Soon they will all be back on wordpress with self published blogs and then as a final HA! Thiel will buy wordpress. Requiring them to revert to being reddit commentators.

This. All of this.

Yes. While Thiel is very much a douche and his use of funds to attack the media should be looked at and examined, Gawker is also the same bunch of punk-asses who published the CFO/Conde Nast story to, well, who the fuck really knows why they thought to publish such a reprehensible piece.

Oh, you can only comment on things you agree with? And how was he killing The First Amendment with Gawker? Last time I checked, he wasn’t the government. I’ve stated that i don’t like Thiel, but I don’t blame him for going after Gawker. Gawker’s goal was to go after people pointlessly and they paid the price. You can…

So just because you don’t agree with something you’re supposed to shut it out? Isn’t that the definition of ignorance? Why not read and try to understand the other side, even if you don’t agree with it? I find it humorous that you say I’m posting comments about what people don’t want to hear, yet, you do the EXACT…

If it was written by another site, sure. But this is another whiny piece by Trotter. He’s writing about it because he feels wronged, not because it’s newsworthy. First fucking sentence included “his decade-long campaign to destroy Gawker Media.”. Trotter constantly plays the victim. It’s a tired diatribe that he plays…

Lemme know when they start reporting on the same fucking thing on the left because if you don’t think that is happening you are willfully ignorant at this point. This is only because Gawker, errr Gizmodo, has a stick up their ass because Thiel ruined them due to their own childish behavior.

In his defense I don’t see how its even possible to take AJ seriously,literally, or technically.

“media is under attack” you say that like it’s a bad thing. It’s illegal to yell ‘fire’ in a crowded theater, but that is exactly what the media does (broad brush stroke, you like?) - thus the hatred that most feel towards them is well-earned. Too bad, when they had a conscience, they were quite something to behold. …

No, the problem is that these articles are slowly turning Gizmodo into Gawker. I don’t come to Gizmodo for news on Peter Thiel (or Trump/Clinton articles, for that matter). And any stretch to tie this guy and Gawker to tech news is dubious at best.

You mean Soros, right?

Rich guys working in the shadows to influence society and government? Like George Soros? Gawker tried to bully someone who decided to fight back, and was successful. Now, the tattered and scattered remnants are whining like HE started the fight.

Gawker shouldn’t have put Thiel in that position then. I’m no fan of his, but to absolve Gawker of any responsibility in this is what I’m speaking of.

Sure. All Dems are lying scumbags with no morals, no respect for the law, and will soon be hunted down and jailed like they deserve to be. Hillary and Obama will be first, then all the rest.... right down to you.

Time to replace Trotter with someone who’s far removed from the Gawker/Hogan shitfest.

He cornholed these bitches and now they are crying.

How many more of these stories are you going to do. You’re obsessed with this guy, it’s sad. We get it, you don’t like him, he took away your toys, let it fucking go.

Yes, but still far better than Nick Denton, the scum of the earth.

Who? If its the author of this piece I agree.

Trotter or Theil?
