Nobody said anything about anybody getting paid. Do you really think that the idea of the DNC or Clinton campaign using surrogates to push narratives with their contacts in the media is crazy? We have many many emails from both the State Department and the recent DNC leaks showing exactly this.

It didn’t have anything to do with Gawker. I was responding to a specific comment by the author of this article that specifically explained how attacking a fringe presidential candidate’s non-commital answer to a question about something that is neither controversial nor relevant to this election falls into editorial…

I don’t even like Jill Stein, but the swarming hive of Democrats that are currently advancing the argument that it’s morally incorrect to vote for anyone but Hillary Clinton this year are enough to make me defend her.

You’re as right about that as you are about anything else.

Don’t worry, I wasn’t questioning that the decision to attack Jill Stein is a Gawker-wide directive from the top. But when the author specifically says that it’s Gizmodo’s task to debunk unscientific public discourse, I would be looking for other examples of similar articles on the SAME site that similarly admonish…

Sorry, I sometimes forget that Gizmodo and a Jezebel subsite nobody has heard of are editorially identical—or that Matt Novak is really Julianne Escobedo Shepherd in disguise.

Funny how when Trump makes fun of intellectually disabled people it’s disgraceful but Gawkerites have no problem throwing “tard” around as a way of dismissing anyone they disagree with in lieu of making grown-up arguments or using evidence.

“When people say stupid anti-science shit, Gizmodo writes about it.”

“When people say stupid anti-science shit, Gizmodo writes about it.”

So where’s the article on the former Democratic National Committee chair and current Clinton campaign employee claiming that legalizing medical marijuana may lead to heroin abuse and that there’s no evidence to support its medical value? Oh, right you’re full of shit and just trying to make sure Jill Stein doesn’t…

It’s not intended to be accurate, it’s intended to talk you out of “wasting your vote” on anyone but Hillary. Under this thinking, a protest candidate who will never hold any power must be ideologically flawless, whereas you’re expected to accept actual corruption and support for war crimes in a “lesser of two evils”…

Funny you consider this to be nuttier than the concept of American Exceptionalism or the notion that you can magically transfer democratic principals to other countries via bombing.

Big Pharma controls every other aspect of our healthcare system. Why not vaccines? Just because Big Pharma happens to be on the right side here doesn’t mean that it’s untrue that they’ve totally captured the drug regulatory system. People switch back and forth between high-ranking positions at the FDA and pharma…

That sounds awful. Apparently used to be a pretty nice neighborhood too. Reading about the history of that area it’s a damn shame those people are still paying for the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. I don’t imagine that’s something that’ll ever wash off. There’s gotta be a way to improve neighborhoods that doesn’t…

Must be a bummer having to look at all the people your government is neglecting to feed, house and educate so that they can subsidize your entertainment.

It’s really sad that’s 100 percent true.

Aspirational fetishists who NEED to live in a world where the trappings of obscene, unchecked, untaxed wealth at least exist. All part of the necessary illusion of economic mobility that brings us the lottery, briefly killed the estate tax, and makes this country great!

Yeah, fuck LeBron!

same.

So you think it’s more likely that Kaepernick’s representation unnecessarily leaked his trade request out of the mistaken belief that it was a better way to generate interest in their client than going through backchannels than SF not wanting to make their interest in getting rid of Kaepernick known to other teams?…
