My Resignation From The Intercept
The same trends of repression,
censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally
have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my
own articles.

Today I sent my intention to resign from The Intercept, the
news outlet I co-founded in 2013 with Jeremy Scahill and Laura Poitras, as well
as from its parent company First Look Media.
The final, precipitating cause is
that The Intercept’s editors, in violation of my contractual right of editorial
freedom, censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I
remove all sections critical of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden,
the candidate vehemently supported by all New-York-based Intercept editors
involved in this effort at suppression.
