwald story and the Hunter Biden story that is wildly and ridiculously decoupled from reality, in a seriously extreme manner that deserves to be called out as totally debunked and inappropriate.

I can't help anyone who thinks that is Betsy Reed, in response to a question about publishing the article elsewhere saying "yes, go ahead and do that" I don't see holding that view as embarrassing and genuinely can't see how it could be. Do you really, honestly see it like that? The story has been discredited right up to the point of the emails. Nobody I'm aware of has said they are fake. Not even the Bidens. That makes them interesting concerning a presidential candidate and his response to shady dealing in his own immediate family based on his political profile. That makes them interesting if you are a Democrat. That makes them interesting if you think Biden is a great candidate and the possible person to be President. If you really want Trump gone at all costs you might want to suppress it. That's a huge cost. You don't have to trust Rudy Giuliani and i don't as far as i can drop kick him. Does anyone? The "it's the Russians" as a source also lacks evidence. Where the hell is the laptop from? How did it happen? No clue. Why isn't that being followed with some vigor? It's strange that it isn't, no? I sure won't be hitching my wagon to the honesty and integrity of Hunter Biden. The emails don't detract at all from the stench. There's still a belief that we got Trump because Russians and Wikileaks and not because some run of the mill Democrat party corruption came to light and was widely reported on. There's still a belief that reporting on that Hilary Democrat corruption was doing the work of Russia. You either decide that it's your job to report on corruption every single time it comes to light regardless of who or you don't. Washington corruption is endemic. Perhaps we can agree on that. "Inappropriate" I'd agree with. We clearly see that very differently. I want Glenn being inappropriate regarding the powerful. I'd like it if more journalists were inappropriateb when it comes to highlighting corruption.
