Glenn Greenwald Containment Thread - Page 11 - Politics and Economics

Greenwald declined to comment on the precise scale of the new venture or on its budget, but he said it would be “a very well-funded … very substantial new media outlet.” He said the source of funding will be public when the venture is officially announced.

Politico reported later Tuesday that a “philanthropist” would fund the venture.

Shouldn't you be saving up for a portable sawmill?

Who knew portable sawmills were this lucrative?

I wouldn't think so at all. Soros has elections to win and Greenwald would be tearing his candidates apart.

BTW, there this in the article:

Quote:

A spokesman for George Soros, perhaps the most famous philanthropist of the American left, ruled Soros out as the backer. “They have had no contact,” Soros spokesman Michael Vachon said of Greenwald.
