Maer Roshan is understandably bitter. The one man who still believes there is a future for print and snark — together — has seen his baby Radar get shuttered, for the third time, by investors unwilling to hold out long enough to see red ink turn black. But rather than just lock out the staff (which they did) and fire everyone at once (that also happened), Radar overseers Ron Burkle and Yusaf Jackson quickly sold the website RadarOnline.com to American Media, the proprietors behind elementary school reading Star and the National Enquirer. If you've visited the website since, you'll quickly surmise you're not pageviewing through the same homepage that Roshan spit out. Under Enquirer editor David Perel, RadarOnline.com has been, well, Enquirer-ized, with trashy headlines and minutiae for stories. "It’s not the Web site I put out," Roshan tells the Observer. Which leads us to believe: Roshan would've been much happier if Burkle and Jackson just pulled the plug on the whole brand, rather than sell its scraps for pennies on the dollar to freakin' AMI.
