CNN cancels Glenn Greenwald interview about Brazil hacking charges

CNN canceled an interview with contrarian journalist Glenn Greenwald about hacking charges against him in Brazil, stating that covering Trump administration criticism of an NPR reporter was more significant.

Greenwald, 52, was charged with cybercrimes on Tuesday after authorities claimed he was working with a “criminal organization” in order to hack into the phones of public officials and prosecutors. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been highly critical of Greenwald’s investigative reporting on his government.
