I'm not convinced that's true. He didn't refer to any specific institutions or subsets of journalists in the quotes I included. Even assuming that he meant to, the examples he cites are CNN, NBC, NYT and WaPo. He also accused editors at The Intercept of censoring him over Hunter Biden stories. That's already a very large group of people to generalize. He clearly views himself and a handful of others as outsiders, in a crusade against a journalistic profession that he views has wholly corrupted by corporate interests. |

On the other hand, it's not that large a number of entities. And the people who work there are constrained by their employers in particular ways, and choose to remain. Here's the article Greenwald quit The Intercept over:

To the best of my knowledge nothing in it is untruthful. The Intercept demonstrably wouldn't publish it. Which of the other institutions listed do you expect would have? Is there an instance of any of them publishing anything substantively equivalent before the election?
He quotes the NYT there in several places but the articles the quotes are from are minimizing the story and even then the authors became the targets of attack for even discussing it.
