I am not involved in the production in any way, but yes he is Truman.

I'm doing my part

There's not going to be an official confirmation for months. But yes, he is playing Truman and was a last-minute replacement for Mike Ontkean. It fits because Lynch and Frost have always been fond of Forster, who was in MD and was also the original choice for Truman but had to pass due to another commitment.

Because. Sorry, that's all you get. Anything else violates people's trust.

Some of us know. Also he was photographed literally wearing Sheriff Truman's uniform with the badge saying 'Sheriff'.

Yes, of course, I forgot, Gawker was just the noble bastion led to the slaughter. It had nothing to do with any of the policies or ethos behind the material they published.

Imma eat some yogurt on that

Oh, please.

Judging by his articles of late, Rich Juzwiak hasn't learned much from many experiences over the years.

Not for the first time, Glenn Greenwald is wrong.

The Twitter liveblogging of the staff conference in which they all just rip Denton to shreds - as he belatedly and half-assedly tries to explain to them they should have some professional standards - was the absolute nadir.

I will never forget Rich Juzwiak's fawning piece about how he was (seriously) in love with the dude, and believed Daulerio loved him too. My God, set us homos back 40 years, please.

Rough week?

That was also Gawker's problem, and what led to their demise. Even now they're giving all these speeches insisting they be Taken Seriously.

My last straw with Jez was the Taylor Swift witch burning a while back, now juxtaposed against their very wishy-washy approach to Nate Parker. One was sport, the other was just being scared.

I often like Kotaku, and read it. My problem with the sister sites (Kotaku included) is that most of the articles seem to be very earnest and angling towards a progressive viewpoint without really examining an issue beyond their personal engagement or in other cases, just a brief glance.

God, what an idiot. He thought he was Andy Rooney.

I was seeing red when Rich Juzwiak, of all people - Gawker's resident "old gay" - was trotted out to vociferiously and incoherently defend the Geithner story. His and Gawker's rationale basically boiled down to "but he's rich!"

And yet, those 'instances' were enough to make a lot of us see the site for what it had become over the years: A barely-controlled playpen for brats who flattered Denton and made him feel like the Cool Dad, with no sense of journalistic ethics or any kind of professional conduct. It's easy when someone else is paying…

Both their commentariat and their writers blow.
