Greenwald:

My comment about how this is a unique and exciting opportunity wasn’t about ownership, since I have none. It was about the opportunity to help build something new and unique. What attracted me - and Laura, Jeremy, Liliana Segura, Micah Lee, Dan Froomkin and others - was the prospect that this is going to be a unique media outlet: a well-supported and uniquely structured institution that is designed from the start to encourage, support and empower - rather than undermine, dilute and neuter - independent, adversarial journalists. The whole point of how we’re structuring it is to insulate journalists from the pressures - both internal and external - that detract from their independence and ability to do fearless journalism.
