A List Of Suggested Public Editors For Deadspin
credits: K. Webb/Hulton Archive | source: Getty Images Deadspin is currently in the process of reporting a story on its owners, an exercise that we’ve done in the past to varying degrees. In a total coincidence, the folks in charge have started pushing for a “public editor” to ensure that all future articles that may include reporting on ourselves would be “objective.” One of those folks even sent a 5,000-word email to the entire company to get ahead of his own site’s story. Thanks for pissing on our scoop, man.
In the interest of reaching a compromise, even though the flop-sweaty maneuver infringes upon the editorial independence guaranteed in the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by our wonderful union, Deadspin has agreed to allow a public editor to look at this story—provided it is one of the following candidates and no one else:
Laura Wagner
Moritz Wagner
Jim Tomsula
Nathan Peterman
Lennay Kekua
Mack Scocca-Ho
Our uncle who works at Nintendo
Ned
Cryptkeeper Al Davis
Margaret Sullivan or someone
Not Kevin Draper
One of the Deadspin children, selected at random
One of Deadspin’s evolution-defying pugs, selected at random
One of Deadspin’s many Canadian girlfriends, selected at random
Katharine Graham (Diana’s cat, not that dead lady)
