Another Reporter Quits eBay Founder's News Startup: 'What A Pathetic Joke'
A reporter for the news website that launched by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar announced in a fiery series of Facebook posts in recent days that he had quit his job, marking the latest high-profile departure from First Look Media.
Ken Silverstein, a former Harper's editor who went to work for First Look's investigative arm The Intercept last year, unloaded on the enterprise after his resignation.
"Wow, it is amazing how good it feels not to work for The Intercept," Silverstein wrote on his private Facebook account on Saturday.
Silverstein gave media journalist Jim Romenesko permission to reprint his Facebook messages on Sunday.
He focused much his ire on First Look management and the collapse of Racket, the organization's political-satirical website that fell apart before publishing anything. Silverstein originally joined the organization to work for Racket, but moved to the Intercept after the collapse. He wrote that the company essentially "forced" Racket editor Matt Taibbi to resign through "incompetence and bad faith."

I don't know how that would work
Did Snowden make over $100,000 last year? Did he spend more than 30 days in the USA last year? If the answers are NO and NO, then by law he is not required to pay US taxes.
If you meet certain requirements, you may qualify for the foreign earned income and foreign housing exclusions and the foreign housing deduction.
If you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien of the United States and you live abroad, you are taxed on your worldwide income. However, you may qualify to exclude from income up to an amount of your foreign earnings that is adjusted annually for inflation ($91,500 for 2010, $92,900 for 2011, $95,100 for 2012, and $97,600 for 2013). In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts.

That's at least the 5th alert against me that's come back 6-1 in the past few days. I got PM's from DU'ers passing along jury results all weekend.
Glad to see jurors are wise enough to know a "bullshit alert", to quote juror #2, when they see one.
Thanks for posting the results.
