News Censorship: A Top Investigative Journalist Not Allowed to Speak the Truth

The great reporter Glenn Greenwald quit his job at Intercept because he was told that he couldn’t report six weeks ago how Joe Biden’s son Hunter was involved in what looked like obvious corruption.

The great reporter who broke the Edward Snowden NSA classified information story Glenn Greenwald quit his job at Intercept. He was told that he couldn’t report on Joe Biden’s son Hunter involvement in what looked like obvious corruption. The mainstream media’s claim was that everything concerning Biden’s son was “Russian disinformation”. 

Big tech, social media companies joined mainstream media in blocking this story and censored posts relating to this scandal. 

Greenwald is a reporter who determined years ago that he would be a non-partisan, investigative journalist willing to do everything in his power to protect his sources and present the truth to the public. 

Greenwald did this even to the extent of putting his life in jeopardy while he was protecting Snowden in a variety of foreign countries. If it weren’t for Greenwald we would have never known the vast extent to which the NSA is spying on Americans.

Greenwald maintains the highest of journalistic standards while the editor and publisher at The Intercept is not. The entire mainstream media silenced this story (including Twitter that wouldn’t allow the Washington Post, or even the White House to even link to the story).

Now when the facts are impossible to suppress the mainstream media is finally reporting on the Hunter Biden corruption story. 

This is a clear example of the new low that the media and big tech companies have reached in their willingness to support biased journalism over the facts and the truth. This represents their willingness to suppress information that doesn’t support their overall agenda.

Unfortunately, this is the mark of a failed state, where facts and truth cannot be disseminated to the public. If the main-stream media continues to go down this path, our democracy will be irreversibly eroded.

  • 5 Lesser-Known Utah State Parks Worth Discovering

    Utah’s five national parks often steal the spotlight, but the state’s lesser-known parks can offer something just as memorable, offering easier access, fewer crowds and a more personal connection to the landscape. 


  • The Utah Farm That Refuses to Give Up as Development Closes In

    Running a farm is hard enough, but rapid city growth makes it even tougher. More than a decade ago, the late Verl Cook faced a series of staggering hurdles that threatened to wipe out his family’s livelihood.

    First, the city decided to treat the Cook’s greenhouse — the most profitable part of the farm — like a big-box retail store. They demanded the family build a paved parking lot, a project that would cost $200,000.


  • Future Craft Farm Launches First CSA Season in Salt Lake City

    Hall and Scheig found their land last June and broke ground just two months later, transforming what was essentially a blank canvas into a diversified market garden. This year marks their first full growing season, and they’re launching it with a community supported agriculture program, or CSA. CSAs allow people to support local growers by purchasing a season’s worth of produce upfront, giving farmers the financial stability they need during the most expensive part of the year.


  • Why Utah Loves Dirty Soda: The Story Behind the State’s Sweetest Craze

    Why would a state known for avoiding coffee create one of America’s most successful beverage trends? Why would people willingly add cream and flavored syrups to drinks that already contain more than enough sugar?
