Whitney Webb @_whitneywebb - Just want to follow up and let people that Glenn Greenwald apparently does not want to debate me, after smearing me on false claims on the back of Michael Tracey's attacks on my Jeffrey Epstein-related research.
I have reported only on the Intercept and its handling of the Snowden leaks and its mismanagement of past whistleblowers (as did many others!) and the only mention of Greenwald, despite his false claims, is a reference to his alleged role in the closure of the Snowden archives per his co-founder Laura Poitras and former Intercept writer Barrett Brown. I have never written anything about Greenwald beyond that, or written about his reporting on the Snowden files.
I tried multiple times to arrange a debate through his preferred moderator for said debate from last year into this year and no dice.

Hi @ggreenwald . I find it very inaccurate that you would claim that I "lied" about your "Snowden reporting" or really about you at all, as the articles and "theories" you are referring to are reports about the Intercept, how many of the whistleblowers who trusted the Intercept ended up in prison (some of whom thanks directly to other Intercept journalists they trusted) and how the Snowden archive was closed. Laura Poitras, who you mention in this video, was outraged about the archive being shuttered and said you and top staff did not even inform Snowden that it was being shut down.
