SOLD!

Gawker Media has decided to sell Wonkette to managing editor Ken Layne. Missing in the “internal emails” published on both Wonkette and Politico is the key fact that after Layne fired associate editor Megan Carpentier (full Disclosure: she’s a good friend), about 2/3 of the site’s regular visitors staged a months-long boycott, tanking the site’s pageviews and thus ad numbers. March is a record month for them, in other words, only because January and February were so bad.
And of course, as Megan notes… Politico scooped Ken Layne on his new purchase by about 30 minutes or so. Not that that is indicative of anything.
