Absolutely Hutzpa Oct 2013 #8

Omidyar has said straight up this will be a "general" news site, Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #11

Whether he said that or not Hutzpa Oct 2013 #33

"ghetto superstar"? ugh... Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #35

What's the difference between Greenwald and a Libertarian? randome Oct 2013 #7

One is a human being and the other is an ideology. last1standing Oct 2013 #10

Perhaps Mr. Greenwald can explain it to you: Luminous Animal Oct 2013 #44

"...They're just mindless slurs used to try to discredit one's political adversaries..." Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #46

And worse!? The horror! What could possibly be worse? Luminous Animal Oct 2013 #49

The point of it is as a *journalist*, he's not even supposed to Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #50

What is their business plan? Ad revenues? Subscription to premium Pretzel_Warrior Oct 2013 #6

It is going to be a platform for Libertarian and anti-Democratic party screeds. stevenleser Oct 2013 #12

Go tell that on Fox News. Maybe they'll bite there. leveymg Oct 2013 #14

Nope, I will mention it on my show though. Thanks for the idea. nt stevenleser Oct 2013 #16

Would love to hear how that goes Pretzel_Warrior Oct 2013 #24

Yep. Omidyar is sooooo anti-Democratic that Luminous Animal Oct 2013 #15

All that proves is that Greenwald snowed him. No pun intended. nt stevenleser Oct 2013 #17

What an evil genius that Greenwald is! Luminous Animal Oct 2013 #20

Glad you are catching on. nt stevenleser Oct 2013 #21

Nope. You'll never draw me into your Luminous Animal Oct 2013 #25

LMAO. You mean reality? It's not as self-serving as fantasy, I'll give you that. stevenleser Oct 2013 #27

Keep going... With your every post you make my point. Luminous Animal Oct 2013 #30

If that's so, I'm glad we're on the same page. nt stevenleser Oct 2013 #31

Kinda like Fox News bahrbearian Oct 2013 #32

LOL, you are like a dog with a bone. Didnt enough people criticize you for this last time? stevenleser Oct 2013 #38

Comments from the BOG don't mean as much as you think. bahrbearian Oct 2013 #45

Same here, but Omidyar does have a pretty good track record on supporting Democrats over Repubs n/t FSogol Oct 2013 #13

Based on what I've read so far, it will be something like Gawker Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #18

If that's all it ends up being... Kind of underwhelming. Pretzel_Warrior Oct 2013 #22

I thought the best model would have been a political/investigative "Grantland" Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #29

Both Pierre and Glenn defend teabaggers like Justin Amash constantly... BluegrassStateBlues Oct 2013 #34

Oh, this should be good...nt SidDithers Oct 2013 #19

Time to shake up the status quo?...I can't wait. Big Money for Media Chaos and Whistleblowers? libdem4life Oct 2013 #23

They aren't "all powerful" Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #39

That is a really interesting development... ljm2002 Oct 2013 #28

Pierre shouldn't gamble anymore than flamingdem Oct 2013 #37

If Greenwald does his thing, Omidyar should at least break even Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #42

He's worth an estimated 8.5 billion Luminous Animal Oct 2013 #43
