Leitch leaves Deadspin for New York Magazine

[Small Town Guy]

He lasted a lot longer than most Gawker editors., thought it seems many of them have left for the dying world of magazines.

Bissinger puts another notch in his belt.

I'm just sad Perry White didn't have TMZ reporting this via Deadspin.

Enough of the 'we' garbage.

Say 'I accepted a new job' and take your hat.

Assmunch.

So who here is applying for the gig?

 

[playthrough]

There's the question, Inky, especially if the money is decent. Plus it won't cost you $15 a gallon to commute to your basement in pajamas.

I'm sorry, that's a stereotype. Gas is $3.95.

I don't read everything in NY Mag as it is, so this doesn't bother me, just one more thing to skip.

Why do bloggers always say "we"?

Leitch isn't the first one I've seen do it. It's pretty universal.

I hate it.

Why do they do it? Is there some obvious reason I'm not seeing?

They want us to believe there's a vast army of researchers and editors crammed into mommy's basement.

I've seen it in newspaper columns as well.

OK. Fine. Why does ANYBODY do it?

You've never heard of "the editorial 'we' "?

 

[Sly]

Or the "royal" we, for that matter? (/dude)

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

Sorry, that "editorial we" isn't the same.

Here, on this blog, it's just another coward's cloak. ("I am not the libeler, it's we.")

 

[Appgrad05]

So is every blog now going to spend their lives trying to ruin Leitch's? I mean, he did just turn his back on them, did he not?

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

No more mesh huggies, big boy pants from here on out.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

In other news, the National Enquirer has reached a two-year deal with The Big Lead.

 

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

Since he started the site - Deadspin has had over 154 MILLION visits.

We say Leitch did a good job and We wish him well in his new endevours.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

It's interesting to see people here finally going after Deadspin and Leitch.

This guy's caterwauling album had a single that went gold in Sweden.

We think the Swedes should stick to polska and eurotrance.
