Liar Liar, Rants On Fire

Denton is cracking down on liars in his lair. Physician, go fuck thyself.

More lies. Denton spits them out through his teeth. He never answers why Mohney was fired. In fact, he refuses to use the word "fired" though I'm not sure there's another term for notifying an employee the day before it hits the news wires that he has two options: reassignment or quit. (Mohney would never pull a Nick Douglas.) Apparently it wasn't about traffic - the old "it's not you, it's meme" excuse of running a blog empire. OK, fine, but quit stalling at the green light and say what the actual business decisions were behind this. Was it just that Choire was available? I'd buy it, wholesale.

I wonder what Denton and Lock really feel about Mohney's job performance. We'll never know the truth of course, natural born liars they are. Was he given any sign along the way that he was in hot water before Nick and Lock took a golden shower on him? Ironically, it's the same foul-weather situation when Mohney's tidal base was raised and Oxfeld was shown the all-purpose steele boot. To this day Lock still can't look Ox in the eye and honestly say why he was fired. (Was it just that Balk was available? I'd buy it, retail no less.) Everyone knew Denton never liked Ox on a personal level, I sincerely hope that isn't the case with Mohney too.
