Greenwald säger upp sig efter påstådd Bidencensur
Journalisten Glenn Greenwald har sagt upp sig från nyhetssajten The Intercept som han startade 2013 efter sitt stora avslöjande om läckorna från Edward Snowden. I sitt uppsägningsbrev anklagar han sina redaktörer för att ha censurerat en debattartikel han skrev om Joe Biden och hans son Hunter Biden tidigare i veckan.
Greenwald påstår att redaktörerna vägrade att publicera artikeln om han ”inte gick med på att ta bort alla stycken som var kritiska mot kandidaten som de vill ska vinna”.
Chefredaktören Betsy Reed säger i ett pressmeddelande att Greenwalds version av berättelsen är full av felaktigheter.
