There was a profile of Tripp in the New Yorker in 1998* that showed how much contempt she held for the Clintons. She hated Bill for womanizing (Tripp’s father had cheated on her mother) but she seemed to despise Hillary for her independence and lack of ladylike sensibilities. She compared Hillary unfavorably to…

It’s gross to invade a person’s sexual privacy.

I think we can all agree, right?

So, Natasha, if I can cut through the noise and ask a question: This was true. Were they right to publish?

You realize it’s possible to be strongly anti-Gamergate and also strongly against Gawker outing a private citizen for fun and profit, right? Especially since said private citizen works for a Gawker competitor, and said outing aids and abets the work of a felony blackmailer?

Yeah, this isn’t just GGers. It’s the whole goddam internet.

Please, no one of importance was harmed, only a man.

Redacting names to protect people during potential investigations and legal litigation that there is no confirmation of here...

You’re not taking his side? I thought you were all for invasion of privacy.

“...we are protecting their identities while they pursue legal action”

Natasha, you just wrote that: “Stories don’t need an upside. Not everyone has to feel good about the truth. If it’s true, you publish.” However, this story involves a plea of “no contest,” thereby rendering these ALLEGATIONS unproven. Your headline implies that all of these accusations have been proven in a court of…

Lol, I think Gawker affiliated sites need to take a break from posting these types of articles for a bit. Ya’ll lost a lot of cred last night.

He should have filmed the executives of Gawker’s competitors.

There ought to be a picture of you right next to the dictionary definition of hypocrisy. You’re the human personification of Feminism Lite.

This is Good job.

show us the videos! in the interest of newsworthiness!
