Take a hike, racist.

You are high, (or else handicapped) if you believe any of that.

Why do you think American rejects its Republic, its Constitution, and the laws that govern the land the minute Donald Trump becomes president, whereby allowing him to do those things you mention?

Exactly, Ashley has done more to help Trump than to hurt him. I get it; she’s writing for her job and needs clicks since after the election she’s gone. After that, she’ll have a hard time getting work covering middle school girls bball.

THIS.

His rhetoric has exposed him as a threat to democracy.

Deadspin must be world class yogis at mental gymnastics. I’ve literally never seen a group of such sanctimonious people about journalistic ethics do an about-face.

Yeah, this article is more likely to embolden Trump supporters with their claims about the media being corrupt than it is to actually get a journalist to go back on their own ethics.

Yikes, I hate Trump as much as the next guy but what is breaking one of the most sacrosanct J-School rules really going to do? What could possibly scare off his nutjob supporters? A tape of him dropping n-bombs? Please. His supporters have at least met a woman before.

So throwing away long-respected journalistic principles, whereby people may tell you things they otherwise wouldn’t/couldn’t in exchange for confidentiality, is OK as long as you don’t like the guy? We’ve become a nation entirely overtaken by feelings.

“If you think I won’t say anything about soccer star Megan Rapinoe because she’s white, think again.”

I agreed with you until this line:

What may be obvious to you is not always obvious to others. Ivy-league educated white people tend to run in small, very specific circles of other Ivy league white people. He doesn’t get it because it isn’t part of his lived experience and never will be. This statement is his admission of his privilege as well as…

Agreed. This type of attitude is just as annoying as people who say “libtards”. Some people (not necessarily Joanna, she's a writer with pages views to earn) don’t want us to work together to solve issues, they just want to the winning side. Let's not use Congress as a role model, America, let's keep working together…

Most open minded people do realize this about Republicans, but keep in mind that you are also in the middle of the biggest liberal circle-jerk on the entire internet. (AKA Gawker Media). If you say anything remotely right winged on here, you might as well have punched a baby in a stroller.

Joanna, why is it so hard to understand that Republicans can have complex thoughts, ideas and feelings, some of them logical and cogent, just like you?

I’d say or what.

Because there wasn’t anything legally wrong with the shifter. Sure, it was confusing, but that is relatively hard to legally compel a company to do a recall. If you used the shifter correctly, it operated correctly. So, the company recognizing that it was confusing, said “Hey guys, we’ll make it less confusing!” and…

Ignoring the article which I admit I can choose not to click on, I find your title to be an profanity laced abuse of the idea sharing forum that is the internet. As such, any ideas you subsequently share are harder to seriously consider because I begin to doubt whether anything written will be worthwhile or relevant…

The guy turned around a hellhole state like Ohio. He should get credit for that.
