Glenn Greenwald, an American journalist and founder and editor of The Intercept, attends a hearing before the House Human Rights Committee in Brasilia, Brazil, June 25, 2019.
The former co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Intercept had resigned over objections to his colleagues’ censorship of Hunter Biden’s scandalous reporting. On Thursday (Dec. 10), he again pointed out that the mainstream media’s refusal to do relevant reporting ahead of the 2020 presidential election is a historic crime and a disgrace.
Glenn Greenwald, a former co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Intercept, is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. On Thursday, he appeared on Fox’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to weigh in on the damage caused by the media’s refusal to cover the Hunter Biden scandal during the election.
“We have to recognize that this is a historic crime, and it’s shameful, not only in the press, but after these (Hunter Biden) documents were kicked out, the intelligence community operatives, the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), John Brennan (former CIA director), James Clapper (former director of national intelligence), Michael Biden (former director of national intelligence), the CIA, the CIA, the CIA, the CIA, the CIA, the CIA, the CIA, the CIA, the CIA. Director of National Intelligence), Michael Hayden (former Director of the National Security Agency)-these groundbreaking professional liars have written to say that the material has the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, even though they have no reason to believe so.” Greenwald opens.
Greenwald continued, “This has allowed the media to continue to lie to the public and has given Silicon Valley the power to censor the material.”
The New York Post broke the Hunter computer-gate-related scandal in October, revealing many of Hunter’s “troubling” overseas operations, primarily in China, and bringing his father, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, into question as well. The mainstream media, including social media, have been tight-lipped and even blocked information about this explosive story.
“So not only did the public not know about it, they were lied to. — not only by claiming that Russia was involved, even though there is zero evidence of that, and no one thinks so, but also by calling it disinformation and implying that the documents were forged. Now we know that there is an ongoing criminal investigation into precisely the transactions covered by these documents in question.”
Hunter said in a statement Wednesday, “I learned for the first time yesterday, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware informed my legal counsel yesterday, that they are investigating my tax matters.” Sources familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that the tax investigation is at least partially related to Hunter’s operations in China.
“This is an incredible crime by the corporate media – lying to the public and covering up information before an election, but (it’s) also another domestic intervention by intelligence agencies to manipulate the outcome of our election.” Greenwald previously accused his colleagues of censoring articles reporting on the Biden family’s corruption. and resigned in October as a result.
Republican Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said the media’s suppression of the Hunt scandal without reporting it has caused serious interference in the election.
He said the so-called mainstream media’s influence and interference in the election has been far greater than “any Russian interference. A McClatchy poll showed that 36 percent of Biden voters had never heard of Hunter Biden because of (press) censorship and suppression,” he said. Of those, 13 percent said they would not have voted for Biden if they had known.”
Asked why he thought major media outlets were no longer reporting on the intelligence community with “some degree of skepticism,” Greenwald responded that the intelligence community was “working” with the media as part of an effort to stop Trump’s re-election.
Greenwald said, “If the media truly believes that President Trump (re-election) poses a danger, that’s their prerogative, but what they don’t have the right to do is to be purveyors of disinformation.” “And all of these people in the CIA and the intelligence community, they’ve said publicly that they want Donald Trump to lose and they want to sabotage his presidential re-election.”
Authorities have in fact been launching an investigation into Biden’s son since 2018, sources close to the investigation said. Investigators did not begin contacting Hunter Biden until recently because the Justice Department opposed making the investigation operation public before the election.
Greenwald continued, “Remember, Chuck Schumer told Rachel Maddow in early 2017 that the CIA would sabotage Trump’s presidential re-election if he continued to criticize them, and that’s been the story for the last four years. The intelligence agencies have teamed up with each other to feed lies to the media, and the media is foolishly repeating those lies for its own benefit.”
Following Hunter’s statement on Wednesday acknowledging his investigation, mainstream media outlets that previously labeled the New York Post’s coverage of the Biden family scandal as “baseless conspiracy theories,” “smear campaigns” and “Russian disinformation” began to “follow suit.
