Both of these bozos were sucking the guts out of the digital media beta site True/Slant, cross-posting material from their own digs for an extra couple of bucks in slimeball blogging.
Background at Neil Ungerleider, "Last post on True/Slant."
This is probably no big deal for most readers, although it's interesting to me that the Internet publishing gods weren't smiling down on these two libel-blogging bloviators. Maybe they'll actually hafta get jobs, you know, like most people of good moral standing. That said, Barret Brown is on True/Slant and I've found him to be a fairly decent guy after going a few rounds in the flamewars (and Barret's at Vanity Fair, so he has something of a viable inside thing going already). And I hope Kashmir Hill's social networking blog lands quickly on its feet at another location, and I'm confident it will (she's good).

Any blog or website that would even consider permitting turncoat/paranoid blogger Charles Johnson to post there, is doomed.
Charles Johnson has done everything a person can possibly do to prove himself untrustworthy.
Anybody ever hear of doing a background check or even a Google search on prospective blog team members?
Is this yet another attempt to rewrite history with the digital media bones to suck dry, then and now, as being the same?
