Ben Smith / @benyt: Big chunk of the top of Substack is very in sync w where Greenwald is. https://twitter.com/...
@theintercept: Glenn Greenwald's decision to resign from The Intercept stems from a fundamental disagreement over the role of editors in the production of journalism and the nature of censorship. https://theintercept.com/...
Dr. Jill Stein / @drjillstein: Assange is in solitary. Snowden's in exile. Corbyn's suspended by his own party. Now Glenn Greenwald's been censored by The Intercept. There's a war on truth-tellers & you could be next. “First they came for Assange and I said nothing...” https://twitter.com/...
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: “But the pathologies, illiberalism, and repressive mentality that led to the bizarre spectacle of my being censored by my own media outlet are ones that are not unique to The Intercept.” I'll be doing my journalism at Substack for now. Subscribe here: https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: Read @mtaibbi's new article, with lots of new facts, about the Intercept and the repression taking place at unprecedented levels in numerous major newsrooms right now. https://taibbi.substack.com/ ... He is absolutely right about this; it's a crisis and a scandal. And dangerous: https://twitter.com/...
Ben Rhodes / @brhodes: One of many things that Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald have in common is a relentless insistence that they are somehow victims, even as they have enormous platforms which they use to dishonestly attack others. https://twitter.com/...
Karen Finney / @finneyk: Having been the subject of baseless biased attacks from greenwald I have to ask @betsyreed2 and @ryangrim are you truly just realizing this now? You provided a platform for him to unfairly attack people. https://twitter.com/...
Matt Taibbi / Reporting: Glenn Greenwald On His Resignation From The Intercept
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: I won't do a tit-for-tat with The Intercept. I get that need to defend themselves. But just note: 1) Ask Betsy Reed why they won't publish an accounting of what happened with Reality Winner & who that cover-up is protecting. 2) “Great journalism” that nobody reads isn't great.
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: I should finally add here two things: 1) None of this conflict has anything to do with @TheInterceptBr, whose journalism I continue to have the highest regard for and hope it remains supported 2) @jeremyscahill is in the same position as I: not part of these decisions at all.
Charlie Nash / Mediaite: NEW: Glenn Greenwald Resigns From The Intercept With Scorched Earth Letter Accusing Editors of Censoring His Article on Joe Biden
Elizabeth Spiers / @espiers: I say this as a former editor who had to run things by lawyers: making an ethically and legally sound decision not to publish disinformation is not censorship by your editor.
Joseph Cox / @josephfcox: Greenwald once made $500,000 a year for barely blogging https://twitter.com/...
Gabe Rivera / @gaberivera: Humble suggestion: Substack should distribute a different 1% of Greenwald's unpublished Snowden docs to each of the top 100 Substack writers. https://twitter.com/...

Lara Logan / @laralogan: Bravo to Glenn Greenwald for his courage in standing up for what journalism is supposed to be.Without those committed to the standards/principles that protect a free press &shield the first amendment from totalitarian tactics like censorship, we're nothing https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Jimmy / @jimmysecuk: He absolutely isn't principled. He has no principles. Zero. None. Nada. They do not exist. If he ever had principles, they are no longer there. They've departed. His principles have left the building. https://twitter.com/...
@therealhoarse: My Resignation From The Jelly Of The Month Club.

Dorian Lynskey / @dorianlynskey: In a year when so many journalists have seen their livelihoods disappear, it is hard to look kindly on the bombastic rage-quitting of another well-paid narcissist.

