The "confrontational libertarian" Glenn Greenwald, who ironically switched to substack because the intercept, tried to meddle with his reporting about the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was censored by facebook and twitter.
EDIT: I guess some people think this a controversial take, hence all the down votes.
- marcus_holmes 5y agoI've been reading his stuff after his "Why I left the Intercept" got posted here. I've gotta say, I agree with lots of what he's saying about journalism nowadays. The whole article about journalists using the language of victimhood [0] to protect themselves really struck a nerve. I've seen this attitude and behaviour first-hand. Commercial journalism is a mess, and getting messier. The business model is broken, and journalism is trashing what's left of its reputation trying to save it. I don't know if Substack is the answer. It might just be the final nail in the coffin. But something has to replace this mess.

- SamoyedFurFluff 5y agoI looked into Glenn Greenwald but as I said before I’m not looking for political commentary, just the facts, from reporters who aren’t just re-reporting something that some other journalist already found.
