Good one. Like ray would give a shot about people's jobs.
Today in conspiracy theory logic...
I don't know if anyone else here caught it, but I didn't see a post for it and though you guys would have been all over it. Gibril Wilson definitely tried to impregnate Leon Washington during the Bengals-Seahawks game. #tips
All because Louganis finally got hurt for not keeping his head up.
I would like to think that things may have worked out differently if Autoblog didn't have to respond to the whole "HEY, LOOK AT AUTOBLOG! THEY'RE FULL OF CROOKS AND LIARS!" thing. Maybe they could have let it breath for more than 30 minutes in creating a response.
Damn, kind of wish that was the current viewpoint. Would make certain people look a lot less assholeish. I don't know, 30 minutes seems like a drop in the bucket when it's someones livelihood that you're helping get rid of. People make mistakes, people are short sighted. It would make for a terrible planet if everyone only had one shot.
The Hooniverse and [theautoinsiderblog.com] is pretty cool too. Too bad Wert got rid of TAI.

This... is awkward... coming from Jalopnik.

I guess I always figure that someone, somewhere is getting their pocket lined by what the media is saying. Personally, I don't believe that Jalopnik or any other news outlet doesn't have something going on similar to what happened here. It's not that I don't think it's wrong, I just think its common.
Jack Baruth is an auto reviewer. He works (worked?) for TTAC. They, for the most part, don't accept anything at all from car companies and pay to go review cars out of pocket. This is his holier than thou moment, and really, he is allowed to have it.
No worries, it was a bit over italicized at the time.
I guess my issue with this situation is that, to me any way (and maybe I was just raised old school), there is a way men should act. Putting someone on blast in a public space seems like gossip for the sake of gossip. If there really was a strong need to address this and they attempted to contact the EIC from the start, with no response in any way, then put this article up and pull it down as soon as the matter is addressed. Otherwise its a cheap page view (while coincidentally throwing mud at your main rival) grab that certainly assisted in someone losing their job. If Jalopnik staff acted like they had a pair and were truly worried about their "journalistic integrity" then there were a thousand ways they could have addressed it. They chose the gossipy-bitchy way.
Also, what does it say about your "'journalistic' integrity" when most of your blogs content, sorry, "journalism" is YouTube videos and links to other sites with a 3 line synopsis? Mike and Pete are the only ones who remember how to write an article anymore and it's a shame to see Mike gossip.
Men don't gossip.

Look At early Mercedes and auto union race cars and tell me silver is boring. That's why beige=appliance #oppositelock
You summed up something I've been trying to say for quite a while. Just put hooniverse for community anymore and the auto insider for news.
Pricewise, in Philly it's about the same as budweiser and coors light and quite a bit better. #oppositelock
That quote was actually from Mike Spinelli, not John Neff. He's the one who decided to go Ad Hominem to prove blog superiority, so at best it's an honest assessment. At worst it's blindly accusing of a federal crime. Last I saw, laws are written out with very little undefined grey area so perhaps there should be full research on trade laws that Jeff is accused of breaking instead of generalities. Sadly, an autoblog commenter said it best, and it applies to both websites equally, "It's funny to read a phrase like "breach of trust" on a website that fills out their website with you tube videos." [i.autoblog.com]#aolc=A-FCbg Apparently Autoblog has quite a few Hennessey articles that have never been slightly negative. That seems like a much bigger fish to fry than their one decent writer.

With hard hitting news like this, it's clear why huffpo media group doesn't have time to give people second chances.

I'm starting to wonder... Did you pay for that hat?
