Wonkette
is a website that was established in January 2004, it was part of the
Gawker Media Network, and it’s founding editor was Ana Marie Cox, who
has also been the editor of the well known website suck.com. Gawker
Media thought a downturn in the internet boom was on the horizon, and
not wanting to lose all the money they had poured into the website they
sold it. The buyers were Ken Layne and his business partners, paying
$12 Million in 2006. It’s also worth mentioning that Ken Layne was also
the editor of the site at the time he and his partners bought it. |
