Agradeço muito essa ótima entrevista com @AttuchLeonardo e @TerezaCruvinel. Discutimos todas as questões sobre minha renúncia do The Intercept, as eleições de 2020, a política no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos e, acima de tudo, o papel do jornalismo.

Quero postar 3 partes onde respondo: por que você publicaria informações incriminatórias sobre Biden? Isso significa que você quer que Trump vença? Parte I:
Parte II -- sobre a obrigação suprema das jornalistas:
Parte III: por que qualquer um que acredita na democracia não deve querer que os jornalistas revelem informações seletivamente, mas sim exigir que os jornalistas revelem informações relevantes que o público tem o direito de saber, independentemente de quem ajude ou prejudique:

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.

greenwald.substack.com/p/my-resignati…
"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."

Social media popularity and viral clout is such a powerful drug — it’s literally a drug: it’s constructed that way — that some people will say and do absolutely anything to obtain the next hit.

I mean just look at this. What else could drive someone to do something like this???
Navarro evidently ultimately said she was voting for Clinton but she used the airwaves to legitimize frivolous write-in votes for saying on CNN that she would vote for her mom:
This is what @ananavarro was saying one month before the 2016 election. Now she’s acting like those who followed her advice are the root of all evil:

This is Vladimir Herzog, a Jewish immigrant to Brazil who fled anti-Semitism in Croatia during WW2 & became a prominent journalist. 45 years ago today, he was murdered by the US/UK-supported military regime, which then released a fabricated photo to claim he committed suicide. 
The military regime that murdered Herzog came to power when CIA worked with right-wing Brazilian generals to overthrow the democratically elected President in 1964. They ruled for 21 years, torturing & killing many dissidents, including Herzog. @dilmabr was one of those tortured.
It was Herzog’s rabbi who bravely blew the whistle by quickly obtaining his body & revealing that he had been tortured to death during interrogation. That was a key spark that led Brazilians to rise up against the US/UK-supported dictatorship & force re-democratization in 1985.

One of the clearest and most important sentences you'll read, showing how US media really works, from WashPost op-ed by @RidT:

** "We must treat the Hunter Biden leaks as if they were a foreign intelligence operation — even if they probably aren't." **

washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/1…
This is absolutely how mainstream US outlets think: exactly what is said there by Rid (one of those centrist Professor outlets use to elevate their unhinged conspiracy theories with a facade of expertise):

*We have no idea if this conspiracy is true, but we will say it anyway.* Image
There is no question -- none -- that mainstream US news outlets disseminate more unhinged, unproven conspiracy theories -- and do far more damage with them -- than QAnon, or whichever fringe group they want you to focus on, can achieve in 1,000 years.

Even with Trump gone, Dems and their media outlets are going to keep centering/inflating the threat of Fascism and Right-Wing Domestic Terrorism because that's what keeps everyone in line behind the Dems: we can't fight neoliberalism or imperialism until we've vanquished fascism!
The Democratic Party and its media outlets - MSNBC, CNN, WPost/NYT - are drowning in cash. The key is to keep fear levels high: they keep everyone scared about a fascist takeover & present themselves as the only protectors. It's a model of profit and power that is not going away.
Huge swaths of US liberalism & even the left got convinced over 4 years that institutions like CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. - and neocons/right-wing operatives like David Frum, Bill Kristol, Rick Wilson - might not be perfect but they at least oppose fascism & care about democracy (lol).

Julian Assange has been imprisoned in the UK for 1 1/2 years because US Govt wants to prosecute him for publishing docs exposing war crimes. Convicted of nothing, he has no chance of freedom any time soon: even if he wins, US Govt will appeal & he'll remain imprisoned for years. Image
The attempted extradition of Assange -- pushed by Pompeo & Jeff Sessions -- is the greatest threat to US press freedoms in years. His -- and Snowden's -- only chance for freedom is a Trump pardon. People forget how repressive & malicious Dems are with whistleblowers. Watch, 2014:
In 2013, even the Obama DOJ -- which prosecuted more whistleblowers for espionage than all previous administrations *combined* -- concluded Assange couldn't be prosecuted without destroying press freedom. But Pompeo & Sessions don't care about that.
