Complete shitbag G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller on Thursday announced the immediate closure of feminist-centric news website Jezebel, writing in a statement, “As of this week we are making the very, very difficult decision to suspend publication of Jezebel. Few decisions over the course of my career have been as excruciating, and I want to make clear this is in NO WAY a reflection on the Jezebel editorial team. They have had many successes over the past year or so and continue to do great work in difficult times. To an individual the Jezebel team has worked to meet and exceed their audience’s needs and wants in an incredibly important time for the core topics of the site.”
“Their urgent, breakthrough coverage of reproductive rights in this post-Roe era, as well as other key issues core to modern women, affirmed the brand’s storied legacy as the website that changed women’s media forever,” and blah blah blah the widely detested asshole continued.
Spanfeller is also famous for having ruined the once-extremely popular and well regarded sports news site Deadspin simply because they had too much non-sports content and shutting down Splinter News, which was the spiritual successor of Gawker after Peter Thiel destroyed it.
