[Salman]

End of an era? Times changing? Or just ran out of money?

[FrankRizzo890]

“And nothing of value was lost”. Now they just need to whack “The Root”.

[AppyPappy]

They can’t define the word “Woman” anymore. Feminism is over.

[Vahan1987]

Feminists don’t care about “Innocent Until Proven Guilty”.

[HonkyTonkMan]

Never heard of Jezebel. Nobody reads Gizmodo and the Onion anymore either.

[Mr. Jeeves]

“A well-run company would have moved away from an advertising model, but instead they are shuttering the brand entirely because of their strategic and commercial ineptitude."

Well, that whole "dedicating yourself to destroying capitalism" thing does have some downsides. :)

bye

[Drew68]

G/O Media, which owns Jezebel and other sites including Gizmodo and the Onion

They can shut down the woke and now painfully unfunny Onion while they're at it.

It's a shameful, embarrassing shadow of what it once was.

Why would anyone name a news service “Jezebel”?

“I heard about a king who was doing swell till he started messing with that evil Jezebel.”—Elvis Presley

“If ever the devil was born without a pair of horns, it was you, Jezebel, it was you.”—Frankie Laine

[verum ago]

Oh no, Jezebel is shutting down?

Well, sh*t.

Now who's going to remind me that the perfect woman is one who doesn't engage in relationships; engages in promiscuous, unprotected sex; routinely gets abortions; is completely independent of all of humanity; openly tries to fill the emptiness of having no relationships while denying the root cause; is openly hostile to others; is supposedly "resilient" and "strong" and is yet somehow a victim of everyone and everything ever..?

“Their new site, to be called Satan…”

[ifinnegan]

They telegraph it.

[Olog-hai]

Well, it’s better than being thrown over the castle wall and being eaten by dogs, I guess.

[Honest Nigerian]

Did anyone get video of the wild dogs visiting the ground where Queen Jezebel’s corpse lay?
The Death of Jezebel has been depicted by various artists.
A powerful illustration of Scriptural admonition “The wages of sin is death.”

[JimSp]

Good riddance to a site dedicated to evil

[SaveFerris]

(Jezebel to shut down)

Hillary is going out of business?

[DaxtonBrown]

The supply of childless lesbian cat ladies subscribers has apparently peaked.

[Reverend Wright]

You forgot being run over by Jehu in his chariot.

[grey_whiskers]

Well *done*, sir!
