Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav adds GQ's journalistic integrity to his kill list after an audacious display of editorial cowardice:
I wrote for Paste last year. Bailey’s story was full of just, well-argued, fully backed-up disgust with how Zaslav has run the company. A few hours after it went up, it had been substantially rewritten by someone else. By Monday afternoon,In the last twelve or so months, the entertainment world has formed an even more negative opinion of Zaslav, whose tactics have seemed designed to alienate and infuriate everyone but the most cynical of stockholders.
But no, a thin-skinned lackey complained to GQ shortly after Bailey’s piece went up. GQ—with the backbone and journalistic integrity of its owners, the Newhouse family , and editor-in-chief Will Welch —immediately put tongue to boot. With conflicts of interest as blatant as those, why wouldn’t they?‘s Edward Lewis, was scrapped.
For all their happy, healthy collaboration, WBD and GQ couldn’t even get their story straight about what the problem was. In their own statement,“A piece published by GQ on Monday was not properly edited before going live. After a revision was published, the writer of the piece asked to have their byline removed, at which point GQ decided to unpublish the piece in question. GQ regrets the editorial error that led to a story being published before it was ready.
Were there a ton of factual errors? Or was it that the piece didn’t include WBD confirming or denying that Zaslav is very much like the bad guy in a TV show, a show he’d happily condemn to the scrapyard for a quick buck? Or was it that the story slipped through the GQ editors’ fingers, accidentally hitting the internet without allowing their PR-conscious team to water it down?
