Both he and the remaining editors gave vitriolic statements about each other, him accusing them of being partisan hacks protecting the Biden campaign, them accusing him of laundering the Trump campaign's dirt as journalism.
The editors also demanded that Greenwald not only be prohibited from publishing his column on their site, but demanded a contractual right to deny him from sending it to any other publisher. He then uploaded it to his own website:
https://greenwald.substack.com/p/article-on-joe-and-hunter-biden-censoredIt seems to be a pretty evenhanded account of the revelations so far, acknowledging both what we know and what we don't know. Its main conclusion is that Joe Biden needs to answer questions about the scandal: Whether he denies any of it, whether he had the meetings, what he knew about Burisma and CEFC. And it concludes with;
"As my colleague Lee Fang put it on Sunday: "The partisan double standards in the media are mind boggling this year, and much of the supposedly left independent media is just as cowardly and conformist as the mainstream corporate media. Everyone is reading the room and acting out of fear." Discussing his story from Sunday, Taibbi summed up the most important point this way: "The whole point is that the press loses its way when it cares more about who benefits from information than whether it's true.""
Man, Rudy really fucked this one up, didn't he? I think this might have had more legs if the laptop story (which is obviously bullshit) wasn't published first. I don't think it would have moved the needle but I think if they focused strictly on Bubolinksi (those emails appear validated by multiple outlets) and leaked emails from there, Biden wouldn't be able to ignore it as easily. The Biden campaign can just roll their eyes and say Rudy is so full of shit that we can't keep up with the next conspiracy.
