The Exile is freaking brilliant. I can proudly say that I read them since around the beginning, the year 2000. They were brutally honest and never cared about who they might offend or the bridges they may burn or how this might look on their resume. In short, exactly what you want in a journalist.
You can still find them at:www.exiledonline.com but unfortunately they do not write articles as often and are a mere shadow of their former selves.
I think that the one and only truth that they were never able to admit is how much the drugs they were taking non stop would affect their brains, and I feel I see some of the effects in their rather reduced output nowadays.
- mburney 16y agoI think the reason for the reduced output is that they were never able to truly monetize the internet version of the paper, aside from publishing a few books. Ames does freelance journalism now, and Taibbi writes for Rolling Stone, so it seems like they decided to just make a living rather than try and revive what they did in the past.
- hristov 16y agoYes I am sure that is one of the reasons too. But I do not see that much of Ames's freelance stuff either. But then again he could have taken an office job to pay the rent.
