> Wait! Before you go on about your day, ask yourself: How likely is it that the story you just read would have been produced by a different news outlet if The Intercept hadn’t done it?

Gotta say this article goes above and beyond to document what happens in these pointless permawars used to justify (U.S) military spending.

They just censored Greenwald so much he quit so .. funny that
Let’s put the validity of what Greenwald wanted to publish aside for a second. The relationship between an editor and a writer is always one of mutual cooperation and agreement. Not that the editor always must agree with what the author writes, but that there is mutual agreement over the standards of what is being published.

Greenwald and the intercept reached an irresolvable position regarding publishing standards, so they went their separate ways. Greenwald now publishes elsewhere.

You seem to be implying a publication exercising their editorial privilege is proof that they lack integrity. Maybe the intercept is in fact a corrupt publication, but that depends entirely on your judgement of their decision not to publish what Greenwald wanted to publish.
