Mess America: Jezebel Is the Last Site That Can Call Out Anyone for Doing Bad Journalism
Photo: Mel Evans/AP It seems almost like a waste of time to really tear into Jezebel. The site basically operates as a perpetual feminist umbrage machine and no criticism, no matter how legitimate, will affect the way it comports itself or make it think twice the next time ...read more
