This is egregiously unprofessional reporting. The turds at the VV ran "Backpage"- a disgusting site which led to a bunch of elderly turds getting indicted for felony sex trafficking. Here's some real reporting from the Washington Post: "In addition to hosting thinly veiled ads for prostitution since 2004, was accused of hosting child sex trafficking ads on its site and even assisting advertisers in wording their copy so they didn’t overtly declare that sex was for sale, federal investigators allege. In a remarkable three-paragraph admission in his federal plea agreement, Ferrer wrote that “I conspired with other Backpage principals … to find ways to knowingly facilitate the state-law prostitution crimes being committed by Backpage’s customers.”
The Village Voice deserved to die, and the Village Voice/Backpage principals deserve their punishment.
Rather than mourn the passage of the Village Voice, we should spit on it's grave.
