Small, independent journalism is the only real journalism left in America. We need to go out of our way to support it.

there's a sickness in journalism today. Glenn is among the handful immune. Stand with Glenn, folks.

"Journalism is publishing something that somebody else doesn't want published. Anything less is Public Relations." George Orwell

"I assume my readers already know all the reasons why Trump is horrible. I've written negatively about Trump before, I just don't think that it's a valuable use of my time or platform to just go around repeating what CNN and MSNBC and The New York Times op-ed page are all already saying. What good does that do, except win the applause? I want to bring attention to some of the unseen trends that I think are really disturbing, that my readers would benefit from, rather than just having their views reinforced."
-- Glenn Greenwald

My sentiment exactly Mr. Greenwald. I don't need to be 'reinforced' with Corporate media's propaganda and myopic view of a world and planet, which they're helping to destroy!

The fact that it's major news, when a journalist shows integrity, probably says something about journalism in general.

[chelihawk]

Glenn Greenwald is one of a dieing breed. Honesty and Integrity

[jprd]

What a time it is when its noteworthy that a news journalist shows integrity.

[BbBB-yvvy]

This guy has been fearless of corrupted authorities.

[jumpinjohnnyruss]

My god. The establishment is really closing in.

[AdmiralQuality]

We're with you, Glenn. The Intercept by choosing to go the mainstream route have relegated themselves into irrelevance. Clearly they didn't value their own brand.

[Dumartins]

I do not understand why to condemn Glenn for doing his job, he is being sincere about his convictions and his work as a journalist as he always was, Sanders was the best candidate for the Democratic Party, you chose Biden, the mistake was yours, not his, don't blame the messenger.

[SpiraSpiraSpira]

The entire reason Glenn founded The Intercept was The Guardian was stifling his Snowden reporting.

[ilyasilsurgut]

Glenn is a legend of journalism, it's sad to see The Intercept trying to quash independent reporting and stick instead to party lines

[MikesterMF]

Bravo Glen. We need more people that make stands for their principles. Even if we disagree.

[eakherenow]

Glenn Greenwald is someone historically honest, deeply responsible, meticulous in research and professional.

[karengrice]

This situation underscores why we need to vote for alternative parties instead of Dem or Repub.. They are too corruption and are no longer serving any functional purpose. It is time for new parties to rise. The only way to make it happen is to vote for them.

[Soothsayer-rsnb]

Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.

[jayt]

Why was he on fox? Well clearly CNN wouldn't want him to talk about this.

[dadbear]

The Hill, perhaps you haven’t noticed one of the best, honest and fair journalists is now free
