I have decided to leave Truthout after three years in the trenches. . . .

Hey, Pitt spent three hours in a ditch!

to start my own web-based, non-profit political magazine. . . .

With your journalistic reputation behind it, Jason, I think it's almost guaranteed there will be no profits.

There may be some speculation that this announcement is connected in some way to Truthout's reporting of the Karl Rove indictment matter

How can it be related when it's been almost 2 years! If they were going to fire the guy because of the Rove non-indictment, I would think it would have happened around....oh, say.......

June of 2006!

to be called BackgroundBriefing.org

That's a tongue-twister there, Jay! "BrackgownedBeefing," "BlackbrownGrieving," it's hard to get off the tongue, especially after five or six beers at Bukowski's with Pitt.

How about . . . t r u t h o u t t t h e w i n d o w .org?

I used to subscribe to their daily blasts. What a bunch of junk. I actually emailed Lori, who sends or writes it (whatever) - really out there on the fringe.

Man, when you can’t hack it at toothout, perhaps a career change is in order.

I hear McDonald’s is hiring...

He might want to actually register the domain name as part of his "preproduction" As of a couple of minutes ago it was still available for anyone who wanted to make a couple of bucks selling it back to Leopold.

"Editor-in-Chief" of an imaginary news magazine that exists only in the mind of Jason Leopold.

I guess it'll be a site devoted to breaking news that doesn't happen.

It's Jason's "niche."

BTW, any theories out there as to why he is suddenly promoting Chris Dodd as Obama's veep?

Maybe Will the Shill is angling for a gig as Dudd's press secretary.

Just what has Jason Leopold been doing there since then to justify his existence?

I know he had an interview with Valerie Plame. Other than that. . . .

So, we could say his career went down in Plames shortly after?

That too was quite some time ago, wasn't it? IIRC, it was within a year of the Rove indictment brouhaha.

BackgroundBriefing.org has been taken according to Go Daddy.com. I wonder if he got it or if someone claim jumped?
