Yeah it’s not a difference of opinion to declare all muslims are terrorists or all Mexicans are rapists. That’s a matter of being a f***ing asshole. And the fact that a potential US President is saying that, is haunting.

You mean guy who came across as a dickhead is an even bigger dickhead than first thought?

I feel no pity for this woman. Not once in the chat log was there anything alluding to rape, just the song. The rape portion of the song wasn’t even what they were joking about. The guy apologized MULTIPLE times, and yet she still felt the need to email Tim Cook (who by the way won’t read this petty crap anyways…

Actually, the worst thing you can do to a writer is be an editor that makes poor enough ethical decisions that cause the journalistic integrity of the journal to be brought in to question, thereby making it harder for a writer to then do their job of being a journalist. Which is what Gawker did. That goes far more…

Exactly. The same bloggers behind this shitty post which is also generating revenue are tainting the message that Univision set out to rid the world of. Gawker is not gone, the gossip queens are still here but using the rest of the sister sites as surrogates to spread their insufferable political agenda. With this…

Their argument here amounts to “you can’t challenge our integrity just because we abandoned it sometimes; we were quality journalists that time and that other time.”

Exactly, one of their elitist smug snarky posts bankrupted the entire fucking Company... Only common sense that Univision pull any other posts that were put up by the same people that there is active litigation on.

I am surprised the number of people that have not bothered to read the specific reason for this. But of course, lots of people looking for the latest thing to be outraged by are all for jumping right on the “herpa derp, omg how dare they censor and trample the rights of the 4th estate”.

Bullshit.

100,000 times this.

A good bit of the snark is from readers who come to Gizmodo in the (often vain) hope to read about tech issues. Many of us have long been annoyed by the Gawker (etc.) garbage leaking into this blog.

Who cares about the worst thing you can do to a writer - that is the writer’s issue to deal with.

I think it’s backlash against how they’re trying to paint themselves as victims.

Considering Jordan Sargent is still employed here, it means they’re not headed in the right direction.

I’m surprised how many commenters who apparently read gawker media posts don’t understand why the deletion of such articles would matter.

I disagree with what Univision is doing, but at the same time it feels like Gawker’s own opinions coming to bite them in the ass. Let’s not forget that Gawker staff supported pulling fire alarms at controversial speeches, shouting down lecturers, the firing of two men based on a childish joke that someone overheard,…

... perhaps some of us realize that you dont piss in the flower pot of someone who just rescued your ass from being shut down completely.

You’re right. Had Gawker-proper been live still far more than 6 stories would have been deleted.

I wasn’t commenting on the deleted material. I mentioned that.

I am not defending Univision’s actions because we will NEVER have the whole truth about the subject but these “Gawker is innocent guys! Come on! Stop picking on me!!!” posts have to stop. It’s embarrassing. You deal in smut, you eventually get repercussions. Let Gawker die please. Find a way to channel all this crap…
