I was wondering why I was finding so little in searches on "pando", (and for whatever reason, pando.com refuses to load in my browser) but "pandodaily" explains it all...Evidently it's the old "TechCrunch" from AOL lore...

For all it's traffic from covering the tech industry, pando doesn't seem to be a well-respected outlet (and there are multiple pieces out there of a similar tone):
http://www.kernelmag.com/yiannopoulos/1946/the-trouble-with-pandodaily/#

So again I ask, why would Greenwald even care? Especially at such a laughably farcical, attention-whoring accusation? I've long been one of Greenwald's biggest detractors on DU (albeit for a completely different set of reasons) and even I think the prospect of him selling the cache to Omidyar is about as likely as him selling it to space aliens...So at the end of the day Greenwald isn't 'defending himself', he's just giving some no-name nutbar the traffic he desperately craves...

As an aside, can Greenwald please STOP playing the tit-for-tat "But-WHO-signs-YOUR-paychecks?!?" game? It's a game that everyone eventually loses, and I promise you Greenwald will get (justifiably) biblical if someone started kicking over HIS financial rocks...

Not that has been proven in court. But, doesn't he live with his life partner? merrily Dec 2013 #72

Yes he does, why does that matter? George II Dec 2013 #88
