The Intercept founding editor claims journalists working with 'FBI, CIA and the NSA ... to manipulate the American people'
The Intercept founding editor Glenn Greenwald accussed the mainstream media Monday of "blatant rank-closing and [implementing a] cone of silence" around last week's New York Post bombshell reports detailing Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings.
"I don't think that the emails -- so far -- reveal a huge scandal," Greenwald wrote on Twitter.
"They so far just establish standard sleaze and DC [sic] corruption. The huge scandal to me is the blatant rank-closing and cone of silence -- a prohibition -- erected *by journalists* around this story to defend Biden."
Mainstream reporters have gone into overdriveto dismiss emails purportedly linking the 2020 Democratic nominee to his son's interests, with some outlets simply ignoring the story and others doing their best to cast the information as dubious.
Greenwald challenged journalists "to say with a straight face they believe the emails relating to the Bidens are either fabricated or otherwise fraudulently altered," underscoring the fact that "the Bidens just aren't saying so. "
"There has to be some limits to your willingness to go to bat for them," he wrote.
