As to its headquarters, we asked Greenwald whether any consideration had been given to locating it outside of the United States, given the legal sensitivity of the reporting he has done in recent months. He declined to answer, but gave us a treat and noted that it’s an “important and good question.”

The Intercept and Pando Daily are currently at war on Twitter over a Mark Ames article showing that Omidayar and the US State Dept. had been funding anti-government groups in Ukraine prior to the current crisis. As Ames mentions in his article, Pando itself is partly funded by Peter Thiel whose politics are sickening. Highlights how complicated notionally independent online media gets when you start turning to billionaires for money.

k3vin otm, i like ames's work a lot but their obsession with discrediting greenwald is way more personal than political and long predates omidayar.

Tom Ricks has a growing suspicion that Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden are up to something.
On Saturday, the Pulitzer Prize-winning national security reporter posed a question to Greenwald on Twitter.
"Glenn, any comments from you or Edward Snowden on the recent round of media shutdowns in Russia?" Ricks asked.
After initially referring Ricks to Snowden's representative at the ACLU, Greenwald asked Ricks if he had any comment on "Peruvian police corruption," "corporate waste dumping in E Africa," or a U.S. drone strike from last year that killed 13 people en route to a wedding party in Yemen.
Sure, Ricks said, he'd be "happy to comment," but not before he saw Greenwald denounce Vladmir Putin "and his crackdown."
The next day, after he evidently didn't get the response from Greenwald that he was looking for, Ricks took to Twitter to denounce "Peruvian police corruption and US drones that kill innocents."
"Now [your] turn to discuss Putin," Ricks said to Greenwald.
