Michael Tracey Fired From Vice For Exposing Lena Dunham as Clinton Employee

I’ve been a @VICE contributor since 2012 and posted innumerable controversial things since then. Apparently exposing Dunham crossed the line

@mtracey why NOW? None of the HRC folks matter.

@NomikiKonst I guess you’d have to ask them.

@mtracey no reason? They did it when the Clintons are irrelevant? Very weird

@NomikiKonst The original tweet was sent on Election Day, so who knows. My DMs are open

@mtracey what did she do?

@libbycwatson She claimed she voted for HRC in the NY primary when she could not have, because she is not a registered Democrat.

@mtracey @libbycwatson was that the real reason, or was it because you tweeted her address to your 42,000 followers

@itwasthreezero @mtracey wait, michael, did you do that?

@libbycwatson @itwasthreezero Her address was publicly reported information. I got it from Gothamist. http://gothamist.com/2014/12/09/lena_dunham_update.php …

@mtracey @itwasthreezero right, ok

@mtracey @itwasthreezero are you sure the voter roll is current?

@libbycwatson @itwasthreezero yes, NY doesn’t process changes till after the November general election, per statute.

@mtracey @VICE @lenadunham are you going to discuss this scandal in an essay? Love to read it. She’s leaving the country anyway.

@mtracey @VICE I’ve been a Vice loyalist for a few years now. I thought they took pride in honest journalism?

@bleav11 @mtracey @VICE Vice sold out a long time ago, along with every other media company. The past year with Hillary proved this

@chiru_no @mtracey @VICE yeah, you’re right. That’s too bad. I really liked some of Vice’s work.
