The Sun article quotes Mediabistro "host" Laurel Touby as saying that Gawker has lost its buzz, while neglecting to mention that Gawker mockingly reported a few weeks ago <http://www.gawker.com/topic/laurel-touby-gets-dissed-on-happy-hour-021639.php> that Touby hadn't been invited to a little going-away party for a departing Mediabistro staffer. This media gossip world - so vicious!
