Since Auerbach freelances now, it's hard to tell if Buzzfeed's run at him worked
[quote name="mike williams usgamer"]If Auerbach was still at Slate, we'd know by the end of the week if the journo community believed Buzzfeed. Auerbach's final statement is an unapologetic "BS". He he did show an email he sent to Milo asking about a possible Wikipedia scandal, I guess he thinks that's okay. Guess we'll have to see if he still does the occasional piece like his Daily Beast one about right wing science fiction. But Auerbach made it sound like he was already getting out of journalism earlier this year. Had a twitter thread saying the press is very clique based, and it reminded him of Microsoft at the dawn of the Ballmer era, only without the money-printing monopoly. Thing is, the rest of the press might have decided to shun him already: <a href="https://www.waggish.org/2017/trump-diary-9-black-blocs-and-u-locks/">it's not hard to see why</a>. [/quote]
