Investigative journalists Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald visited Democracy Now! for
their first interview after launching "The Intercept," their new digital
magazine published by First Look Media, the newly formed media venture
started by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar.
Greenwald is the journalist who
first broke the story about Edward Snowden’s disclosures about the National
Security Agency's crimes. He was previously a columnist at The Guardian, a British

affords an opportunity to expose the rampant capitalist corruption and abuse that
accompanies the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
