Nothing beats Gawker when it comes to revealing the collective insecurities of our nation's media clinger-ons.
Like a scene from the high school cafeteria, Gawker hires irreverent-irreverents to trash talk and dictate what's hip and cool. Then every bitter editorial assistant in NYC joins together to come up with the most unique way to repeat what was just said. Here's a particularly vivid example of this where the folks who write your TV Guide listings joined together to humiliate a college student the New York Times selected to be one of its bloggers.
So, yes, grown adults took time away from fetching their boss's latte in order to collectively stick their tongues at a college kid just getting started in life.
...not that'll she'll have a hard time of it, what with blogging for NYT at the tender age of 22.
