You're not wrong. To me it highlights inherent flaws in the human psyche.

I applaud your self-awareness untog. A good friend once told me

"Never read the comments"

Later expanded to:

"Never respond to the comments"

My focus on character is in response to OP assuming an article written by a notable author was "garbage," while taking the side of unnamed editors. I focused on a single sentence, and fail how to see this is illogical in the context presented.

Edit: Comment removed so removing response, leaving link to the censored article.

The New York Post is a 200 year old publication started by Alexander Hamilton, it's not some fringe media source.

> "If the editor concludes that it's a garbage story dropped a few days before the election in an attempt to influence the election"

This is bordering on hyperbole.

1. Glenn Greenwald isn't one to produce a "Garbage Story," he's a credible journalist with a long history of dropping bombshells. He's dropped bombshells about both the right AND the left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald#Awards

2. It's the job of the media to do exactly what you have alluded to within the last half of the statement above. All sides do just that every single election I've been alive, all the way up to election day. But this time, only one side is allowed to do it.

3. Glenn Greenwald is a co-founder of The Intercept and is provided contractual rights to editorial freedom.

The fact that this comment is the top comment on this thread is extremely worrying. This is censorship, nothing less.
