I really don’t have much to say and will let Fozzie Bear’s comments stand for themselves.

The Jazz Man agrees with this comment since it’s not deleted. This is a disgrace and I will let the readers comment on this.

True/Slant R.I.P. – Porky loses an outlet

Recall how a certain blogger was boasting about his new gig at a place called True/Slant?

True/ Slant R.I.P.

Posted on | July 30, 2010 | 7 Comments

Donald Douglas notes the passing of an online venue that published such luminaries as Charles Johnson and Conor Friedersdorf. Dan Riehl blames the “Culture 11″ albatross factor.

Donald and Dan neglect to mention the most notorious article in True/Slant’s brief history: Rick Ungar’s “Send the Body to Glenn Beck” screed, which blamed the death of a Kentucky census worker on Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Bachmann, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, etc.

Unfortunately for Rick Ungar’s credibility, Bill Sparkman’s death turned out to be suicide.

True/Slant editor Michael Roston reports that the site has been acquired by Forbes — does Steve Forbes know what they’re doing with his money? – while David Kaplan reports that True/Slant CEO Lewis D’Vorkin, a former Forbes staffer, is returning to the mothership.
