Politicker pickled

This is old news, but worth chronicling for the record.

Earlier this month, Politicker, a network of state political blogs funded by NY Observer owner Jared Kushner, amputated most of its sites, leaving on a rump focused on NY and NJ.

Someone near the scene told me that almost 40 people are out of work, a quarter of that in IT. More than $4 million down the rat hole. Any confirmation or other details out there?
