My Resignation from the Intercept
Glenn had a 3 hour long conversation on a podcast a few days ago where he laid out the problem really well:<p>Journalists have essentially become socialites.  They don&#x27;t want to publish articles that will rock the boat, because the people they are friends with are the ones that own that boat, invite them to parties, and are a part of their friend groups.<p>The reporting around this story has been absolutely <i>unbelievable</i> to me.  This story seems like the type of thing that would normally make peoples&#x27; entire journalistic career, and yet the journalists, the people who are supposed to be a part of our protection and sense-making system are actively trying to suppress it.<p>It&#x27;s actually surreal to see this happening.
