Glenn Greenwald explains why he thinks most American media will not cover the Hunter Biden scandal.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been disgusted with my colleagues in my profession as I have been in the last three weeks because of this story,”… “In general, journalists do not care about where material comes from if it’s A, authentic, and B, newsworthy.”
“Sometimes you get great documents from sources who have terrible motives,” He continued.
“Like Deep Throat leaked about the Nixon administration to The Washington Post, not because he was a Snowden, not because he was noble, but because he was resentful that Nixon passed him over to be the director of the FBI.”
He claimed the argument that the revelations from Hunter Biden’s laptop “might have come from Russia” was a “complete corruption of the journalistic function.”
Greenwald added the real reason most news outlets won’t cover the story is because “they’re all desperate for Trump to lose.”
‘That’s the reality. They all want Biden to win,” he told Rogan. “They don’t want to be scorned in their social circles.
And so they’re willing to abdicate their journalistic function, which is reporting on one of the most powerful people in the world, and Joe Biden in part because they want to manipulate and tinker with the election using journalism, but a much bigger part because they’re scared of being yelled at on Twitter.
“It’s f*cking pathetic,” he concluded. “And it’s going to ruin people’s faith in journalism for a long time, even more so than it already is ruined for good reason.”
