Pajamas Media is stopping its wingnut welfare programme to concentrate on a much more expensive money drain:
As you know, last September Pajamas Media began a new initiative in Internet television called Pajamas TV. When we started with our RNC coverage from Minneapolis, we noted that we would be in a Beta Phase through the first quarter of 2009. In the last few months we have strengthened the PJTV lineup with shows covering Media Bias, Education Bias, Middle East Update, Sharia and Jihad, Powerline Report, Ask Dr. Helen, Hugh News, Poliwood, Conservatism 2.0, Economy and Finance, National Security, and others.
As the end of the first quarter approaches and we near the production phase of Pajamas TV, we will continue to build our emphasis in this area. As a result we have decided to wind down the Pajamas Media Blogger and advertising network effective March 31, 2009. The PJM portal and the XPressBlogs will continue as is.
A whole generation of spittle-flecked nutcases thought Pajamas Media would make them into the next Rush Limbaugh without ever having to leave the comfort of their basements and now the gravy train is over you can almost hear the squeels of outrage from the Cheetoos brigade on this side of the Atlantic. But take pity on the likes of Jeff Goldstein, who says “I am officially out of work” and that ” this site will likely have to shut down”. Here’s somebody who against all odds found a sugardaddy foolish enough to sponsor his hobby so that he could pretend to be an useful member of society again. And now there’s a bit of an economic crisis and suddenly there are no more investors willing to pour money in a bottemless pit on the off chance that the rantings of fifth rate shock jocks too ugly for radio would actually provide any return on investment.
How cruelly capitalism has failed them again!