Joshua Caplan / Breitbart: Glenn Greenwald Resigns from The Intercept, Claims Editors Refused to Publish Biden Criticisms
Chris Hayes / @chrislhayes: If Hitchens had lived he'd be making a $1 million dollars a year on substack writing exclusively about woke mobs and why the US must got to war with China.
@adamlehrer: I'm not going to suggest anyone should leave behind a salary they need, but for the few talented and principled journos left at the Intercept (Lee, Scahill), a mass walk out would be a beautiful show of force against the joke that this company has become https://twitter.com/...
David Frum / @davidfrum: Wanted: smart, non-polemical assessment of emergence of Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Glenn Greenwald, Donald Trump Jr., Matt Taibbi, the Federalist group of writers etc. as a coherent and cohesive faction in American politics. They share more than just the same dislikes.
Erick Erickson / @ewerickson: Oliver is right. This looks more like a temper tantrum or a way to get a jump on substack subscriptions. https://twitter.com/...
Will Chamberlain / @willchamberlain: Are you illiterate? The editors' objections were *already accounted for in the draft.* @ggreenwald correctly identified the objections as a facade. This isn't a copy-edit: The Intercept's editors demanded a restructuring of the piece for pretextual reasons. https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: @ggreenwald says he is quitting The Intercept, an outlet he co-founded, because editors “censored” an article he wrote about Joe Biden. Greenwald says he will be publishing now on Substack. https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...

Zachary Evans / National Review: The Intercept Co-Founder Glenn Greenwald Resigns, Alleging ‘Censorship’ of Views ‘Critical’ of Joe Biden
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: “The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept's editors censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.”

Ben Domenech / @bdomenech: In an era of corporate media corruption, the voices of rebellion against the dominant narrative are increasingly striking out on their own. Glenn is the latest and he won't be the last. https://twitter.com/...
David Klion / @davidklion: The real crisis in media is that publications are too tolerant of dissenting viewpoints, forcing staffers who are wrong about everything to resign in a fit of pique in order to achieve their desired martyrdom.
@onekade: this is the funniest sentence wow. everyone who posted “they edited me, which is basically murder” was too right https://twitter.com/...
@unburntwitch: Ah, a hack refuses to be edited so that he can graduate to not being read at all https://twitter.com/...
Joe Gabriel Simonson / @sayssimonson: Agreed. Seems like a totally appropriate series of questions and analysis on blatant media hypocrisy here. Always happy to see bipartisan engagement with matters of high political important. As always, I'll shamelessly plug the work @JerryDunleavy and I have done on this topic. https://twitter.com/...
Kurt Andersen / @kbandersen: Pro tip: if you're a writer, at least use accurate language in your self-dramatizing, self-righteous huff — 𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘵𝘴 that prevent or interfere with free speech are guilty of “repression and censorship,” but not editors of a news organization when they edit.
Drew / @imnotowned: “Self deports.” Amazing that Glenn and Bari both pulled the same move, they voluntarily quit their cushy jobs and try to cry victim as if they were unjustly fired/cancelled. Voluntarily quitting isn't being cancelled. https://twitter.com/...
Joseph Cox / @josephfcox: i have no idea what the intercept pays, but will say that, generally speaking, a media outlet could hire like 7 or 8 journos who will probably do exponentially more work than greenwald with that. its totally insane.

Except for the part about the Ukrainian judge (a story I simply haven't followed closely), I can't find virtually any fault with it. I'm shocked they wouldn't allow this. https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...

Katie Robertson / @katie_robertson: Resigning from The Intercept, @ggreenwald tells me his arrangement with The Intercept “since it began is my opinion pieces are not edited by anyone” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Gregg Carlstrom / @glcarlstrom: Do I even want to try and find out why y'all are subtweeting The Intercept
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: The coming moderation controversaries around @SubstackInc will be fascinating due to: 1) Their explicit goal of supporting free expression 2) Their function as a direct financial intermediary 3) Tech-critical journalists likely having empathy for the rights of other journos
Bari Weiss / @bariweiss: Wow. @ggreenwald self-deports from publication he founded with a must-read resignation letter that also is an autopsy of @theintercept and so much of American journalism. Say what you want about Glenn's views. No one can say he isn't principled. https://twitter.com/...
C. August Elliott / @caugustelliott: With Greenwald's salary now off the books, @theintercept should be able to hire 6-8 new reporters. That's a substantial boon to American investigative journalism. https://twitter.com/...
Sohrab Ahmari / @sohrabahmari: Glenn: I can't overstate how much I admire your integrity and intellectual independence. We'd be honored to have you contribute op-ed columns to The Post on any theme you wish. https://twitter.com/...

