Gawker is trash and it's real funny that the same people who defend them on free speech grounds generally want to eliminate any speech that might hurt someone's feelings

I don't really see how it's hard to draw a line between 'it is completely legal for Gawker to talk about Hulk Hogan's penis and discuss the existence of his sex tape' and 'it's not legal for Gawker to place the sex tape online for viewing'

It's especially obvious given that the Hulkster dropped the big leg on them by pointing out how they refused to publish all of the celebrity nude pics from that hack earlier for basically those exact same reasons but now are turning around and saying this is different even though if anything it's actually worse.

Gawker's argument is basically that since Hulk Hogan is big and stupid and people like laughing at him it's OK to do this as opposed to a real celebrity people like when it would be gross and wrong.

magary's the worst part of the site nowadays. he's been doing the same shtick for years.

if you can't recognize how good some of their investigative/media journalism is (see how they lit up sbnation for the editorial breakdown they had over the holtzclaw longread); then keep on loving that chicken.

Journalism is good

Posting a sex tape, even of an rear end in a top hat, without permission from anyone but Guy Who Filmed It, is not

Don't act like all Gawker has ever done is journalism and that they're the True Victims. This is just the most highly publicized incident

did i ever absolve them with what i said? no, i didn't.

all i pointed out was that eliminating gawker media/deadspin would eliminate their v v good media/sports journalism (although some of it might be gone anyways with greg howard going to nyt). very few other outlets have been as willing to challenge espn as they are and that's a huge loss in sports media if gawker media has to fold up if they lose the lawsuit. they post repugnant poo poo just as much as the mothership (thanks aj daulerio!), but acting like they don't have any value outside of drew magary's dick jokes and being a fat dad is completely delusional.

Adam and Mike from Big Audio Nightmare have never met in person in the entire time they've been doing their show :stare:

Also the last couple of Dragon King Dark shows have really been good (contrarianism and his "state of the nation" episode about what he wants to do with the show) and I recommend people listen to them.

By nearly kill we mean allow to walk out of your house and get into a car while apologizing and telling them to come back. Same thing really.
