.@ggreenwald on the absurdity of ex-colleagues' smears: "The Intercept is a place probably more so than anywhere else in media where you make an obscene amount of money, for doing very little if you want... Money is the reason to stay at the Intercept."
The point here is not to criticize anyone for working at The Intercept, even their insanely overpaid writers who produce shitty and/or very little work. The point is to rebut criticism that Glenn left The Intercept for financial reasons or a "marketing opportunity."
In fact, a side issue here is that there are hard-working reporters at The Intercept who make relatively small salaries, compared to more well-known personalites earn hundreds of thousands of dollars for producing little work, & in the case of James Risen, Russiagate fan fiction.
.@NaomiAKlein, who just accused Glenn of a "marketing ploy", made a great 2004 doc about workers seizing an idle factory from greedy bosses. Somehow doubt she'd support Intercept workers seizing control from idle, overpaid superiors making insane salaries. thetake.org
