I'll hold off until seeing the setup

of contributors, quality control, coverage, and transparency before declaring it a big deal...I remember Tucker Carlson (at the height of his popularity) getting a blank check to build his online media empire, and we see how that turned out (I know, apples and oranges comparison)...

It goes without saying that the *only* reason Greenwald has the juice to make something this big happen this fast is because he's dangling the carrot of unreleased info, which in my opinion is a breach of professionalism (but then again "new media" threw most of the old rules out the window long ago)...But having said that, more power to him -- I'm not too proud to send in my resume once it gets up and running...
