With any luck he stole thousands a of sensitive documents from Greenwald’s files and will publish them on the web.

Greenwald always has such a pissy attitude—no wonder he’s driving other writers away.
He’s not even half as good as he believes himself to be—and he always has a very large ax to grind.

TPM’s weird anti-Snowden community aside, it’s kind of a shame First Look is becoming a disaster. Online journalism is in this weird place of developing sustainable models - while the ā€œrich patron of journalismā€ funding model may not have been ideal, the talent roster made me think something interesting could’ve came of it.

Especially when the alternative is freaking Gawker.

I can just imagine the tantrum that ensued from Glennda, the Manwitch. In fact, I would not be surprised to see it come out that it was Glennda’s penchant for tantrums that caused him to leave. Dude is such a self-absorbed turd.

Anti-Snowden sentiment isn’t all Eric’s doing. Some dislike the heaping dose of Greenwald.

Weird? Community?
I’d call it sane. And individual.
Cults of personality are weird. And collective.

If TPM didn’t tell me what to think of Greenwald, I’d be lost at sea.

I had been wondering what he was up to. No no longer have to wonder.
