    It's not as simple as

    I haven't seen any bad articles.

    They aren't going to just flip a switch and go from writing good articles to bad articles. It's going to be more of, what articles do they not write?

    For all Glenn Greenwald's flaws, the thing that made him leave The Intercept was the pushback he got from all these people in the part of the organization that Ken talks about that don't do reporting but somehow keeps growing, that his stories were making Biden look bad and that it was helping Trump.

    That's classic behavior from Manufacturing Consent. Choosing to not publish stories or not cover certain topics.

    I think the same thing happened to Jeremy Scahill. His big interview with one of the top leaders in Hamas was part of Dropsite News' debut.

    The Intercept probably didn't want to run that article.
