Pierre Omidyar did not put money into this project, without expecting something in return...He's definitely not some good Samaritan for the people anyway. His intentions were always to gain influence in the news media space and then use it against the people. Personally, I think that Greenwald is either a willing or unwitting dupe and powerless either way. He is being used by Omidyar who has him by the proverbial's. That's what all billionaires do unfortunately. They obviously do good journalism as well, because you have to gain followers and some credibility, otherwise they cannot grow. They will become the establishment left online news outlet using 'soft' propaganda to support the imperialist agenda.

Sibel Edmonds has been warning about the intentions/origins of The Intercept for a long time, and I think she will be proven right over the long term. I encourage everyone to go and view the interview between Sibel and Whitney Webb
