Oh boy. At this point, even the shit-show is becoming a shit-show. According to Dan Primack at Fortune, Mike Arrington has been fired by AOL. My inbox is full of emails from journalists, friends and total strangers -- all asking if I can explain what's going on. The vast majority of those correspondents are clearly hoping for a mass walk-out of writers if Mike is really gone. The Atlantic is already predicting what might happen post-walkout.Meantime, Mike has gone to ground -- presumably somewhere in his fortified Seattle compound -- although with apparently as little idea as any of us what the final outcome will be. Primack's story says it's a fait accompli, while others say the situation is "still developing". I spoke to a senior staffer at TCHQ yesterday who told me "No-one knows anything. It's bizarre. Surreal."Rather than replying to a billion emails, or appearing on Bloomberg, or talking to PBS or Tweeting something threatening-but-ambiguous; here's my position.
