![VICE TO GAWKER: F--- YOU AND F--- YOUR GARBAGE CLICK-BAIT JOURNALISM Gawker, a gossip site that openly traffics in rumor, innuendo, and in many cases straight-up b-------, and whose founder, Nick Denton, has been slapped with a class-action lawsuit by former interns for violating federal wage laws, recently published an inaccurate and irresponsible story about VICE's workplace. The story is abysmal "journalism" even by Gawker's standards, relying on a handful of disgruntled (and of course off-the-record) alleged ex-employees, some of whom reference VBS.tv, a website that hasn't existed for more than four years. Gawker has been actively trolling for these sources since at least February of this year, when they published a post on their website hoping to draw people into collaborating with them. Description VICE is looking for a freelance copy editor to edit daily news and features for it's upcoming Vice News website. This is the most shopworn journalism mistake cliche this side of printing "Pubic School" in a headline. "Applicants must have a meticulous approach to their work and an uncanny eye for detail," indeed. (Gawker Media wisely does not employ copy editors, allowing us to dismiss our own typos as unavoidable trivialities.) Related: We hear Vice's pay for staffers is absolutely terrible. Are you a Vice employee who would like to share your salary with us, if we keep you anonymous? Email Hamilton@Gawker.com.
