What is this?..How many stories can you milk out of this dead Deadspin thing today? And what the fuck is Deadspin anyway, and why should I care? Is it really that consequential? OK, they fucked up. Gardner was indeed a fathead football jock in Jr. High School. BFD. Oh, and Deadspin plans on eating some shit too. Great reporting. So they goofed. It could be worse for them…Gardner could have been on the cheerleading team instead like Shrub was, giving him the Shrub-like bump in the polls.
Someone apparently won’t be happy until Deadspin has done some self-flagellation in public I see.

The main problem with TPM headlines is there has not been enough Fuck in them lately. I’m glad to see this is being addressed.

Someone at Deadspin said Fuck, and it made for a click baity TPMZ headline. No content. No point. No reason for being, save for clicks.

I’ve not heard a better description of modern journalism.
In defense, Deadspin and TPM have very similar rankings as far as number of site visits. TPM has always been a media watcher, and has actively developed relationships to it’s peer outlets.
So TPM swims in this ocean and another fish is shitting and fucking all over itself, it’s news about news I guess.
Oh. So they apologized already.
Well gee, I hope the Gardner campaign will still be able to milk this story for another day or so.
OK. I just went there to check it out since I know nothing about this site. It looks like they do a lot of sports stories there with some other stuff that seems inconsistent with all the other things they post. Plus, its poorly laid out. It looks weak in presentation. And then there’s this…this is an actual story they had today:
I don’t think TPM has anything to worry about if this is their competition as you suggest.
I did click on that.
