Pajamas Media-- Can we hope for their collapse? Yes we can!
Edited on Tue Feb-03-09 02:03 PM by bos1
The rightwing site Pajamas Media, conjoined freak twin of the chock full o'wingnuts Little Green Footballs, is cutting its bloggers loose. They sent out this message:
"...we have decided to wind down the Pajamas Media Blogger and advertising network effective March 31, 2009. The PJM portal and the XPressBlogs will continue as is." http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=14222

So a bunch of right wing bloggers are (sniff sniff) unemployed. It's unclear if this is a reorganization or a collapse. Can we hope on a collapse? Yes we can!

1. Joe the Plumber was the final nail in their coffin.
He was one numbskull too many.

5. they had, unfortunately, quite a readership at one time
even if, journalism-wise, they made themselves a laughingstock rather completely. They declared Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dead in 2007. He's still alive to this day.

4. With a name like "Pajamas Media", how could it possibly fail?

Wasn't Jeff Gannon in with these pinheads too?

7. They tried the tactic of taking a derisive comment as a badge of honor
because someone said bloggers were people writing in their pajamas while down in their parent's basement or something.

However the tactic was a huge error of judgment (which could also describe their whole outlook)
