> The Intercept said it had no doubt that Greenwald would "launch a new media venture where he will face no collaboration with editors — such is the era of Substack and Patreon."
Any way you look at it, this is a terrible response. Jealous much? “People are willing to pay with actual money for Greenwald’s writing. Can you imagine?!? How shameful!” Even the post-blog-revolution news media companies don’t get it.
The Intercept did have a record. It was in large part due to Greenwald. He’s leaving, so with him goes a large part of their reputation.
