Wonkette: Owned (And Not By Gawker Anymore)

Monday April 14th, 2008 12:26 PM by BHDC Staff
Filed under: Wonkette, Gawker, Ken Layne, Nick Denton

Disgruntled politicos, envious bloggers, and rich Late Night Shots-ers, rejoice. Wonkette has been sold, and is no longer part of the stable of popular Gawker Media blogs. Gawker overlord Nick Denton has transfered ownership to current editor Ken Layne, citing low traffic and lacking advertising dollars as key reasons to unload. The site has been in upheaval for months now, experiencing a rotating menagerie of top editors and suspicious staff firings.

you are such a a pathetic piece of shit loser, did they punch you when you were a kid, or did they make fun of you, or why the fuck do you have such a chip on your shoulder… constantly write about wonkette… what the fuck does anyone give a shit, it does not belong here.. and you just send all your traffic over there…

Besides they still smoke you… but for god’s sake GET THE FUCK OVER IT, forget wonkette, whatever they did to you its not worth it, please for your own good, for us, for everyone.

WE DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR PATHETIC LITTLE TURF WAR…so PLEASE write your political gossip..what you do best and stop that crap…. because it just makes you look really incompetent and dumb…

So get over it…

@Late to the party:

Succint. Nicely done.

Although you do have to admit, the Sinclair nonsense sure does bring in the traffic. Have you ever tried to wade through one of those threads?
