But, it is different. Pulling a piece because it spoke ill of an advertiser is NOT the same thing as pulling a post because it contains nothing of legitimate public interest and it exposes embarrassing personal information about a private individual for no reason other than Gawker doesn’t like Reddit.

I’m afraid you don’t know what censorship is.

I think your example is a little off-point. Let’s say that you submit a design to a client for a building made of balsa wood 150 stories tall with a dynamite factory on the first floor, and for some reason, your supervisor agrees that this is a fantastic idea. The marketing department hears from the client that they…

Can you really one really complain about intrusion into “journalistic integrity and standards” when running, and then defending, such an egregious violation of journalistic integrity and standards?

But you certainly can’t argue that Simmons’ management of Grantland was really successful, can you? By all reports I’ve seen he was pretty beloved as a boss, and they did really good and interesting work under his leadership. If that’s what “treating them like friends” produces, then why would someone change that for…

Blech you’re gross and a turd.

You really aren’t helping.

Serious question for Natasha: if Roy had contacted you with these pictures and told you that he was attempting to blackmail one of the women but they wouldn’t pay him, would you have published his pictures of the woman in question and kept his identity secret?

Egypt. Turkey. Iran. Saudi Arabia. Israel.

That’s what we always gets wrong about these fundamentalists. As much as they hate the West, they hate other Muslims infinitely more.

I don’t like hurting someone

Dude, did I say he’s in the wrong comment section?

I understand why you want to change the subject to anything but your own shittiness for liking animal torture. But why can’t you just say “you know what, I was a stupid 21 year old who enjoyed at the time taking part in a really shitty tradition, but now I realize that it is stupid and cruel?” Are you just so invested…

Sweetie, stick to the smarmy justifications for getting off on watching an animal die. Making a funny ain’t your strong suit.

Of course you don’t believe it makes you a bad person. Neither do the people who fight dogs. It’s all part of the rich cultural tradition of barbaric douchebags lacking self-awareness.

Jesus what a bunch of mealy-mouthed shit. Torturing animals for entertainment is wrong. Full stop. You get off on watching animals being tortured for your pleasure because you think it makes you cultured and interesting, but it just makes you a bad person.

It’s a “culture and tradition” of barbarism. No better than dog fighting. Fuck its apologists.

What do you think happens to those bulls at the end of their route? They’re fucking tortured to death in a ring to amuse the same assholes who think they’re doing something cute by running down the street with them.
