Glenn Greenwald bought up by Salon
Glenn Greenwald, arguably one of the best political bloggers out there, will be moving his blog to Salon.com:
Beginning next Thursday, February 8, this blog will be moving to Salon, where it will be a featured front-page blog. I will also be a Salon Contributing Writer and will write at (least one) feature article per month. I am very excited about this move. It will substantially increase the readership and enhance the visibility for the blog, and I think Salon is the ideal venue for both blogging and for writing. A few observations about the move:
I can’t explain why, but I felt a sudden pang of saddness when I read this. I guess it’s better than going to work for one of the major mainstream publishers like the NYT or Time.
UPDATE: Greenwald becomes somewhat irritated with criticisms that he’s “selling out”
