Ben Smith / @benyt: Big chunk of the top of Substack is very in sync w where Greenwald is. https://twitter.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/...
@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/...
Kerry Flynn / CNN: Glenn Greenwald is quitting The Intercept, claiming editors ‘censored’ his article about Joe Biden
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/ ...
Jacob Silverman / New Republic: Glenn Greenwald Throws a Fit
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.
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.
Michael Barbaro / @mikiebarb: “He believes that anyone who disagrees with him is corrupt....and anyone who presumes to edit his words is a censor.” https://twitter.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/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: These emails seem to show thoughtful editors trying to responsibly publish this piece and you going nuclear and immediately accusing them of censorship? https://twitter.com/...
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.
Molly Jong-Fast / @mollyjongfast: The intercept comes off pretty damn good here. Also editors are good. https://twitter.com/...
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/...
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/...
Ashley Feinberg / @ashleyfeinberg: pulling out increasingly larger magnifying glasses trying to find the damning part 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/...
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: Here's the article that I wrote about Joe Biden's conduct in Ukraine & China, based on Hunter's emails and other witness testimony, along with a critique of media lies designed to protect the Democratic candidate, which The Intercept refused to publish: https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Noam Blum / @neontaster: Subo Stack House https://twitter.com/...
Robby Soave / @robbysoave: UPDATE: I've just read the article @ggreenwald says @theintercept wouldn't publish. 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/ ...
Mike Masnick / @mmasnick: This response from the publishers to Glenn quitting The Intercept is straight 🔥🔥🔥 https://twitter.com/... 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/...
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.
Mike Elk / @mikeelk: Man the photo editor at the New York Times today - just brutal! https://www.nytimes.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/...
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
Elie Mystal / @elienyc: God DAMN: “all of them designed to make him appear a victim, rather than a grown person throwing a tantrum.” ... “We have the greatest respect for the journalist Glenn Greenwald used to be.” Ain't this a full read. https://twitter.com/...
Ari Fleischer / @arifleischer: I disagree with Glenn a lot, but I have always been impressed by his willingness to stand on his principles. The MSM as a fair and impartial news source is collapsing around us. His story is a good example how and why. https://twitter.com/...
Will Oremus / @willoremus: “We have the greatest respect for the journalist Glenn Greenwald used to be” is a burn for the ages 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/...
Peter Spiegel / @spiegelpeter: If the @PulitzerPrizes ever decide to create a “Best Editor's Note” category, this has got to be an early front-runner. https://twitter.com/...
@onekade: this is the funniest sentence wow. everyone who posted “they edited me, which is basically murder” was too right https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Feinberg / @andrewfeinberg: Wow, @theintercept does not hold back re @ggreenwald: “The narrative Glenn presents about his departure is teeming with distortions and inaccuracies — all of them designed to make him appear as a victim, rather than a grown person throwing a tantrum.” https://theintercept.com/...
@medialens: ‘Glenn demands the absolute right to determine what he will publish.’ As a journalist with his record absolutely should. This is a horrible response from The Intercept. Unfollowing. https://twitter.com/...

Garrett M. Graff / @vermontgmg: Every paragraph of this is brutal in new and creative ways. Holy moly. https://twitter.com/...
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: DAMN!

@therealhoarse: My Resignation From The Jelly Of The Month Club. The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the jelly community generally have engulfed the subscription-based jam cooperative I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own storied preserves. https://twitter.com/...
@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/...
Yung Fred / @waywardwinifred: I'll def subscribe to Glenn's substack. I love to read. https://twitter.com/...
Lee Fang / @lhfang: Glenn Greenwald is the most principled person in media today. https://greenwald.substack.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.
@leahmcelrath: LOL. And LIRL at, “No one can say he isn't principled.” Yes, yes we can, Bari. I actually never thought about how similar you two are, but this totally tracks now that I am thinking about it. https://twitter.com/...
Laura Bassett / @lebassett: I think there's an important distinction between being principled and being a contrarian for the sake of attention, and Glenn crossed that line at some point. https://twitter.com/...
Joanne Lipman / @joannelipman: Just as much an indictment of Media Twitter: “online enforcement mobs” of “center left Twitter luminaries” that the Intercept has “a deep fear of offending.” @ggreenwald https://greenwald.substack.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.
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.
Jake Swearingen / @jakeswearingen: my 4000-word resignation letter is proof positive i do not require editors anymore
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.”
Ashley Feinberg / @ashleyfeinberg: one more and we've got a trend baby let's go 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/...
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/...
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/...
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/...
Sarah Emerson / @sarahnemerson: Never self-deport or else you won't qualify for the deportation severance package https://twitter.com/...
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/...
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/...
Tom Gara / @tomgara: Just realized that if he's ever released from prison, Julian Assange is going to have an amazing newsletter
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.
Rat King / @mikeisaac: im about to “self-lobotomize”
Dan Seifert / @dcseifert: you don't actually have to read the rambling words of the whiny man claiming to be censored and rage quitting over it
Gregg Carlstrom / @glcarlstrom: Do I even want to try and find out why y'all are subtweeting The Intercept
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.
Joseph Cox / @josephfcox: Greenwald once made $500,000 a year for barely blogging https://twitter.com/...
Matt Taibbi / @mtaibbi: I will have more on this on Substack soon. https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...

Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: Emails With Intercept Editors Showing Censorship of My Joe and Hunter Biden Article There's no reason for anyone to have to decide who to believe. Feel free to see for yourselves what really happened: https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Paris Martineau / @parismartineau: “none of my articles is edited” https://greenwald.substack.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Katie Halper / @kthalps: I sincerely don't understand what my fellow lefties, even the ones who object to Greenwald's appearances on Tucker Carlson, think he did wrong here. Can you articulate it? Here's @mtaibbi's piece, which documents the exchange between GG & TI. https://taibbi.substack.com/ ...
Christopher Miller / @christopherjm: This piece is unreadable and nuts and filled with inaccuracies. Greenwald citing Taibbi citing Vogel on Ukraine and Shokin and Burisma is 🤯🤣. None of these guys are well sourced in Ukraine, they've inaccurately reported on the country and fueled right-wing conspiracy theories. https://twitter.com/...
@taber: facing accusations that he was just throwing a gigantic fucking hissy fit, Greenwald boldly chooses to prove it beyond all doubt, and additionally instill in writers a sense of awe at what kind of excellent guidance you can get from a really sensational editor if you're Important https://twitter.com/...
Delian / @zebulgar: can you imagine telling @hamishmckenzie a few years ago that substack would be national news because one of america's most prominent journalists left the media org they founded... so they could join substack?? and publish their take on the biden emails??? wowieeee wowieeee https://twitter.com/...
Laura Bassett / @lebassett: This is a self-own. All the emails show is impressive editorial rigor. The editor is worried Greenwald's claims aren't factual, as he hasn't backed them up. https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Prokop / @awprokop: Greenwald's editor: Hey, keep in mind that Tony Bobulinski was Trump's debate guest Greenwald: I saw Bobulinski on Tucker and have concluded he's “inherently credible” (Not mentioned: Bobulinski reportedly worked with Trump's team for weeks beforehand) https://greenwald.substack.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Parker Molloy / @parkermolloy: This is all very good, thorough feedback. It's a good thing when editors ask questions and point out inconvenient facts. https://greenwald.substack.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Mike Masnick / @mmasnick: Um. Those seem to show some pretty decent editing, in that your editors asked you to fix some problems in your piece that you did not support with much evidence, and then you losing it over some good suggestions? Is this really the stand you wanted to take? https://twitter.com/...
Molly Jong-Fast / @mollyjongfast: I have been friends with @maassp for years. He's a mensch. https://twitter.com/...
@edburmila: I am just embarrassed for him, choosing Tony Bobulinski as the hill to die on. https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Hunter Walker / @hunterw: It also seems pretty clear based on the materials Glenn Greenwald put online that his editors were not actually asking him to remove all materials relating to Joe Biden as he has alleged https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Stacy Lee Kong / @stacyleekong: Imagine your editor sends you a super specific and detailed edit note explaining just how badly you argued your thesis and then you post it for everyone to see 🤯 https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
David Klion / @davidklion: I cannot imagine anyone who has ever worked as an editor reading this exchange and thinking Glenn is the victim here https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...
Matt Novak / @paleofuture: what if glenn got hit by that secret cia microwave thing and it scrambled his brain tho https://twitter.com/...
Glenn Beck / @glennbeck: Another journalist censored.

Alexa O'Brien / @alexadobrien: I can't find the tweet now (I read it earlier, & looked and looked), but I support the sentiment that if Pulitzer were given for editor's note, this one surely deserves the prize. https://theintercept.com/...
Jack Crosbie / @jscros: Emails With My Very Patient and Professional Editors That Show They, Not Me, Are Cowardly Propagandists With No Moral Values
Evan Hill / @evanchill: These emails show an extremely generous editor trying to ensure his publication adheres to the facts and a mission of informing the public and a writer whose primary goal seems to be neither https://greenwald.substack.com/ ...

CNN contributor and former DHS COS Miles Taylor reveals he is Anonymous, the senior Trump admin official who wrote a NYT column in 2018 and book in 2019 — Mr. Taylor, whose criticisms of President Trump in a New York Times Op-Ed article and subsequent book roiled Washington and infuriated Mr. Trump …

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.

Jacob Soboroff / @jacobsoboroff: Miles Taylor was a critical part of the team that decided to separated thousands of migrant kids from their parents, resulting in lifelong psychological trauma. He would like you to believe otherwise.
Victoria Coates / @victoriacoates: Are you going to publish a retraction of this embarrassment? https://twitter.com/...

He has been everywhere on this career rehabilitation tour and has publicly lied to Americans. How can we believe anything he tells us now? https://twitter.com/...
Byron York / @byronyork: Important to note that Miles Taylor was not DHS chief of staff on September 5, 2018, when he published ‘Anonymous’ op-ed in NYT. He was a DHS policy adviser, which NYT characterized as a ‘senior official in the Trump administration.’
Julin Castro / @juliancastro: Miles Taylor helped spin the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents. How many of those parents were offered media contributorships? https://twitter.com/...

Erika Andiola / @erikaandiola: I “stepped out of the shadows” 11 year ago. Unfortunately people like you have tried to deport me and my family for doing so. Miles, you can't put all your evil actions behind just like that. You were part of a group who consciously decided to separate kids from their parents. https://twitter.com/...
Luther Lowe / @lutherlowe: So Google employee Miles Taylor is Anonymous. This guy helped cage kids at DHS so Google hired him as a Hail Mary to beef up their Trump World access.

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.

@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/...

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/ ...
