Glenn Greenwald quits The Intercept

He has his limits apparently. I'm familiar with his exchanges with Harris. I think it's fair to characterise this as a person with an overton window pretty far left, confronting a culture whose window is further left.
Education is extremely important.

Yeah, dive into his exchanges with Sam Harris then tell me he's intellectually honest.
I haven't listened to Harris, so I'll take your word for that.
In the interest of my laziness, care to elaborate?
Serious question. Thanks.

Has there been a time when the MSM was less intellectually curious or willing to say anything negative about a Presidential candidate?
Challenge: disprove the allegation that the MSM is actively helping the Biden campaign and is free marketing.

Fox is MSM, too.
Prove me wrong.
I was only joking

Prove me wrong.Not disputing your comment, at all.
But it raises an interesting question: What, today, is the "mainstream media?"
30 years ago, it was one of 3 networks, with the brash CNN being the outlier. Today, everyone claims to be the "brash outlier."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

It doesn't matter how lefty or intellectually honest or dishonest he is. Read the emails, they're amazing.
They have a long back and forth about the credibility of his reporting, but after, he tells them basically that if they don't take his story, he'll go somewhere else with it, and he reminds them all of his contractual right to do so.
This is the response he received:
It would be unfortunate and detrimental to The Intercept for this story to be published elsewhere.
If this is an argument about quality reporting, why say this? Just what the hell is this supposed to mean in the context of his source material?

If a shit-ton of people watch a channel, it's mainstream. Murdoch's global organisation is not an alternative news source for radicals. The only time FoxNews viewers use the term 'hip' is when they're having one replaced.
The term 'Mainstream' has been hijacked to imply it means something other than it does.
