A belated follow-up to last year’s entry, ” Sleaze-Blogger E.D. Kain Interviews Despicable Libel-Blogger Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs .” 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). Added: Dan Riehl links, ” Conor Friedersdorf: Angel Of Death In Web Publishing .” I forgot about that idiot Conor Friedersdorf, but he’s right up there with E.D. Kain and Charles Johnson.