@sjgrunewald: I say it every day, Bari. It's super easy. Glenn Greenwald is a fascist chaos agent and has no principles or integrity or ethics. See? Super easy. Also fvck you for just being you. https://twitter.com/...
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: DAMN!

Joe Pompeo / Vanity Fair: “It's a Head Fake”: Anonymous's Big Reveal Calls New York Times' Sourcing Into Question
Erik Wemple / @erikwemple: A CNN spox just told me that Miles Taylor will remain a contributor despite lying to Anderson Cooper. CNN cannot have it both ways — slamming Trump for his lies, yet condoning a very big and blatant one by its own contributor.
Miles Taylor / @milestaylorusa: Donald Trump is a man without character. It's why I wrote “A Warning”...and it's why me & my colleagues have spoken out against him (in our own names) for months. It's time for everyone to step out of the shadows. My statement: https://milestaylor.medium.com/ ...

Donald J. Trump / @realdonaldtrump: Who is Miles Taylor? Said he was “anonymous”, but I don't know him - never even heard of him. Just another @nytimes SCAM - he worked in conjunction with them.

But the rank & file in Mountain View balked. So now he's “on leave” getting a 2nd bite of the apple as a resistance grifter. 🙄 https://twitter.com/...
Tristan Justice / The Federalist: With CNN Contract, Another ‘Resistance’ Leaker Cashed In On Anti-Trump Vendetta
Alexios / @mantzarlis: “When reached by a reporter via email, the former DHS official directed them instead to contact his agents with United Talent Agency, a Los Angeles-based firm that recently signed Paris Hilton.” https://www.buzzfeed.com/...
Ryan Mac / @rmac18: We took a deep look at Miles Taylor — his history within Trump's DHS, time at Google, and conflicting past statements. He's a complicated figured who has contradicted himself many times over. Now those contradictions are in the open for all to see. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...
Mark Meadows / @markmeadows: Laughable as the “Miles Taylor Anonymous” episode is, it's every bit as damaging to the media. The New York Times amplified a no-name agency deputy with no access to President Trump and misled Americans into thinking he was an influential senior official. Absolutely ridiculous.
@daveweigel: How long does that contract last? If Trump doesn't win next week, do people want to hear, like, his take on potential Biden nominees for DHS? I bet they don't! https://twitter.com/...
@slpng_giants: Lots of people have gotten angry with us for pointing this out. Just because this person is voting how you'd like doesn't mean he didn't play a key role in separating children as young as infants from their parents. It's despicable no matter what your politics are. https://twitter.com/...

@nytopinion: Two years ago, we ran an Op-Ed by an anonymous senior official in the Trump administration. We invited readers to ask us about our vetting process and our thinking behind publishing the essay. These were our responses to key questions. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@joyannreid: Now especially notable that this “anonymous” op-ed made no mention among Trump's abrogations, of the morally depraved policies toward migrant men, women and children, the Muslim ban, or the near-ban on admitting refugees. Family separations began in 2017. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Yashar Ali / @yashar: James Bennet, the editor who made the decision, is no longer at the NYT after resigning this summer. https://twitter.com/...
Josh Kraushaar / @hotlinejosh: He's now rejecting the main thesis of his original WaPo “Anonymous” column https://twitter.com/...
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: After NYT published the “Anonymous” op-ed, the edit page explained when they've done this before. The other examples - a Salvadoran asylum seeker, a Syrian refugee, a man fearing ISIS retribution — are of an entirely different caliber than @MilesTaylorUSA https://twitter.com/...
Erik Wemple / @erikwemple: What really bothers me about this “Anonymous” situation is that this guy is trying to say *it's not about me* — it's about the arguments! But this whole reveal charade undercuts that noble pretension. Again, @CarlosLozadaWP nailed this point: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: Anyway, I have several things I'd like to say anonymously to 3.9 million NYT subscribers.

