He\u2019s faced down government harassment in Brazil, where he now lives and reports. So his thoughts on The Post\u2019s Hunter Biden scoops, and the reaction by other media outlets, are well worth considering. And they\u2019re damning.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday evening, he <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1318326587834630146\">made these points on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cIs there a single journalist willing to say with a straight face they believe the emails relating to the Bidens are either fabricated or otherwise fraudulently altered, but the Bidens just aren\u2019t saying so? There has to be some limits to your willingness to go to bat for them.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhen you report a huge archive, there\u2019s no way to prove the negative that none of it is altered. You investigate &amp; confirm as much as you can, then use your journalistic judgment. The only way you get confirmation is when the subjects of the reporting don\u2019t deny the authenticity.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhen we reported the Snowden archive, we knew it was genuine, but breathed a huge sigh of relief when NSA didn\u2019t claim the docs were fake. The same was true with our Brazil reporting over the last year: publishing private messages from corrupt Bolsonaro officials &amp; prosecutors.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAs a journalist publishing private communications &amp; docs that are incriminating, you know the subjects of the reporting will immediately claim they\u2019re fake *if the[y] are*. Of course they will: that would kill the reporting! There\u2019s a reason the Bidens aren\u2019t claiming they\u2019re fake.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI don\u2019t think that the emails \u2014 so far \u2014 reveal a huge scandal. They so far just establish standard sleaze and DC corruption. The huge scandal to me is the blatant rank-closing and cone of silence \u2014 a prohibition \u2014 erected *by journalists* around this story to defend Biden.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/glenn-greenwald-on-tucker-carlson-calls-adam-schiff-the-most-pathological-liar-in-all-of-american-politics\/\">On Tucker Carlson\u2019s Fox News show<\/a> that night, he elaborated:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cWhat makes it so much worse is that the reason the Bidens aren\u2019t answering basic questions about this story \u2014 basic questions like: Did Hunter Biden drop that laptop off at that repair shop? Are the emails authentic? Do you deny that they are? Do you claim any have been altered or any of them fabricated? Did you in fact meet with Burisma executives as these emails suggest? . . . The reason that they don\u2019t answer any questions is because the media has signaled that they don\u2019t have to. That journalists will be attacked and vilified simply for asking.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/20\/glenn-greenwald-calls-out-media-covering-for-biden-on-posts-hunter-stories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Glenn Greenwald calls out media covering for Biden on Post&#8217;s Hunter stories&#8221; Glenn Greenwald is an independent-minded man of the left \u2014 a Pulitzer-winning journalist who was the main conduit for Edward Snowden\u2019s leaks of US government secrets.
