Weld releases a statement regarding Kyle going from them to AMG/the Snooze/al.com.

As the first comment put it very succinctly: "I'm sure I don't need to point this out because it is already beyond apparent - but this public statement reeks of butthurt. Unprofessional!"

I hope that Kyle is allowed to do what he does best.

I hope so, too.

I'd hate to think he's joined the dark side.

I don't care what they say, Weld has been hemorrhaging money since its initial investment, and Kyle was jumping ship before the whole thing fell.

I literally laughed out loud when they put they he left for a "competitor". Not even a competition, regardless of how weak the Alabama Media Group is.

Glenny Brock, Editor in Chief and another of the founders, also left recently. I suspect that Weld is in deep doody. I hate it, I like a good alternative paper and had high hopes for Weld.

Whitmire is one of the best local reporters I know of, and I'll follow him wherever he goes. Even if it is the (hoooock, spit, ptui!) Snooze.

Not a very professional response to him leaving.

Yeah, I had higher expectations for Mark Kelly.

That's quite the public pouty face he put on.

if thats the same mark kelly that used to work for the mayors office then such a statement does not surprise me.
