Glenn Greenwald Leaves the Guardian To Start His Own Site

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday October 16, 2013 @12:50AM from the turns-out-it-was-just-dailykos dept.

sfcrazy writes "Glenn Greenwald, the thorn in the proverbial back of NSA and its colonial cousin GCHQ, is leaving the Guardian to start his own news organization. Greenwald said 'My partnership with the Guardian has been extremely fruitful and fulfilling: I have high regard for the editors and journalists with whom I worked and am incredibly proud of what we achieved. The decision to leave was not an easy one, but I was presented with a once-in-a-career dream journalistic opportunity that no journalist could possibly decline. Because this news leaked before we were prepared to announce it, I'm not yet able to provide any details of this momentous new venture, but it will be unveiled very shortly.'"

The Guardian likely has a team of layers on staff to deal with them
It wouldn't be the first sex sting against members of the government run by a news organisation but how do they get around the pimping laws?

Don't you have a recorded episode of "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?" to challenge yourself with?

It's ok to be ignorant, but you shouldn't be so proud about it to make posts like these.
