Based on the reasoning here, if Hulk Hogan were a politician and not a professional wrestler, then Jezebel would still be part of the Gawker network.

Also, it's in the public interest that Weiner sent photos to a minor, but I don't think it's in the public interest to actually see his schlong. You can report the story without actually sharing the photos.

If experience has taught me anything, the advice will be to spawn more Overlords.

“Imagine if she’d joined the Army? It was segregated until 1948.”

She shouldn’t have to respond to this. It’s very likely she had zero awareness of the organization’s racist past when this happened (twenty goddamn years ago); she shouldn’t have to apologize for something she had no knowledge of.

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

If you’re going to write a piece on tennis, you should probably actually know something about...tennis.

Come on Root, you gotta be better than this. 

G/O Media Inc’s websites have really been struggling with generating content since Trump got kicked out of office.

Just from some quick back of the napkin math, this fine is .2% of her winnings (and that’s winnings alone, her earnings including endorsements and stuff is like 10x higher). I absolutely support her not doing the interviews if she feels like it’s bad for her well-being, but I also don’t really have a problem with the…

It’s not *quite* accusing someone of Nazi sympathies because they once owned a VW Beetle made in the ‘70s, but it’s only a step or two removed from it.

The GOP is passing laws to suppress the Black vote across the country and you post this clickbait non-story about a fair with a racist past to take down a talented actress who did nothing wrong? Jesus.

We really doing this? Really? I mean we have Texas trying to take away the right to vote for anyone that isn’t white, actually seasons their food and can clap on the 2 & 4 and this is what you’re concerned with? I am all for multi-tasking but I am also for priorities and this ain’t it. Unless you have footage of her…

There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

Am I missing something? I see no connection other than the origins of the festival or party or whatever that would tie her to KKK leanings. If dumbass Black people wanted to join that bullshit, that’s of course their choice but I don’t see where she was personally connected to the KKK or even racism. I also think it’s…

If I were famous, I would only talk to the press if I had to - i.e. promoting something or career protection. I think it’s normal. Talking to the press and maintaining an active Twitter profile so the entire world can know what I think about every issue (and feel entitled to demand an explanation/apology if they don’t…

Yep, I will totally buy his explanation - as soon as he finishes the story.

At least in the play Romeo offed himself instead of running for Senate.

I can’t stop laughing at this.

No, but I kind of thought it was referring to the bong in the picture, and I was kind of impressed.
