My Resignation From The Intercept

The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own articles.

"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."

"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:

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.

3) Given their claims, I'm going to publish -- along with the censored article -- the emails about it so people can decide for themselves if it was censored.

4) I understand TI's editors will slam my journalism as "changed"; I wish they had had the courage to do it before today.

5) Like I said in my statement, The Intercept does still have some great journalists and publishes good things. I hope they can figure out how to induce some people to read it.

6) This is the CIA-mimicking paragraph I referenced that I was shocked to see at The Intercept:

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:

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:

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.

Anyone trying to reach me: my previous email has been terminated.

I’ll be on Fox at the top of the 8pm ET hour to talk about the events of today, my departure from the Intercept, the article about the Bidens that was censored, and what it reflects about broader media culture and the election.