Steve Kovach / @stevekovach: Tech angle: Taylor works for Google. Took a leave earlier this year to campaign for Biden. Google employees were upset with Taylor's hire because he worked on DHS's family separation policy. https://www.cnbc.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Jim Waterson / @jimwaterson: New BBC social media rules explicitly ban their journalists from criticising fellow BBC journalists on Twitter. Which would be an interesting policy to see implemented across the industry.
Jim Waterson / @jimwaterson: Other things explicitly banned: -"Virtue signalling" that indicates a personal view even for “worthy causes” -Bio disclaimers saying “my views not the BBC's” -Revealing how you vote -Putting your “personal brand” on Twitter ahead of the BBC's reputation
Naman Ramachandran / Variety: BBC Bans ‘Controversial’ Personal Opinions by Staff on Social Media as Part of Impartiality Guidelines

Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: New rules also explicitly ban disclaimers in your bio saying “my views not the BBC's.” You can't say that any longer. (In other words, your views ARE seen as the BBC's by the Corporation's enemies...) https://twitter.com/...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: From the BBC: “f) Do not offer judgements beyond your specialism.” Do not show yourself to be a well-rounded human being with many interests.
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: The BBC: “j) Do not break news on a personal account; if you have a story to break, the BBC platforms are your priority, even if it takes slightly longer.” Informing the public is a lower priority than filling the air.
@pressgazette: New BBC social media guidelines published, inc: - Ban on ‘virtue signalling... no matter how apparently worthy the cause’ - Journalists must use all personal accounts as if they are BBC output - No more breaking stories on personal accounts - No criticising colleagues
Kieran Hurley / @kieran_hurley: I know there's other bigger news today but that the BBC has adopted and legitimised the phrase “virtue signalling” by using it in its new social media guideline rules (banning it no less) is extremely grim imo https://twitter.com/...
Matt Navarra / @mattnavarra: BBC issues staff with new social media guidance https://www.bbc.co.uk/... H/T to @sambrook who led the independent review of how the BBC uses social media
@markpack: The BBC face a similar challenge to the one political parties face. Having all your internal disagreements played out in public and via the anger-raising medium of social media is a path to failure. But the answer isn't to silence all public disagreement on social media.
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: The BBC: “g) Do not support campaigns, (eg. by using hashtags) no matter how apparently worthy the cause or how much their message appears to be accepted or uncontroversial.” How about hashtag campaigns to free imprisoned journalists, for example? #FreeAustinTice
Hubie Hannahween / @goodjobliz: very cool and normal https://twitter.com/...

Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: From the BBC: “l) Do use separate posts on public issues rather than join threads started by others.” I read this as: Do not join the public conversation. Call your own. This cuts off the opportunity to add journalism to that conversation.
Simon Blackwell / @simonblackwell: Shades of the 1948 Green Book about these new BBC social media guidelines. https://twitter.com/...
Rachel Coldicutt / @rachelcoldicutt: Over the years, many organisations have ended up re-using BBC digital guidelines (the BBC digital Ts&Cs are an often under-rated public service in their own right).

Zev Shalev / @zevshalev: This is a genuine crisis in journalism. If journalists cannot fully share analysis and opinion, we'll miss the next big story. More troubling, this policy effectively censors some of the better informed (by virtue of their jobs) people around. https://twitter.com/...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: BBC: “Following social media accounts which reflect only one point of view on matters of public policy, politics or ‘controversial subjects’ may create a similar impression.” Following these accounts is part of *reporting* and *listening.* That is or was a journalist's job.
